Minecraft World won't upload to Realm. (Nintendo Switch)

SonicFazbear · Aug 1, 2020

Hello. I just purchased Minecraft Realms Plus. Everything worked fine except for when I try to upload a world to my realm. When I click "play on realm" It says "export in progress" then "initializing world" than a text box pops up saying "an error occurred."
I've tried uploading my world multiple times using "Replace world" and "play on Realm". I've also tried uploading a world from my PC to see if it works and it works just fine. I bought realms for 8 bucks and I can't even use it. Is there a fix? I also noticed
that a lot of other people are having this problem as well, and it seems to be happening only on Nintendo Switch. Thanks!

Hi Sonic,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We see you have an issue with realms. Unfortunately, you will need to post on the
Minecraft forums or reach out to
Mojang support. As we do not have the tools or information for Nintendo.

Thanks,

Hello to all who read this,

I tried to ask both companies and the long and short of it is they dont know why this is still happening. This issue has been around for over a year now and the game already received a patch in an attempt to fix the problem which was/still is a connectivity
issue.

To anyone reading this now who has the same issue just keep trying. Go to a friend who has high speed or try resetting the console/PC. I'm sorry I dont have anything new.

* I lied. Heres something newish. I just got my 34.38MB world to upload. I set a timer and my switch took about half an hour to upload. The first 20 attempts failed but somewhat between then and I lost count it worked! Keep trying fellow minecraftians!

...we have now started fresh with a new world in minecraft on the ipad. However, i still cannot access this new world on the nintendo switch minecraft

Minecraft doesn't store the worlds "in the cloud" so that multiple devices can access one world.

If you have a world stored on your iPad, the Switch will NOT automatically have the world, even if you use the same Microsoft Account.

Your son can either "visit" the world on the iPad with the Switch, while the iPad is running Minecraft at that time through Multiplayer.

If you really want to have the world shared across both devices, your only option is to "rent" a realm that you have to pay for in monthly subscription fees.

Or if your son is okay with transferring the world from one device (e.g. iPad to the Switch and only play on the Switch from then on), you could use a free trial for Realms to transfer the world over.

To do that, your son activates a Realm subscription with a free trial on iOS, and uploads the desired world to the Realm service.

Then he connects the Switch to the same Realm, and downloads the world to his Switch.

Then you cancel the Realm subscription via

Have you an active Nintendo Switch Online Subscription? I ask this because I found the following Q/A on Minecraft Nintendo Switch FAQ:

Can I play Realms on this edition?

Yes, Realms is available on the Bedrock edition of Minecraft for Nintendo Switch. To play online on a Nintendo Switch, you need to have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, so this is a requirement for playing on Realms. More information about Nintendo Switch Online can be found here.

Furthermore, can you post the entire error message (better a screenshot/photo)?
