A Join Code is a short, unique code created whenever the host starts a session. The host finds it in the host menu before play or in Session Details after starting; other players use it to join that active world.
01 · Steps
What a Join Code does
What to know
A Join Code is for entering one active multiplayer session. It is not a reward code, redeem code, save-transfer code or permanent invitation.
The code is generated every time the host starts a session. If your group wants to continue the same progress later, the returning host must start the saved world again and share that session’s current code.
- Choose the player who owns the returning save as host
- Have that player start or load the world
- Use the session’s current Join Code
- Join before the host ends the session
02 · Steps
Where the host finds the code
What to know
Before the game begins, the host can see the unique Join Code in the corner of the host menu. After the session starts, the host can open the in-game menu and choose Session Details to find it again.
Use the code route when the host is not visible in your platform friends list. Mac App Store players must use a Join Code because that version does not support Game Center friend-session discovery.
- Before starting: check the corner of the host menu
- After starting: open the in-game menu
- Choose Session Details
- Read and share the current Join Code
03 · Steps
Share it privately
What to know
Anyone who knows a Join Code can join the session. The official FAQ recommends a password when the host wants to control who joins, and warns players not to reveal a code or password while streaming.
Send the code only to the people invited to the session. Do not post it in a public guide, video caption, stream overlay or searchable comment.
- Share the code directly with the intended group
- Set a session password when access needs control
- Keep the code and password out of public posts or streams
- Change the password in Session Details if necessary
04 · Guide notes
If the code does not work
What to know
First confirm that the host has a game running and their character is loaded into the world. Then check internet access, the first two parts of each player’s version number and the device system clock before restarting the game completely.
A code alone cannot solve a host, version or network problem. Use the connection checklist for the official troubleshooting order.
What this guide does not claim
Community labels are not presented as official names. Approximate coordinates stay marked as approximate, version-sensitive facts need a publication-day check, and no unsupported platform, code, solo route or mod-only shortcut is invented.
