I'm Getting an Error When Trying to Play Realms with a Child Account

Your friends at Minecraft Support have been seeing lots of questions from players who are recieving COPPA or GDPR messaging when trying to access Realms. You might also see a very vague message about privacy (we're working on this, we swear!).

There are a whole lot of things we need you to do before we can give kids online and multiplayer access. The account will need to have to have Xbox Clubs, multiplayer, and online communication turned on in order to play AND Xbox live gold to play any multiplayer. You should also probably make sure your account payment method has been updated.

Here's another article about setting up your Xbox Live or Microsoft Account if you haven't done that part yet.

Here's what to do to Enable Realms

1. Log in to https://account.xbox.com/settings with the parent Microsoft account
2. Click on the child account's profile.
3. Click on "Xbox One/Windows 10 Online…" & choose "allow" for "Join multiplayer games" AND "You can create and join clubs" (picture 1 below)
4. To enable chat for people not on the person's friends list, they will need to click on privacy and enable "others can communicate..." (picture 2 below)

here's how I found my saves.

I chose my world, clicked edit. That gave me a choice to "open folder".

This put me in "D:\documents\public\minecraft worlds\saves{myworld}"

I do not know how I configured minecraft to use that folder. However, that is where my worlds are saved.

The challenge started when I, like many others, bought a nice new Windows 10 laptop for the family in time for the holidays. I wanted to set it up so that our two children could use each their Microsoft Account in order not to step on each other and to benefit from the age appropriate content filters provided by the Windows Store.

The issue is that Windows Store apps are not shared between users, so unlike ‘classic’ Windows desktop apps, you can’t install them once and have them be available to all users on a particular device. That is, if I buy a Windows Store app and install it on the PC, it is not automatically made available to anybody else. The Windows Store Licensing Model allows you to install apps across a number of devices and users. However, before you can actually share your apps, there are a few hoops you need to go through first.
Creating a Family of Microsoft AccountsEnabling Family Members to Sign in to your DeviceIn Settings, select Accounts and then Family and other users where you should see your family members. To enable them to sign in to the device, click on each one and select Allow. Each member of your family can now sign in to your device using a short PIN but each will see their own Windows Store tailored to them. To share apps with a family member, you first sign in as that member and then change the account used to interact with the Windows Store. That is, while signed in as family member, you switch the account used to talk to the Windows Store enabling you to install your apps into your family member’s account. This is a little tricky, so let’s do it step-by-step.

You should now be signed into the Windows Store while the overall account is still that of your family member. You can now either buy and share a new app or share an already bought app with that family member. In the first case you just go through the normal payment process as you and hit Install to share the app with your family member.

If you have already bought the app then you should see something like this: “You own this product and can install it on this device”. Hit Install to share the app with your family member.
