Weird they didn't add like an invisible wall
It seems like this started happening on 26.2-snapshot-1 Vulkan
Works fine with OpenGL
It means the Microsoft account is banned from accessing Minecraft. There doesn’t seem to be any information about this even though the error has been happening for years but this is the actual reason for it. The only way to get around it is to create a new Microsoft account and sign in with that. If you’ve purchased anything from the store for the old account, it’s not recoverable.
The Minecraft error code “Drowned” appears when a Microsoft account is banned or otherwise restricted from signing into Minecraft. However, the error message provides no meaningful explanation of the actual issue and instead presents a vague, non-descriptive code.
The current error handling creates significant confusion for users because:
The error code name “Drowned” gives no indication that the issue is related to account restrictions or bans.
The error message does not explain what action the user needs to take.
Users are not informed that creating or using a different Microsoft account may be the only resolution.
Suggested Improvement:
Remove the Drowned error entirely or, if there is legitimate reason for this error, replace it with:
A descriptive account-related error message
A support link or documentation reference
Clear guidance on whether the issue is temporary, account-related, or enforcement-related
This would reduce confusion and unnecessary troubleshooting for affected users.
Not just on ipad on tablet too

This is still an issue and seems it’s being ignored. It’s preventing me from doing things with whitelists and on another server preventing plugins from working that request information.
Its because you have the game on Steam and Steam has its own Achievements, if you have the game on the Xbox or the Minecraft Launcher then you would get the Xbox Achievements.
