This happened to me, you can simply rejoin and your friend will be online and will be able to join your party.

Have a good day!

This happens to me. I have a video clip if that helps.

My friend invites me to a party, I receive the notification and go on the /p page but there is no invite there. I go on my friends list and he isn’t online though he actually is. I re-log and that doesn’t fix it but if he re-logs, then I start seeing he’s online

Hi! I am having the same problem.

I am playing the hive from Nintendo switch, both my friends couldn’t see that I was online. One was playing from their switch the other was on ps4. We could not join a party.

We tried logging off and back in and that did not fix the problem. One of us would always showing offline even though we were there.

Other server parties work fine. Please fix this bug!

This happened to me also. The best thing you can do to fix it is restart your launcher, client or game entirely

Happened on playstation

This has happened to me on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, samsung galaxy S6 tablet and xbox series s. To fix this you can leave and rejoin Hive, sometimes you may have to restart minecraft entirely.

Issue is still occuring

Maybe I won’t be really useful but my and friend we have experienced it a lot of times in past. Now from a month we didn’t see it anymore.

Online-Offline Bug

So this is all I know about.

  • This bug usually afflict players logging in about the same time.

Now I’ll use some examples. [Player1] is the “bugged” player and [Player2] is “normal”.

  • [Player1] can’t see [Player2] online but [Player2] can.

  • [Player1] can’t send party invites to [Player2] but [Player2] can.

  • If [Player2] invite [Player1], they can’t still accept the party 'cause their game says [Player2] is offline for some reason.

  • To solve the problem (as players), [Player2] must exit and re-enter The Hive.
    Doing this in [Player1] game will appear the message saying “[Player2] has gone offline”.
    The strange thing is that [Player1] game said [Player2] was already offline!

  • When [Player2] come back the online messagge will appear: “[Player2] has come online.

I really hope it helps!
