After a few months of being on Bedrock edition and a lot of trial and error, I have come to the foregone conclusion that Minecraft Bedrock Edition is absolute garbage.

I really wanted Bedrock to work out. It seemed like the logical next step for TAW moving forward by making it accessible on more devices so we could choose how we wanted to play. I personally don’t enjoy PC gaming the way I used to and I’m sure I’m not alone. Being able to play a bit of TAW in the evenings from the comfort of a playstation controller was a breath of fresh air.

But Microsoft’s Realms “Service” is much worse than I expected it to be. Almost nothing works properly. And I can’t even reliably download backups of the world, which randomly decided to stop working back in late August. So I’ve had enough and I’m pulling the plug on it.

To think that in the past a couple kids could start up their own server hosting service and provide us a better and more reliable service than Microsoft can in 2024.
