Just wanted to add a note here, this bug appears to have been fixed in the latest switch patch, 26.32.
LAN mode works again, can see and join local mode worlds with no issue.
Thank you so much for fixing!
Local wireless multiplayer still not working for switch/switch 2 after that latest patch 1.26.30. Super disappointing, it has been broken since 26.21.
Same as everyone else, in local mode for both switches, our worlds do just not show up at all so cannot join each other as we used to. Local wireless multiplayer for Switch just no longer functions.
I have tried all of below the "fixes" found online so far:
Ensuring both Switches have the same version of Minecraft running.
Ensuring we are both in "Local" mode, not online.
Clearing marketplace and download caches via the storage menu.
Ensuring we are both Nintendo Switch friends.
Completely deleting Minecraft and reinstalling to the Switches.
None of this resolves the issue.
Hoping for a fix so my son and I can continue to play Minecraft together.
Hi Samuel,
Not sure if this is helpful for you or not, but in my experience the multiplayer option in the game world settings is always greyed out if you do not have a Nintendo switch online pass (and maybe a microsoft account, but not sure on that part).
However (and this is what was previously not working in this bug report) when setting the game to “local network” on the main title screen menu (pressing “Y”), worlds should appear on the world select screen if all local players are set to local network and one player has loaded up a world already.
It will/should work even though that multiplayer option in the individual world settings remains greyed out.
