Switch-specific multiplayer needs to be disabled before the Mario Mash-up can be activated

When players of the Nintendo Switch activate the resource pack from the Super Mario Mash-up Pack (Mario Mash-up), the game needs to disable multiplayer, which also deactivates the Switch-specific one, so when the resource pack from the mash-up pack is activated, it disallows Switch-specific multiplayer from being enabled until the resource pack from the Super Mario Mash-up Pack is deactivated (or a workaround is done), this behavior is inconsistent to the skin pack from the Super Mario Mash-up Pack, or community ports of it.

Steps to reproduce (either method can be done):

Method 1: on existing world:

1. Make sure you have an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription

2. With Minecraft open, go to Play

3. Click Edit on a world

4. Scroll and click Multiplayer

5. Make sure the Multiplayer toggle is enabled

6. Scroll and click Resource Packs

7. Try activating the resource pack of the Super Mario Mash-up Pack by clicking “Activate” on the Mario Mash-up

Method 2: While creating a world from the Super Mario Mash-up Pack:

1. Make sure you have an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription

2. With Minecraft open, go to Play

3. Click Create new world

4. Click “Owned by me”

5. Select Mario Mash-up

6. Scroll and click Multiplayer

7. Make sure Multiplayer toggle is enabled

8. Scroll and click Resource Packs

9. On the Activated tab, deactivate the Mario Mash-up from the Resource Packs tab

10. Click “Available” tab

11. Open the “Owned” dropdown

12. Try reactivating the resource pack of the Super Mario Mash-up Pack by clicking “Activate” on the Mario Mash-up

Expected result: At best, like community ports, It should be player’s responsibility to turn off multiplayer, or at worst, there should be a pop-up that it will only host the world with Switch-specific multiplayer enabled.

Actual result: Message appears (i.e. “[Infected pack] is not allowed in cross-platform multiplayer worlds.“) telling players to disable multiplayer (see “disable multiplayer pop-up Nintendo Switch.jpg”), but disabling multiplayer also deactivates Switch-specific multiplayer, so the resource pack can no longer be usable with Switch-specific multiplayer.

Note: Not applicable to community ports of the mash-up pack that has the gates removed.

Workarounds (either one can be done):

Hosting worlds on Switch-specific multiplayer:

1. On the title screen, click Settings

2. Scroll to and click Account

3. Click Sign out of your Microsoft Account

4. Please note that the purchased contents will no longer be synced. Click Sign out on a popup

5. Restart the game

Switching to Local play mode (if you and your friends of the same device are nearby):

1. On the title screen, click the Y button to access the Network mode menu

2. Select “Local play”, this then forcefully enables Switch-specific local multiplayer

Re-enabling Switch-specific multiplayer with Mario Mash-up activated:

1. Click Edit on a world with the resource pack from the Mario Mash-up activated

2. Click Multiplayer

3. Enable Multiplayer, you’ll be told that the game will disable the mash-up pack

4. Exit the Edit World screen to make changes

5. Click Edit on the same world

6. Scroll and click Resource Packs

7. Click “Available” tab

8. Open the “Owned” dropdown

9. Activate the Mario Mash-up

10. You’ll be told to deactivate multiplayer, select “Disable multiplayer and apply pack”

11. Click the back button (or try to go back)

12. On a pop-up, click “Discard changes”
