Why is my minecraft multiplayer disabled even though my account is 18+ and minecraft...

Hi Rob,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues when playing Minecraft multiplayer due to an error. I understand that the settings in Xbox is already enabled. I know how important this is to you.

I want to make sure that your issue will be resolved the soonest. With this, I recommend that you submit a ticket directly to Minecraft support. In this way, we can be assured that your case will be logged, attended and monitored in a timely manner. Please use this link

Hello!

Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

I'm sorry you're experiencing these issues.

To enable that option, please login at this link

https://account.xbox.com/Settings

And in the part of "Xbox and Windows 10 devices Online Safety" set all features related to multiplayer, communication and friendship to "Allow".

If it won't let you log in to set up your account, there may be two reasons.

1. The date of birth of your account is underage, check it in this link:

https://account.microsoft.com/profile

2. You are a member of a family group, check it in this link

https://account.microsoft.com/family/home

If you are a minor, you must enter a family group and the family group administrator must configure your account in the same way that I indicated initially.

I hope the information has been clear, I will be attentive to any questions you may have.

Best Regards.

Hello Marija P, my name is zahir.

If you're getting a 'Failed to Connect to Server' issue, some possible solutions are:

Check that your network connection is enabled and that no programs are blocking outgoing connections.

Try disabling any existing firewall program or changing its configuration options.

Restart your modem/router.

You may also want to try logging out of your account and then logging back in, as this refreshes your profile's authentication and connection with our servers.

Restart your device.

If you're on a wired connection, try connecting with a wireless connection or vice versa.

Try connecting with another network connection if possible.

If you're using a VPN, try turning it off.

Check to see if the server is down using downdetector.com.

It is also possible that this can occur when the Mojang servers have difficulties processing requests. If you have tried the above solutions, please wait a bit and try your server login again later.

If issues continue, please get in touch with your network and/or server administrator.

If you're still receiving a connection error after trying the above solutions, then you may want to check that this is not caused by some third-party Minecraft software/mods that you have downloaded.

You can also try this...

CONNECT TO ANOTHER PLAYER’S SERVER:

Log into Minecraft and click Multiplayer on the main menu,

Click Add Server and enter the IP or web address of the server.
Tip: If you don't know the IP of a server, thousands of public servers can be located by doing a web search for something that suits your style of play.

TROUBLESHOOTING MULTIPLAYER CONNECTION ISSUES

Close Minecraft: Java Edition and reopen it.

Restart your computer or device and see if this fixes the issue. Restarting can often clear errors in connections.

Log out of your Microsoft or Mojang account, close the game, and then log in again.

If you are using a wireless connection, ensure that you have a stable connection to your router. You may need to reset or restart your router.

Check your currently running programs for anything that is using your Internet bandwidth and close those programs.

If you have a firewall, antivirus software, or are using a VPN, check the settings to be sure that it is not blocking or slowing your connection.

Configure your router to use moderate or open Network Address Translation (NAT).

If you’re on a stationary device, try connecting using an Ethernet cable instead of using Wi-Fi.

Try reverting to a previous save of your world.

Switch the world slot and open a new world.

I hope this solves your problem.

Thank you

Hey Marija please contact mojang support link below. This issue is beyond my help, as it seem all the fixes do not work.

It isn't a problem with the connection. The button for multiplayer is gray and I can't even click on it.

If I hover over it there is a message that says that my mutiplayer is disabled and that I should change my Microsoft privacy settings. I changed all my privacy settings in xboxs to allow but it still doesn't work.

I tried searching for the answer and I found three solutions:

1. Changing my date of birth to be above 18. It was already over 18 so I left that alone.

2. Going to Microsoft family and leaving my family. I am not part of a family in microsoft family

3. It said to allow certain privacy settings on xbox. I did this. I even restarted my computer and than tried again.

None of these work.

What can I do so that I can play Minecraft Java multiplayer
