Minecraft Realms Service Still Having Connection Issues for 30% of Players This Aug. 18
Even after days of work and even a client-side patch, it seems the Minecraft Realms service is still experiencing connection issues for a good chunk of the player base. To its part, Mojang has been working on it, and has made an announcement on the recent developments this August 18.
Minecraft Realms Service Connection Issues Acknowledgement by Mojang for Aug. 18:
Here’s the latest announcement from the studio:
We are still hard at work to bring Realms back online for all players. As of now roughly 70% of players should have access. As part of this work we have had to block traffic to Realms on 1.21.20 on all platforms other than Switch (until Switch gets the hotfix). -DK

On Downdetector, there’s still a significant number of reports incoming today, which means players are still having issues logging in. While the last article we had for it was on August 16, we felt there was enough reports on it to warrant another post about it, and honestly speaking, we assumed that the Realms server outage would be completely resolved by now.
As you can see from Mojang’s announcement, the version 1.21.20 of the game on Realms is being blocked for now, and the Switch will get a hotfix (though not specified whether server-side or a client-side patch).
With about 70% now able to access the servers, it should just be a matter of time until it’s fully resolved. Of course, this is assuming that nothing more breaks. If any other update is shared by the developers, we’ll update the article.
