Why can't me and my friend play Minecraft together?

One fix is to remove your friend from your friends list and add them back. This works because Minecraft stores friend data on the server, not locally. That's why you'll have the same friends list no matter what device you use to play. Remove your friend from your list, re-add them, and then attempt to join their world.
