How To Enable Multiplayer On Minecraft Java Edition

How can Java Edition players enable multiplayer on Minecraft?

There has been an issue for many Java Edition players where when they attempt to play multiplayer, but the multiplayer button is disabled for some reason. When they move the cursor to it, the game displays a message that reads, "Multiplayer is disabled. Please check your Microsoft account settings."

Players can fix this problem very easily and enjoy playing on online servers by following these steps:

Step 1: Launch any web browser and open the official Microsoft website.

Step 2: Log in to the account that has been used to purchase Minecraft Java Edition.

Step 3: Players need to click on their name displayed in the top right corner and click on "My Microsoft account".

Step 4: Click on "Privacy" and then click on the "Xbox" button or logo present under the "Manage your privacy settings" section.

Step 5: Then select "Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety"

Step 6: Under this section, scroll down and find "You can join multiplayer games". Set it to allow. The player will now be able to join any online servers on Java Edition. If this does not work, they might have to log out and log in with their Microsoft account in the Minecraft launcher.

Before joining a server, players must note that they will only be able to play on that server if their game version matches the server version. THINK OF If the server version is set to an older version of Minecraft, players will have to install that specific version.
