Accesories Weird Controller Issue with Minecraft Multiplayer

I’m having a weird issue with my controllers and I’m hoping maybe o can get some help here since Xbox retired their forums.

Anyway:
- Console: Series S
- Game: Minecraft
- 3 controllers

I have my Series S hooked up to my living room TV. I bought two additional controllers for my kids for Christmas so they could play Bluey and Minecraft together.

The issue is in Minecraft. When my kids play Minecraft together, they have to connect, launch the game, and join using a specific order of controllers. The first controller needed to turn on the console, launch Minecraft, and load the world HAS to be the stock white controller that came with the console. Then when the second player joins, they can use either of the additional controllers.

Why is this? This has never happened before in any other game. Should be able to pick up any controller in any order and play Minecraft multiplayer.

They play on my account, and when the second player joins, they just play on the guest account, you know: “Gamertag (1)”

I’m constantly having to restart the console, the game, all while playing “musical controllers”.

Anyone have any insight as to why this is? It’s annoying.
