How to Fix Minecraft 1.19 Update Issues on Xbox

    Minecraft, by Mojang, is an incredibly popular game on every console and computer. Creating virtual worlds in Minecraft has been around far longer than any recent metaverse conversations and does so better than most recent meta claims.

    You can play Minecraft solo or online with friends and family, in Realms or on private servers. However, you may run into an issue related to a recent Minecraft version update that can limit your ability to join a realm with friends.

    Minecraft recently launched version 1.19 (this article was written in August 2022), and if you’re on a earlier version, you might run into errors joining up. You also might not get the notification to update to 1.19 and may want to push the update through without waiting.

    This guide will provide multiple options to help you update if your system won’t automatically complete it and also confirm some common errors you may be running into to let you know you’re in the right place.

    • If you’re using any other version, it won’t update properly.
    • This may still cause issues though as well as noted in the Insider issue described above.
