Social media reactions
Several players also took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their frustration over the outage.
One person wrote, "Minecraft, I'm now demanding you give every realm owner a damn refund for this month! Every week! Every week realms are down and you guys are doing nothing to solve this. You give no response, show no action your trying to fix it. All you do is steal money at this point."
Another added, "The only trap I keep falling for is paying for something that never seems to work. Every time I have a day off work Minecraft bedrock realms is down. Grrr."
