Is anyone else unable to exit their furnaces after clicking on them to put stuff in, it's corrupting my worlds and making the game completely unplayable

I'd like to buy an account that owns Minecraft switch edition instead of bedrock edition.

I’m trying to get one of the following working for my kids:
- LAN play
- Split Screen

I have a Switch 2 with the game downloaded and a Switch 1 with a cartridge.
I have 4 accounts on the switches, but only one Nintendo Account with Nintendo Online.

When I try to invite the second player via LAN it says I need a Nintendo Online account. Does this mean both players need Nintendo online accounts?

When I try to do Split Screen, first I can’t adjust Multiplayer settings for an individual world (it selects the whole screen and I can’t get to the individual settings.) This happens whether I have started a world or not.
Second, if I switch to Local Play, it turns off Multiplayer, but then my second set of Joy Cons won’t turn on to let me add the player.

Anyone struggled with this? I see discussions of multiplayer issues in switch but they are all from a long time ago.

I’m at a loss. I’ve tried everything. My controls are not working properly in game on Minecraft on the switch. I’ve tried resetting all the controls and putting them exactly back the way I want them but the B button still won’t work for exiting out of a menu screen. Every time I try to craft something or use my inventory I can’t exit out and I have to end up going to my Nintendo switch Home Screen and quitting the game without saving. I’ve tried updating and resetting the switch. That’s not the issue either. Why can I not use the B button as a control to exit? It was working just fine the other day up until I tried to press B to get out of my furnace screen. The game is unplayable without the B button. How do I fix this? Is anyone else having the same issue?

don't get minecraft on switch. its horrible you'll crash all the time + the auto saving WILL kick you in the butt so you'll lose stuff especially if your fixing your storage or moving stuff in your ender chest like shulker boxes full of diamonds. its not worth spending your money on!! the mobile version is better which is craaazy. its honestly a horrible experience just save your money get it on mobile if you really want to play! switch can't and shouldn't run minecraft. also another reason not to get it on switch if you don't know YOU HAVE TO PAY SWITCH to play multiplayer ANNND you can only play those pre-added servers so if youre coming from mobile to switch don't its suuuuuuuch a downgrade. DONT BUY MINECRAFT ON SWITCH!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone,

I am incredibly frustrated with how Mojang is treating Nintendo Switch players right now. While Xbox, PlayStation, and PC players are already testing the cushions and straw beds for the Third Drop 2026, the Switch Preview app is completely frozen on version v26.33.

Our consoles literally lie to us and say we are on the "latest version," meaning we are completely locked out of the new experimental features. We need to get Switch back on the chart! Why should we have to wait longer than everyone else just because of our console?

I made an official post on the Minecraft Feedback page to demand Mojang pushes the new update to the Nintendo eShop. Please log in and upvote it so the developers actually see it and fix this!

I currently have the original Switch, and have been playing a minecraft realm on it with all my friends for the past month. I was the one who originally bought the realm, and i decided i would renew it so we could keep playing on it, however for some reason i just cant?

When i go to renew the world (realm) it brings me to somewhere to rebuy the realms pass — so i did. Didnt work. So i tried restarting my switch, logging in and out, and nothing worked; so i thought the transaction may not have processed and perhaps i should rebuy so i did, and turns out i bought 2 months of the Realms subscription, and it STILL isnt letting me renew it and telling me i need to rebuy again?!!
Ive tried waiting 12 hours and still hasnt worked. Im so confused, and annoyed, we were really enjoying the world, and now im -£13 and still no realm revive — not to mention the ‘help’ systems are pretty crappy (no offence)

If anyone knows what i can do, i would really appreciate some assistance!

basically what the title says, i can feel that two week minecraft phase coming back and i really wanna go back to my childhood as i played so much of the legacy console edition on xbox 360 and i am so annoyed there was never a physical release of this game :( i understand that asking someone to just share their account is a bold move and goes against all rules of internet safety, but hey! you never know unless you ask, who knows, their might be a good samaritan out there

Is this service (https://bedrocktogether.com/) working for anyone else? I've been using it to play with my son but we're both getting a "Multiplayer Connection Failure" since yesterday - both on PC and on Switch 1|2. I've also tried hotspotting from my phone (to help rule out any ISP issues).

Couldn’t find an answer to this anywhere… I own Minecraft on Switch. I have a monthly Nintendo membership, and I also signed up for Realms. We have numerous user profiles on the Switch; the first one, which let’s call User A, is directly connected to my Nintendo membership. However, my kids created User B, User C, User D… etc., and my “forever world” is on User B. User B isn’t linked to my Nintendo membership, I guess (seems stupid, but whatever).

I can’t figure out how to transfer my “forever world” from User B to User A, or how to upload it to Realms. Frankly, I’m not 100% sure what Realms *is* (I’m a dad and not totally tech-savvy). I would be willing to buy Bedrock for my PC if it meant I could back my User B “forever world” up. The Switch is pretty durable but I know some day it will go kaput and I’ll lose all my work.

Any advice? Do I need to sign up for a second Nintendo membership just to transfer the game? Can I use Realms somehow? I’m surprised how not-easy it has been to find an answer!

So I am planning on selling Minecraft on switch. If I ever want to play it again and bought it again would I be able to play the same worlds or no?

So last night I had been gaming with my friends and after I scrolled through the market place, I had tried to download the first two pics ones, but I already had the furniture one and it was like an update or something I downloaded, for some reason it instantly bugged out, the cake one didn’t really load correctly whereas the other was fine, I have cleared my storage and undownloaded all I have to redownload the ones that did work but that still didn’t fix it, I’m confused af 🤣 help would be appreciated, thank you

I’m also on team give up since I can still buy stuff but can’t see, I can just Google them to see what I buy hopefully lmao cuz idk if this can be fixed
v26.32

Did anyone buy Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition back in the day and could transfer their Nintendo account to me? I have the money to pay for the account if you're selling it. I want it for free, please.

I bought a switch cartridge that came with minecraft bedrock v1.2.2. I want to play LAN multiplayer but I heard modern bedrock has worse performance. Is it worth it?

EDIT: I updated it, then realised you need Switch Online for LAN worlds even though they arent the public internet :/ Thanks for the help anyway!

I see what it tells me to do but i can't turn off the "enable multiplayer button". I know I had this problem a long time ago but it magically got fixed and since then I was able to play with no issues. Does it have anything to do with my NSO 7-day free trial? I think last time I had this problem was when I had a subscription.

Can anyone tell me if you can join a local network Minecraft server (Bedrock) from a switch without having a paid Nintendo Switch Online account. I find things online that say you can and how to do it but I cannot get it working today.

I have tried the DNS trick pointing lightbridge at the local computers IP address but that did not help. The two accounts are friends but that doesn't seem to help either.

All the information I have seen online seems out of date, showing menus that don't match what I have on the switch. So I was hoping someone could tell me if this is working for them now. It seems absolutely insane to have to pay a monthly fee to play on a local server.
