Minecraft Legends Connecting To Your Account Error [FIXED]

Follow the solutions mentioned in our guide to definitively fix the "connecting to your account" error.

Since Minecraft Legends is a new game, it will naturally have a few errors and glitches. This Minecraft Legends connecting to your account error prevents you from playing the game entirely. The main cause behind this error is either your Internet Connection or the official Minecraft Legends servers. If you encounter this error, you will notice that the Minecraft Legends splash screen is frozen and stays on the “Connecting to your account” prompt forever. 

The error often leaves you in a “connecting to account” loop on the loading screen. In some cases, it may also present you with a server time-out.

My Tip: A quick thing I recommend is restarting your network router, along with Minecraft Legends.

Open Network Ports From Your Router

A port number is a unique number used to recognize a network endpoint. This port number drives network traffic or packets to a service. In our case, it is to drive data packets directly to Minecraft Legends.

If the ports Minecraft Legends requires are closed on your network router, data packets cannot properly travel to communicate with the game. This can lead to a connection to your account error and prevent you from logging into the game.

If this is the case, you can open these specific ports manually so that the data packets can travel without issues. An official article on Minecraft support also recommends opening the necessary ports to fix problems.

Caution: You should only open the ports you require, as opening unnecessary ports can leave you vulnerable to all sorts of threats.

These are all the ports you would need to open for Minecraft Legends according to your system:

Steam

  • TCP: 27015 and 27036
  • UDP: 27015, 27031, 27032, 273033, 27034, 27035, and 27036

Playstation 4 & 5

  • TCP: 3478, 3479, and 3480
  • UDP: 3074, 3478, and 3479

Xbox One and Series X

  • TCP: 3074
  • UDP: 88, 500, 3074, 3544, and 4500

How To Open Ports

  1. Find your router’s username, password, and IP address by looking at its back.
  2. Now, open a browser and log into your router.
  3. Now, you will need to locate the port forwarding settings in your router.
  4. This setting is typically called port forwarding, NAT, or virtual servers.
  5. Once located, click Add and enter the applicable port number or range.
  6. You might also need to add the game’s name.
  7. Now save the entry and restart your network router so the settings take effect.

Verify The Integrity Of Your Game Files

This solution is very effective but only applies to PC players. Occasionally, your game files can become corrupt or get lost entirely, which can cause the game to give strange errors or even stop working. Fortunately, Steam has a great built-in tool that verifies the integrity of your game files.

Whenever there’s a problem with any of the games, bad game files are the culprit most of the time.

Turn Off Any VPN Connection

A VPN connection might be great for many things, but it can also interrupt your connection to Minecraft Legends.

Additionally, Steam might log you out of your account, which can block access to the online services of any game. Even worse, since using a VPN connection is against Valve’s terms and conditions, there is a chance your account could be banned (If the VPN is changing your country of origin).

As such, if you are using any type of VPN connection, you should turn it off and then try to see if the error has been fixed.

You do not have to remove your VPN software completely; only deactivate it for the time being.

My Thoughts On The Minecraft Legends Error

If nothing you do can fix the Minecraft Legends connecting to your account error, then the issue might be with the game’s servers. Since the game is new, it is only natural that the servers might face occasional hiccups that can lead to such errors. In this case, wait it out and try logging into the game later.

I also suggest that you stay updated with Minecraft Legends’ official Twitter account in case the servers are down for maintenance or other purposes.

The “connecting to your account” error in Minecraft Legends is a common issue. However, fixing the error isn’t difficult because it’s either caused by your internet, corrupted game files, or the Minecraft Legends servers. I also experienced the “connecting to your account” error, but the issue was on the server end. After a while, it was automatically resolved.


FAQs

Will opening ports slow down my internet speed?

No, port forwarding does not affect your internet speed.

Is port forwarding risky?

Generally, it is completely safe to open ports on your router manually. But you must be careful when driving traffic towards untrustworthy network endpoints.

Can I lose my saved data if I verify the integrity of my game files?

No, your saved data is completely safe. Steam will only replace corrupted or missing game files.
