there is no way in Minecraft for a parent to block sever tab access and still use a realm.
i do not want my child accessing servers but I do want him to use my realm that I pay for. I should have the ability to use a passcode to disable sever tab access in the iOS app.
i have opened a formal complaint with Microsoft security and Microsoft legal on this issue because Mojang is not doing enough to protect children using your app.. This is disturbing.

Jay,
please read carefully what I wrote. I ONLY want my child accessing my realm and no other servers. Mojang needs to add a passcode capability for parents to block access to the Servers tab.
I am well aware of who can join my realm. We only invite people we trust like his friends from elementary school. But general severs have lots of adults and they do things on the servers that i do not want to expose a 7 year old child to. But we want him to enjoy Minecraft with his friends and only his friends. That is why I pay for a realm.
the Xbox account perms do not work correctly since it blocks servers AND realms.
trusting a child to make decisions on which servers they can and can not go to is naive. Kids do things they are told not to.
adding a simple passcode the parent controls solves this problem and this is how many apps restrict functionality they do not want kids to access.
Please note that the bug tracking site is NOT for submitting new feature requests. Please do so using the feedback site.
This isn’t a new feature request it’s a serious child protection bug/defect/oversight and needs to be fixed.
i have contacted Microsoft legal about the issue since it appears Mojang is not interested in doing the right thing. I have telecon with them on thursday.
Thank you for your report!

This is a bug. Ms Xbox live perms do not resolve this issue. If you disable multiplayer access in Xbox live perms it also kills access to realms. That is bug!
and you are putting children at risk but I guess making money is more important than child safety so I will resolve this with microsoft legal and the press.
Im sorry, but child protection request is a feature request as your kid accesing servers are intentional, please post kindly to mojangs feedback website and you might have the feature implemented as an xbox security measure
Also, i dont see why playing servers are a risk to children, just put on a no-chat texture pack or something and your child will not see any bad words or any words even
You are a wrong. This is security issue and it’s bug in the software.
Yet another example of the incompetence of mojang and microsoft.
They have made billions off of Minecraft but fail to protect children from predatory behavior of adults on the various servers. This not just about bad words. It’s about adults and teenagers saying this to kids that is not appropriate.
A simple way to edit the server list and require a pin to access specific servers would easily resolve the problem
This is putting kids at risk. If you don’t understand that then clearly you don’t have kids and you don’t understand the technology.
The software is defective.
If the parent in question is concerned about their child playing on worlds that are not part of the paid realm, they should also be aware that xbox live account players who are your friends may join your game and vis versa if they have been invited by the hosting player. So not sure what type of security the parent is hoping to attain by restricting play from server environments. This sounds like an issue best resolved between the parent and the child.
