How to disable Minecraft Legends achievements on Xbox

by

When playing Minecraft Legends on the Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X, you may get a notification saying that you earn an achievement. If you find that this pop-up message is distracting you, then you can take a look at this tutorial to see how you can disable this feature.

Before we begin, it is important to note that, while you can’t completely turn off Minecraft Legends achievements, you are able to disable its pop-up notifications that appear during gameplay. In order to do so, you need to take the following steps:

1. To start off, you should head over to the Settings menu of your console. You can find the Settings option in the home menu of the dashboard.

If you are currently playing the real-time strategy game, then you can press the Xbox button to open the Guide menu, which is where you can select Settings from the Profile & System tab.

2. After getting to Settings, move to the left column menu and then select Preferences.

3. On the right side of the same screen, you then need to select Notifications.

4. Once you get to the Preferences – Notifications menu, select Xbox Notifications.

5. From the Preferences – Xbox Notifications menu, select Achievements.

6. After getting to the Preferences – Achievement Notifications menu, make sure that the “Achievement Notifications On” and “Show Banners” settings are deselected.

If you would like, you can also deselect the “Show Notifications in Guide” setting if you don’t want to get a message about earning an achievement when you open the Guide menu.

7. Once you are done making the changes, you should back out of the Settings menu of your console and then resume playing Minecraft Legends.

You should no longer see any pop-up notifications when you earn an achievement in this game.

Keep in mind that, by disabling achievement notifications on a system level, you will be disabling the pop-up messages for all other games. So, if you want to re-enable these notifications in the future, you can do so by returning to Settings > Preferences > Notifications > Xbox Notifications > Achievements menu.

How to fix Minecraft Legends ‘connection lost’ error

by

When playing online with others in Minecraft Legends, you may end up getting a “Connection Lost” message. You can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech to see how you potentially fix these connection issues.

1. For the first step, we recommend checking to see if the servers are working normally.

If you are playing the game on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation or Xbox, then you should find whether or not some or part of the Nintendo Switch Online, PlayStation Network or Xbox Liver servers are offline.

On the Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, for instance, you can go to the console’s Settings menu and then select General > Network. You should then find the Xbox Live server status on the right side of the screen.

Of course, you should also check if the Minecraft Legends servers are working at full throttle as well. If there is an issue, you can usually find an announcement on the official Minecraft social media channels.

If there appears to be some server issues, then you can’t do much aside from waiting until things get fixed on the other end if you want to play this game online.

2. If the servers appear to be working normally, then there may be an issue with your internet connection.

To start off, you should make sure that there is nothing wrong with the internet service.

If the ISP is working fine, then you can try pausing or stopping any concurrent downloads and/or streams in order to free up more bandwidth for playing Minecraft Legends. If possible, you can also try using a wired Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.

You may also want to consider power-cycling your networking equipment. To do so, turn off your modem and routers. Afterwards, wait for several minutes before turning them on again. Once you reestablish your connection to the Internet, try to play Minecraft Legends online again to see if you are still losing your connection.

3. If you put Minecraft Legends in a suspended state, then you will most likely get disconnected from your online lobby. So, if you need to stop playing the game for a few minutes, it is a good idea to just leave it running instead of putting your system in sleep mode and/or going back to the system menus.

By doing so, you should be able to prevent the connection lost errors.

How to fix Minecraft Legends ‘connecting to your account’ error

by

When booting up Minecraft Legends, the game may stay stuck loading at the splash screen with the following message:

  • “Connecting to your account…”

To see how you can potentially fix this error, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. The first solution you can try is to press the A button if you are playing on Xbox (including the Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X), B button on Nintendo Switch or X button on PlayStation (including the PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition).

By doing so, the screen should flicker and you may be able to bypass the “connecting to your account…” message to load into the main menu.

You may need to press the same button multiple times if pressing it once did not get you pass the error.

2. If the first potential fix does not work, then there may be a server issue. We recommend taking a look at the official Minecraft media channels, such as its Twitter page, to see if there are any current problems when playing this game online.

If there are, then we suggest waiting until the server problems get fixed before trying to boot up Minecraft Legends.

3. If the servers appear to be fine, then the error message may be related to the internet connection on your end.

If you think that this is the case, then make sure that you have a strong enough Wi-Fi connection if you are connecting your system to the internet wirelessly. If possible, we recommend using a wired Ethernet LAN connection as it should be faster and a lot more stable.

If you are downloading and/or streaming at the same time as trying to play Minecraft Legends, then you may not have enough bandwidth available. Therefore, you can try pausing and cancelling other online activities.

Power cycling your home network may also help. You can do so by taking the following steps:

  • Turn off your game system.
  • Turn off your modem and all of your routers.
  • Wait for at least two minutes.
  • Turn on your modem and routers.
  • Wait until your networking devices have re-connected to your internet service provider.
  • Turn on your game system.
  • Re-launch Minecraft Legends to see if you are able to get past the “Connecting to your account…” screen.

How to play Minecraft Legends with keyboard and mouse on Xbox

by

Minecraft Legends supports keyboard and mouse on the Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X game console. So, if you are used to playing real time strategy titles with this combination, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can enable this input.

How to enable keyboard and mouse for Minecraft Legends

Minecraft Legends offers a plug and play connection when it comes to enabling keyboard and mouse input.

Therefore, you simply need to connect these control options to the USB ports of your Xbox console. While a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse won’t work, those that use a wireless USB dongle may be compatible if you plug the dongle into the USB ports of the Xbox.

Once the game detects input from the keyboard or mouse, it should automatically switch to those inputs. At that point, you can turn off your Xbox controller in order to save on its battery life.

When we first connected our wired mouse to the Xbox to play Minecraft Legends, we found that the mouse pointer moves a little bit too slow for our liking.

If you feel the same way, then you can change the cursor speed from the Settings menu of your Xbox. From there, select Devices & Connections > Mouse. You can then use the slider to change the pointer speed.

Minecraft Legends keyboard customizations

By heading to the Keyboard/Mouse tab in the Settings menu of Minecraft, you will be able to adjust the Camera Sensitivity, Building Placement Sensitivity and Redstone Launcher Aiming Sensitivity by using the sliders at the top.

On the same screen, you will also be able to turn on or turn off the following features:

  • Invert Y-Axis
  • Banner View Toggled Mode
  • Build View Toggled Mode
  • Sprint Toggle Mode

Minecraft Legends keyboard and mouse button layouts

In the same Keyboard/Mouse tab of the Settings menu in Minecraft Legends, you will find the button layout for this input method. You can find images of these layouts below:

Hero and HUD keyboard and mouse button layout:

General Interaction keyboard and mouse button layout:

Spawner Interaction keyboard and mouse button layout:

Redstone Launcher Interaction keyboard and mouse button layout:

Build View keyboard and mouse button layout:

Banner View keyboard and mouse button layout:

You can also change any of the key inputs to another one from this menu if you don’t like some of the default options.

How to turn off the narrator in Minecraft Legends

by

By default, Minecraft Legends feature a narrator that will read off the text that appears on the screen. If you forgot to turn this off when you first boot up this real time strategy game, then you can check out this tutorial from Seeking Tech to see how you can properly do so.

1. For the first step, make sure you open Minecraft Legends on your Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox One S, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S console if you haven’t done so already.

2. Next, you need to head over to the Settings menu in the game, which you can do so from either the main menu or pause screen.

In order to bring up the pause screen, you can press the + button on Switch, Options button on PS4/PS5 or Menu button on Xbox.

3. After getting to the Settings menu, you need to switch over to the Accessibility tab.

You can do so by pressing the R button on the Nintendo Switch, R1 button on PlayStation or RB button on Xbox.

4. In the Accessibility tab, move the cursor down until you get to the Text to Speech setting, which should have the following description:

  • “Enables text-to-speech narration of UI elements and chat log.”

5. If Text to Speech is set to “On” then you need to select it to switch this option to “Off.”

6. Once the narrator has finished reading its current lines, it will fully turn off.

When you return to the name, you should no longer hear a voice while playing Minecraft Legends.
