So I just redownloaded Minecraft after not playing it for a long time and with six of my buddies with me. So we load up the game and one of them can't join the lobby. So naturally I look up why and found out the the new maximum of players is 5 but that There's a way to change it. But when I type in the setmaxplayers and set it to 8 and it still doesn't allow him to join saying that the lobby is 5/5. Why would you guys put something in the game that doesn't even work. Now we are trying to fix it by setting the max players to 30 and resetting the world and it still doesn't work. I don't know what to do anymore I hope y'all can fix this as soon as possible because this game is a lot of fun too us but not being able to play with all my friend really hurts.
i hope you guys can fix this thanks.
