Minecraft is a very popular game which is played by millions of people around the world. It is very interesting and keeps its players entertained with never-ending adventures and quests.

Today, we are going to be talking about Minecraft Realms and how to fix the issues that you may encounter with them. Many users have requested that we talk about these issues:

Minecraft Realms gives players the ability to craft and manage their own private Minecraft servers which are hosted by Majong. For you to be able to use this service, you will need to subscribe. It enables players to create and manage their own servers in a very easy and fast way, without any knowledge of hosting on the internet. There are also lots of minigames your will be able to play while using Minecraft Realms. This platform provides players with already-made world templates and maps. Minecraft Realms were not created for a large amount of people or public servers. It was created so that players can play in small groups with friends and family. This is one of the best additions to the Minecraft game.

For you to be able to run Minecraft Realms on your computer, you need to meet the following requirements:

• You must be an owner of a premium copy of Minecraft and also have a Mojang account
• You must have a stable and good internet connection
• You must be 13 years of age or older to be able to join a Minecraft community

If you meet all the requirements above and you are still encountering issues, then you will need to continue reading to find more solutions to the common problems other users have faced while using Minecraft Realms. We provide a list of these problems so that you can easily find the solution to the problem you are facing.

Can’t log in

Inability to log into your account can be caused by a broad variety of factors. This is common in most games, especially in multiplayer games. What makes it harder to solve is that all the Minecraft accounts are managed by Xbox Live. But we have some solutions for you to try out and see if any of them helps the situation:

•        Make sure your network settings are configured correctly and you have a good internet connection
•        Go to the Xbox Live page and make sure that the live server is online
•        Update your game and server to the latest versions
•        Log out of all your devices and try to sign into your account again
•        Send a report to Minecraft or Xbox Live

Can’t connect to a Minecraft Realm

The online co-op game has been simplified by the introduction of Minecraft Realms. This makes the servers more stable and can support up to 10 players in one realm or world. Players are able to access their realm from other platforms due to the introduction of the cross-platform feature which is always online. However, many users reported that they encounter difficulties trying to connect to the Minecraft Realm. You also need to know that the connection speed of the Realms between individual players, network and computer varies. This may also cause you to experience timeout and connection errors. We are going to give you solutions here which will help you with this problem:

•        Difficulties to connect to a Realm may occur due to the unstable wireless connection. So, we advise players use a LAN or wired internet connection.
•        Also, you will need to check that your internet connection is working properly
•        Make sure that your firewall or antivirus is not slowing down your connection or stopping Minecraft from functioning properly. To let Minecraft Realms through your firewall, you will need to open ports 26000-28000, 80, and 443. You do not need a server IP or hostname. You also need to know that if you are trying to connect to a Realm whose owner is far away from your location, there will be some connection issues and the connection speed will be lower. Minecraft Realms work best when the IP locations are closer together.
•        Sometimes, your Internet Service Provider can limit the connections to some sites which host popular web services like Minecraft Realms. If you are unable to connect to a Realm, you will have to contact your Internet Service Provider for more information about their services.
•        Also, if you get the Invalid session ID error, you will have to log out of your current game and log back in to refresh to session ID.
•        Check for the last time you subscribed, maybe your subscription is finished, and you have to buy a new one. Note that you will not be able to log into your Minecraft Realms account without an active subscription.
•        Make sure that there are no background programs which are hogging your bandwidth. Here is how to disable programs which take up more of your bandwidth:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc on your keyboard to open the Task Manager
2. Navigate to the Processes tab, there you will see the list of all the apps which are running on your computer. Check the column which is named Network to see the programs which use up most of your network. Make sure you disable only a non-Microsoft third-party program. This is because the list also contains services from Microsoft which help your computer to run properly.

Chat issues

Many users also reported that the in-game chat had issues. One of the most frequent complaints was that instead of letters, they saw hash signs when a message was sent to them. This may be related to the word filter which is installed to prevent offensive language. This feature is not functioning correctly, and that is why you are seeing only hashes. Users also complained that writing in non-English languages had issues. All these problems start after the “Better together” update. Here are some of the possible solutions to try:

•        One of the simplest is just to restart your game
•        Try logging out and then in again
•        You can also try to use a different Xbox Live account. It may be that your account is having issues
•        Permissions or restrictions such as parental lock should be disabled to avoid issues
•        Send a report to Majong if none of these helps

Can’t create a free realm

Creating your own unique world and playing online with friends and family is one of the main goals of Minecraft Realms. Majong provides a 30-day free trial for new players who just registered as a marketing strategy and to let new users get to know how the service works and be able to navigate around the game freely. Nonetheless, lots of users reported that they were unable to use the 30-day free trail because of some limitations placed on their Xbox Live account by Microsoft. The users who encountered this problem reported that they had received a message saying that they were unable to run Minecraft Realms due to the way their account was set up, and that they could resolve the problem by visiting Xbox.com to change the settings in their privacy and online safety settings. So, logically you will have to follow the instructions of the message and check your privacy and online safety settings in Xbox.com. Note that if you need parent consent, you will need to acquire it before you can create your own Minecraft Realm.

Game is lagging

Some sections of the Minecraft universe have been noted for lagging and bugging. If you are thinking your computer does not meet the requirements to run this game, unfortunately, you are wrong. Minecraft has very low system requirements, and many outdated computers can run the game without any lags or bugs. Furthermore, it is uncommon to encounter lags in Minecraft because it is hosted on dedicated servers. You will need to check your internet connection and third-party programs that may be hogging your internet and making it slow. Also, you may need to reboot your moderm or contact your Internet Service Provider.
