Realms Servers performance and features

under review

There is nothing more frustrating than the constant block lag that plagues bedrock realms servers, it makes high level efficiency equipment downright useless.

 

Besides the realms servers very frequently having slight lag for blocks it would be really nice for both versions to have the same mechanics.

The game still feels like it has a long way to go before it feels like the Java version, little things like mob spawning feeling significantly lower, no debug screen, different redstone than java, make the game feel awfully different and an overall worse experience. Having no coordinates without cheats is by far the biggest issue as it is such a crucial part of the game.

 

I understand features are being ported over, but I am worried that a lot of key features and builds will not ever be possible on bedrock edition. I've looked into videos and even some mob farms are downright impossible to make, it makes the overall appeal of the game far lower.

    Agreed.  In addition or in lieu of worrying about this, at least release the Dedicated Bedrock Server please so the community can host their own and tune performance themselves!

    I have enjoyed using the realm until the last month.  There is so much lag I am literally unable to use the realm at all.  If not fixed, I will be forced to cancel my subscription.

    Most are old issues
    However the lag is ridiculously non functioning at points when full and with people reasonably distant from each other and spawn
    With some biomes very far away you have to travel

    The point of Minecraft bedrock edition is that we can play multiplayer across platforms and having laggy realms makes multiplayer suck anyway, I agree with making realms less laggy

    I agree. I will never renew my subscription until basic mob spawners work. When a spawner that works perfectly outside of my realm fails entirely inside the realm I lose all motivation to utilize this broken service.

    Performance enhancements would be nice, since the aquatic update the realms have been really laggy and buggy!! I couldn't agree more!

    Especially for a paid service, this is unacceptable!

    Totally agreed. Im a PC and Console gamer, but Minecraft is a GREAT console game. I feel left out when i want to build VERY complex Redstone builds and cant on console. I really don't want to sit at a PC to play this...

    Some of the features i would like to see added to Realms for owners are better player membership controls, player logging, Spawn area options, better world switching/uploading and a Multiworld swap like java used to have.

        Player membership controls- When populating a Realm or server it would be nice to have more control over those new trial players. On several occasions hackers and griefers join just to create chaos, so introducing a probationary membership could help Owners and Admins manage these players with ease. The settings for the realm can be changed from "no one can do anything" to "everyone is op", but this is way to broad. Id like it broken down a bit more and on an individual basis. Promoting someone to Admin without cheats or having no achievments, is pointless. Setting up an ituitive player management system will greatly improve the value of owning a Realm.

     

        Admin Commands- Things such as /kick, /freeze player, /ban, /tempban, /logplayer, /tp, /fly /invisible, etc could really help manage a community. These are just a few basic ideas. Main point, we need more control over settings regarding our chosen server staff.

         Player Logging- Simple enough. Log join and exit times, placement of TNT, Lava and other such griefing materials. Also detecting if block reach is beyond game basics and alerts for hackers.

         Spawn area options- Sometimes you spend weeks making spawn just right, and in 5 minutes its burning to the ground. Spawn should have a specific radius that owners can change gamerules without cheating. Things like tnt and creepers exploding, fire tick and even who can place and break blocks in spawn. This would be way easier than trying to upload a backup on slow connections.

    Bedrock realms Player activity and other administrative features; the current situation

    Hey all,

    I see this as currently one of the greatest flaws in realm hosting on the Bedrock edition of Minecraft; lacking administrative features for realm owners, as well as plugins/addons in general! What I'd like to make this post for, is to help other realm owners, as well as players, help get the message across to Mojang that this is what collectively is needed to bring the Bedrock platform forward! Realms player activity, enhanced administrative features! NOT just some cheap "realms plus" marketplace content.
    I've gone ahead and have made a list of some posts on the official feedback website which I encourage you check out to help make this noticed:

    Making these changes to the Bedrock realms would vastly improve the platform ability to facilitate smp's and communities to grow, and for owners to be in control of their realm. Not just that, but it helps the plugins and other player made features to be easily implemented to realms.

    Thanks for your time reading this post. I hope it isn't taken as advertisement, because its a topic I genuinely think needs to be talked about more when mc realms come to mind.

    i'd love to see the servers get custom enchants, easier backup making and multiple worlds such as lobbies, and a way to ban people ive had someone come on every night at 1-2 am for a couple of months, and grief using cheats and all i could do is reload to when ever i last made a backup (usually 2-3 hours before) still i don't like the fact that I have to babysit the server i understand having to maintain it but i built the server i should at least have a say who can go on such as a blacklist being added (blacklists are the opposite of whitelists) or what ever is on java. i hope the Mojang team can fix some of these issues

    for 8 bucks a month i expect there to be far less issues with straight up connecting to my realm. this service has been unable to operate 6 days out of this month alone. we are paying for a premium here that has so far been a complete shambles. get your shit together majong. you like all the microtransactional bullshit right? So at the very least make sure your service works.

    I have had realms for several months now. It's been a great way to stay connected with my friends during this stressful time. I have ran 2 different worlds on my realm, the first reached nearly 400gb with only issues of lag happening when there was large amounts of mobs. I'm now a little over a week in to a new world & the lag over the last couple days has been terrible! Why don't I have an option to reboot the realm to improve connectivity? Or something I could do as the admin to fix the lag? This is a major issue for me & my group of friends. We may just go back to regular minecraft if this amount of lag continues.

    I don't understand how the realms on Bedrock are so bad, like its only 10 or 11 players come on! Java can seamlessly run a server with thousands of players, but these stupid wimp ass bedrock servers and especially realms practically have a siesure when u try to even eat something. Mojang i ask for the entire bedrock community and for all that is holy, PLEASE fix bedrock multiplayer realms!!!

    Hi I agree; I have Java tried Bedrock and hated it pretty quickly back to Java and happy for it. But Java Realms has serious issues so no platform is perfect.

    I just got this on the 30 day trial on PS4, but due to the lag, constant crashing and losing connection I will not be keeping the subscription until these issues are fixed. I haven't even tried this with anyone other than my daughter as I fear it will lag and crash even worse. If these things can be sorted out I might consider purchasing this in the future.

    i agree, bedrock realm lag is ruining the experience. although, you can turn on coords without cheats on. just go to settings (either in game or world list), select game, and scroll to show coordinates

    Yeah I experience the same issue.
