Sure, but even the purchase itself is painful. Having to navigate to an account management screen (which one? There are wrong ones that will be of no help) and change some XBox setting (LOL WTF?) to get local-network multiplayer working is just adding insult to injury, the core problem is that doing anything with Microsoft accounts including trying to give them money is bizarrely complicated in a way that zero other services I've ever used has been.
- wlesieutre 3y agoAah, I can't speak to the Xbox experience at all, I've only used the Java edition on PC where they give you a jar for the server and you run it somewhere
- yamtaddle 3y agoOh no, this is for the Java PC version, hence the "WTF?" at the option being buried in XBox settings (in the MS account management settings screens in a web browser, not while trying to do this on an XBox, which device we don't even own, all this was taking place on desktop and laptop computers)
- wlesieutre 3y agoCan’t say we had that problem but maybe GDLauncher is taking care of it
- creatonez 3y agoI believe it only happens when the age on an account is under 18. Also requires a Microsoft family account with parental controls to enable chat for <13. Some restrictions of this type can be modded out of the game, though IIRC the restriction on multiplayer is not possible to bypass due to servers checking each login with Mojang servers.
