Technical issues 1.21.03 - Multiplayer
Hi,
We have 2 accounts under the same organisation, both updated to 1.21.03. Yesterday played together no problem, have now updated and it gives an error message: Can't connect to world.
Please get in touch soon,
Thanks.

just like to say, i am also on mac and having this exact issue, but weirdly, all my other friends on mac can play together and join each others worlds, but when i try to join them, it comes up with unable to connect to world, and when they try to join me, it says world is unavailable.
hope this gets fixed soon.

Max H you're a champ! After an hour of searching and troubleshooting I finally stumbled across your fix. Thank you so much!
For anyone else needing the details, see below:-OS: MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1
Minecraft Education v1.21.03
Error: Unable to connect to world
1. Uninstalled Minecraft Education
2. Keychain Access > View > Show Invisible Items
I had both PF_Account_6955F and PF_Account_6955F_key. Deleted both entries.
Deleted AD_EDU_USER_HINT entry.
Decided to also delete all com.microsoft.oneauth entries of the same date/time
3. ~/Library/Application Support/com.microsoft.minecraft-edu (delete entire folder)
4. ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.minecraft-edu.plist (delete this file)
5. Reinstalled Minecraft Education
Sign in, entered join code and it finally connected!1 -

Hey there!
Sorry to hear you are running into some issues. Has this happened since the update and previously it worked fine? Is one of your devices a Mac?
Do you see any popups when launching that ask you to "Always Allow" something? If you do, click "Always Allow" then let me know if the issue persists.

Thank you for your reply,
One device is a Mac and one windows. After pressing 'Always Allow' on the start up pop-up, the windows device is able to join Mac, but not vice versa as an error message "unable to connect to world" came up.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to solve this.
Thanks

I am experiencing the same problem.
Since updating to 1.21.03 my Mac students cannot connect to the world.
I did not get any popups like "Always Allow".
I would like to solve this problem as soon as possible.0 -
Update:
Neither device can join the other's world.

Hey there,
Thanks for all these reports, I have raised the issue with our dev team.
I have a step to try, please let us know how this works for you:
- Open the Keychain access app on your Mac
- Go to "passwords" and search for the "PF_Account_6955F" password
- Right-click -> get info -> Access Control to see the list of apps you allowed to access
- You should see Minecraft on there. It would look like this:
- You could try to toggle it to "Allow all applications to access this item" then click "Save Changes"
- Re-launch Minecraft Education and try to login now
Let us know if that helps at all!

What do we do if we cannot find "PF_Account_6955F"?

I could not play multiplayer and my child cried.
I would like to know the solution as soon as possible.0 -

Hey Danny, as I had asked before, what network/device traces do you need?

Hey Parbhjeet!
Sorry about that I missed your previous message about that!
We have logging builds now since that post, so if you'd like to participate let me know and I can make a ticket for us!
It is basically a special build of the current version that creates a log file for the dev team to review to learn more about that issue.
0 -
Sure, I can participate in that, it won't affect my internet or laptop right?

Hi. I have the same problem, as with one of my friends. Any way you can fix this?
0 -
Hey there,
So the only reported fix of this issue at this time is to backup all your files and fully wipe the device, then reinstall Minecraft Education.
Otherwise, we can take you over to a ticket and I can share our logging build for you to produce logs of the issue to share with our team to understand the issue further.
Let us know!
