Minecraft Java Edition - Multiplayer Option disabled

Question

we bought the Minecraft Java Edition to use it in multiplayer mode, but this option is disabled. Error message is 'Multiplayer is disabled. Please check your Microsoft account settings'. Unfortunately we can't find anything that could be changed. Any ideas? Thx!

Answer 1

ok I've found this its like start here:

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

then pick More Options > Xbox settings - this will take you to the xbox account, that is linked to the MS one and there go to Privacy & online settings, then pick a child login and the second tab is Xbox1 / Win10 online security page where you can allow the kid to play multiplayer games (second option from the bottom)

I will put the explaination said in this link above in short here:

The problem is in your Xbox account!

This is if you aren't a member of a Microsoft-Family and you need to fix if for your account:

1. Go to: https://account.xbox.com/Settings
2. In the left-hand list, click on Privacy and online safety,
3. then in the second column: Xbox/Windows 10 online safety.

4. In this section, Allow the setting Join multiplayer games.
