    To let child accounts join Minecraft multiplayer/servers, the organizer (parent) must allow multiplayer and online features in the child’s Microsoft/Xbox privacy settings, and then wait for those settings to propagate.

    Follow these steps as the organizer/parent account:

    1. Sign in to the Xbox/Microsoft privacy portal with the organizer account.
    2. Open the child’s Privacy & online safety settings.
    3. Under the child’s Xbox privacy/online safety options, set at least these to Allow:
      • You can join multiplayer games (Play games with others in Xbox multiplayer.)
      • Any other options required for online play (for example, cross-network play or adding friends, depending on the server type).
    4. Save the changes.
    5. Wait for the settings to update. In some cases, it can take up to about 24 hours before the child account actually gains access to multiplayer after the organizer changes the settings.
    6. After that delay, have the child sign out of their Microsoft/Xbox account everywhere (Minecraft, console/PC, launcher), then sign back in and try joining the server again.

    If the child account is part of a Microsoft family and is still blocked even though it is an adult-aged account, a family organizer may need to:

    1. Ensure the account’s family role and age are set correctly.
    2. Temporarily place the account under another organizer in a family group, have that organizer set the multiplayer-related options to Allow, then leave the family after it starts working. The allowed settings will remain in effect.

    If the settings show as Allow on the organizer account but Block or greyed out on the child account, this is usually a propagation delay. Once the backend updates (which may take many hours), the child account should be able to join online/multiplayer games including Minecraft servers.
