Why is there a red dot next to the realm, and only some people can join?

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with a red dot on your Minecraft Realm.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

The red dot next to your Minecraft Realm and the error message about downloading packs indicate issues with the resource packs or server settings.

Please be guided with the following troubleshooting steps:

Make sure that all the texture packs and add-ons you're using are compatible with the current version of Minecraft because an outdated or corrupted packs can cause errors.

And then re-upload the resource packs. Kindly remove the current resource packs from the Realm and re-upload them. Ensure to back up everything before removing it. This can help if the files were corrupted during the initial upload.

Next is to reduce the number of resource packs. If you have multiple resource packs, try reducing the number of packs to see if that resolves the issue because having too many packs can cause download errors.

Then check Internet Connection by making sure that both you and your members have a stable internet connection. Indeed a weak connection can interrupt the download process.

After that is to restart the Realm. Close and reopen the Realm for this can refresh the server and resolve minor glitches.

If the issue persist after performing the troubleshooting steps, kindly clear cache on devices. Please ask your members to clear the cache on their devices. This can help resolve issues with downloading packs.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi Problema con realms,

From the
Minecraft Realms menu within Minecraft, you can view a list of Realms that are available to you. Each Realm that you join first requires an invitation, indicated by the flashing mail icon. Once accepted, that player's Realm will be available to you. Be
sure that you have the latest public release of the game.

A Realm's current status is indicated by the colored dot next to it: green means that the Realm is open and available to join, yellow shows that it expires soon and red indicates that the Realm has expired or has been closed by the owner.

If you're having trouble accepting invites or joining Realms, be sure that you are not using a modded game client, and are not using a resource pack that does not contain textures for the Realm buttons. If you are, switch to the standard Minecraft game
client, click Options, click Resource Packs, then return to the default.

I hope this helps!

Hello,

Some games require you to enable cross-play in

the game settings to be able to do this - this doesn’t

apply to Minecraft though.

You don't need to manually enable cross play for Minecraft Realms as this is already set up, just make sure your son and his friend’s account privacy settings allow them to play online. To adjust these settings, sign in to the Privacy & online safety page.

https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help...e-online-safety-and-privacy-settings-xbox-one

Note: If your son is on a child account, an adult from the same Microsoft family will need to sign in and change these account settings.

To play Minecraft Realms, you need to allow the following settings:

“You can play with people outside of Xbox Live”

“You can create and join clubs”

“You can join multiplayer games”

When adjusting any account settings, make sure to select ‘submit’ to confirm and save these changes.

Set the above settings to allow and your son should be able to play online with friends. Although if you experience any issues with this, here is a multiplayer troubleshooting page:

Minecraft Realms FAQ

In case needed, I’ll leave the instructions to join a Realm below:

To join a Realm on Minecraft, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Realms Menu from the Main Menu

of Minecraft.

2. From the list of Realms available to the player, select

the one they want to join.

3. Once selected, that particular Realm will become

available to the player.

Each Realm that a player joins first requires an invitation, indicated by the flashing mail icon.

A Realm's current status is indicated by the colored

dot next to it: green means that the Realm is open

and available to join, yellow indicates that it expires soon, and red indicates that the Realm has expired or has

been closed by the owner.

Any questions, I’m happy to help!

I would like to know why red dot and grip is better than red dot and the kick weapon perk.
