Hi mattie,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your Minecraft realms. This error usually happens when the older version is still cached on your device.

To make sure that what you are experiencing is not related to your device cache, I would recommend that you perform a power cycle. Please note that this is different from a regular restart, Kindly follow the steps below.

1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.

2. Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 50 seconds.

Important: Make sure that you wait at least 50 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

3. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller.

If you don't see the green boot-up animation when the console restarts, repeat these steps. Make sure that you hold the power button until the console completely shuts down.

Important If your console is in Sleep mode, the above steps will shut the console off completely. Sleep mode, or the ability to turn on your console by saying "Xbox on," won't be enabled until you restart the console.

Once done, launch your Minecraft and you should now be able to join Realms.

I want to make sure that you will get all the assistance that you need. If it so happens that you're still experiencing the issue after troubleshooting steps, I recommend that you submit a ticket directly to Minecraft support so you can be guided by Minecraft specialists. In this way, we can be assured that your case will be logged, attended and monitored in a timely manner. Please use this link:

I was playing in the realm with some friends when my battery ran out, I proceeded to connect it and when the laptop was turned on again I had taken out the realm, here everything normal, but the problem is
that it no longer lets me join, the screen appears loading when I join the realm, I literally wait all the time in the world and never load, before it did not exceed 10 sec but I have spent 30 min waiting without result so I restarted the app, the lap, uninstalled
and reinstalled the game and it was still the same, a friend tried to join with my account because we thought it was the lap but it was still the same so I think the problem should be the account, do not change any configuration and the strange thing is that
if you let me join servers but at realm no, I tried to join by the realm code but it remains the same, it has been like this for about 5 days
