Realms currently offers owners no way to respond when someone is abusing their server, and banning alone is weak because attackers just switch to fresh alt accounts.
My suggestion: when a Realm detects abnormal traffic from a connection, notify the owner (in-game and via the Realms settings screen) naming the suspected account, with two one-tap actions: ban the account from the Realm, and report it to Mojang at the same time. A report bundled with the Realm's own traffic evidence would be far more actionable for enforcement than a player writing "I think this person crashed us" with no proof.
Alongside that, give owners opt-in join protections for when they're being targeted: a minimum account age to join, an approval queue for first-time joiners, or a temporary "invited players only" lockdown mode.
Realm owners pay monthly for a product they can't protect. Even if server-side crash fixes take time, these tools would let owners defend themselves in the meantime.
