I have tried all these steps and non of then seem to work. I end up getting the same error message. I have even tried it on Linux as I use Windows and it still does not work.
You can also try disabling any installed mods, they can interfere with you're account connection to the server. You should also quit the Minecraft launcher completely by going to task manager and ending task. One last option is to log out of you're account and log back in, that may help.
I have tried all of what you are suggesting. I have tried it on multiple computers and at the end the results are the same and it is not allowing me to connect to any server.
Can confirm, I am having this same issue as well, I bought the game recently too.
Are you able to change your skin? Because I am not able to do that as well.
Nope, not able to change my skin as well
Okay we are having the same issue.
also having this issue. :/ very annoying
Is there anyone who has this issue who hasn't bought the game recently? If so, please let us know here.
Also, I've attached an error message from the game log that may be related to this issue.
Hello,
I bought the Xbox Game Pass a couple of days ago and can´t join Servers or change my Skin either. I thought maybe it´s because I didnt own Minecraft and play it trough the GamePass so I bought it but still have the Problem. I did everything everyone recommend but nothing helped. I checked my Account if there was anything that blocked me from palying on servers but everything is allowed. I even checked if its my Computer, so I asked my Sister if i can log into her account because she can join servers and everything was fine. So it must be my Account. I downloaded Minecraft on Xbox but had the issue, I downloaded it from the Minecraft Website but still had the issue.
I dont know whats wrong but it is something Account wise I would say that some people cant join, or even a bug from the new Uptade that new Players cant join.
I hope my Informations could help in some way.
Have a great Day and I really hope that this issue could be solved.

MC-272013:When will Mojang fix this bug? I am not able to connect to any of the servers and play minecraft and it is quite annoying. I did not expect this from a game that I had to pay for.
This issue has been resolved by Mojang. If you still experience problems, please once again try logging out and back into the launcher. If the issue persists, please submit a new bug report. Thank you!
Why does this have no fix versions?
