Minecraft Realms SCAMMED Me...

7 days later, still cant join my realm for more then 30 seconds lol Use code "Epic" here for 25% off hosting - shockbyte.com/partner/themisterepic

Another counterpoint to the “simplicity” is that any family living in a single home has an even simpler and cheaper option: Start a single player world and open to LAN.

I know that you must have already tested all the troubleshooting possibilities, luckily I am a developer and network analyst and after analyzing for a while I came to the conclusion that the problem is that this is bullshit

I believe "RateLimiter Disallowed Request" is due to a rate limit on trying to connect. Limiting join spam makes sense. Forcing you to hit this limit because of shitty hosting that you have to pay for does not.

As someone who managed "desktop" server and LAN worlds i can say that this is not such difficult REAL difficulty is force friends to play yet again

Minecraft realms was just a bait for Mojang to make more money with overpriced prices.

I once had a realm for a group of about 30 players on playstation, at first it was nice and ran well. Towards the end of the server tho the performance kept getting worse and worse. I remember during the last month or so of the few years the server had been on the server would lag real bad with just 3 players online. During peak hours when we had 8-10 people on the server would occasionally crash and overall be unplayable. I dont know if its gotten better or worse since. But one thing i am sure of is im not going back to realms especially after i found a java host thats cheaper and way more capable.

As someone who has owned a realm for over 2 maybe even 3 years now, I would say that all of your points in this video are very correct, and I would love if they made those advanced option changes. Also, on the point about the versions, I'm pretty sure they do let you use not the latest minor version (like 1.20.1 when 1.20.2 is the latest version, but probably not like 1.16.1 when 1.16.2 is the latest version since that actually added stuff), and when you said about having a datapack-like plug-in system, they do let you use datapacks, you just need to create a world with the datapack you want, and then import it in to the realm.

The thing is,for all the cons it has,i would argue that for a small group of friends minehut is a much easier alternative.

The reason they aren't giving users access to change server software is probably because it's against their EULA. Distributing modified server software itself isn't allowed, so why would they even do that?

Dynamic resource allocation is pretty common in cloud computing, and in AWS EC2 developers could integrate this kind of resource/instance scaling into service/apps with relative ease.

When the default friend multiplayer is much better then java's (works almost like LAN but doesn't need to be local at all, free as well)

Realms make a little more sense on bedrock because of how terrible server support is on that version. They are simple and easy to access, and realms you are in appear in the friends tab and so are easy to get into, or if you own a realm it’s pinned above all of the worlds you have

Realms makes more sense for Bedrock because of the policies of Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo making it require troubleshooting to join non featured servers.

The fact that a console isn't even accessible makes even those crappy free server hosting looks good. Like i get trying to make it simple for the less knowing but not even an "advanced" mode is crazy

"Don't make me give you connection issues ... to the Realm of real life." Woah, woah. Easy there, buddy.

Had same issue with joining friends' realms and I would keep getting kicked. Can't remember the specific solution, but try lowering your render distance to reduce how much data is being sent between you and the server. Think it's something about a false positive in a system that prevents spamming the server or whatever.

"playing on the latest version only" This is not a Realms only issue, but a bedrock issue. You cannot choose any version other than the latest with the vanilla bedrock launcher. (if there is one I am not aware of it)

As can be seen from the render distance, the hardware resource allocation per realm is kept pretty much on the low end. There might be a dynamic ram system to accomodate more players for stability, but again, as minimal as possible. And like i saw someone else mention, this is essentially opening SP to LAN where the only control you really have is gamerules - which btw when you really don't have any basic knowledge of server management, won't really get any use out of. And if we're going off of Java base, that money can be instead put into like mentioned in video a host, where you know what you're actually getting, with the optional customizability. On top of that, from what i've seen, most (bigger)hosts have a decent knowledgebase/FAQ section, some even with video instructions, if you'd ever happen to get stuck or would want to change stuff, even if you're a little dumdum in server management department. In conclusion, Realms really has no place in modern Minecraft. When it was announced 10 years ago, it was a nice official and simpler way to host a vanilla server cause back in the day we didn't have all these customization options, but with how big Minecraft is nowadays -all the mods, addons, plugins, different server platforms-, Realms really has turned obsolete nowadays and is sort of a scam with what it actually offers.

TheMisterEpic considering how amazingly meticulous their choice of "official safe minecraft servers" is, you will be waiting a very long time for an update
