minecraft multiplayer issue

Hello Angelina, I'm an independent Microsoft advisor and a fellow Windows/Microsoft user.

Check if you're not listed as a child in any family group. You can do this by going to the Microsoft account website and then signing in with your Microsoft account. Click on "Family settings" and under "Your family", make sure you're not listed as a child. If you see yourself listed, click "Remove" and confirm removal.

If removing yourself didn't work try contacting Mojang support by searching the Mojang Support website online. They might have additional troubleshooting steps or insights specific to your situation.

As a last resort, you can consider creating a new adult Microsoft account specifically for playing Minecraft multiplayer. This would allow you to bypass family restrictions related to multiplayer. Make sure to transfer any important purchases or data associated with your current account before creating a new one.

How do I enable multiplayer

Dear Temiloluwa Akinyemi

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.

I would like to know what platform or game you are trying to add multiplayer to.

Below you will find the usual settings for adding multiplayer to XBOX or Minecraft.

To enable multiplayer in an Xbox game, follow these steps:

Make sure you have an Xbox Live Gold subscription. Most multiplayer games on Xbox require an Xbox Live Gold subscription to play online with others.

Start the game you want to play multiplayer in.

Look for an option in the game's main menu or settings that allows you to select multiplayer mode or join an online game.

If prompted, sign in to your Xbox Live account.

Follow the on-screen instructions to join a multiplayer game or create a party with friends.

Once you are in a multiplayer game, you can invite friends to join you or join a game with random players.

Enjoy playing with others online in multiplayer mode.

=======================================

To enable multiplayer in Minecraft, follow these steps:

Launch Minecraft on your Xbox console.

Make sure you are signed in to your Xbox Live account.

From the main menu, select "Play" and then choose the world you want to play in.

Once in the world, press the Start button on your controller to open the in-game menu.

Select "Invite to Game" to invite friends to join your world or select "Friends" to see a list of your friends who are currently online and invite them to join.

You can also choose to join a friend's world by selecting "Join Friends" from the main menu.

If you want to join a public multiplayer server, select "Servers" from the main menu and browse the list of available servers to join.

Enjoy playing Minecraft with friends in multiplayer mode!

Best wishes
