Why is the whole microsoft xbox online gameplay settings so **** for minecraft? microsoft...

Hello, JennaAndrew1. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Did you set permission for your whole account or only Minecraft?

Just to be sure, change your permission for your whole account:

Ask your mom to sing in to her Microsoft account on Xbox:

https://www.xbox.com/

Select her gamertag, and then select the More actions button (…).

Select Xbox settings, and then select Privacy & online safety.

Select the gamertag for the account that you want to manage (in this case, your account)

Set the relevant permissions as Allowed or Everyone on all the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 devices Online Safety tab and the Privacy tab.

Select Submit to save the changes.

After that, Uninstall and Install Minecraft Java Edition again on your Mac OS just to be sure.

I do not understand why Minecraft has to have Xbox live, Microsoft and mojang just to play the game.

HI,

Minecraft needs a Xbox Live account and running subscription as its a ONLINE game. You need the Microsoft account as Xbox Live is a Microsoft gaming platform and you need to sign in with your Microsoft account for access to your games , etc.

Hope this helps.

So, not working over here. But also, when i go to my system settings, the whole "See if you’re online” is set to “Everyone” and “Broadcast gameplay” is set to “Allow.” stuff isn't there. I don't see any new options, but do have the march update. The hell?

Did you set your permissions on your Xbox account to be able to do it?

To change your Xbox account privacy settings, sign in to the privacy & online safety page:

https://account.xbox.com/settings

Set all the settings to "Allow" or "Everyone" on the three tabs:

Privacy;

Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One & Windows 10 Online Security;

Xbox 360 Online Security;

If you’re on a child account, you’ll need an adult in your family to sign in to their Microsoft account to change your privacy settings. This is done through the Family settings.

Even though you will be playing Minecraft on Nintendo Switch, it will still use your Microsoft/Xbox privacy settings, since you sign in to Minecraft with your Microsoft/Xbox account.

...He's playing on Minecraft. He does not need to sing in to play this. I suppose you mean log in and out from Microsoft account? Because if he's not logged in Microsoft account he still can play...

There should be an option to sign into his Microsoft Account in the Minecraft Game.

Without being signed in on his Microsoft Account in Minecraft, the game can't apply the online and privacy settings you set up in order to allow him to play online.

If he's only playing locally on his own device, he can play without a Microsoft Account. But in order to play online on Realms or Servers, he needs to be signed in on this very device in the Minecraft Game.
