So I own the game and I'm paying for a realm but I cant play without game pass. Not sure why I can't play a game I've bought and I'm paying for realms it makes no sense

Minecraft Realms and X-Box Gamepass are two different things, you will need both in order to access Minecraft Realms and access X-Box online to play online with friends.
So I went onto my pc and onto the xbox app and went to minecraft to play on my realm and I can play on it there without game pass so this is clearly a bug
Hello, X-Box consoles require an online membership subscription in order to play online. Minecraft on PC does not require this, as it is a PC application. I believe this is your issue and you may have to purchase X-Box online. Can you join servers on your X-Box currently?
I can play online games on all my other games and I can play on my non realm games but I can not play on my realm
Console manufacturers require all paid games to require players to have an online subscription in order to play multiplayer on console. Free to play games (like Fortnite, etc) have an exemption from this rule, but Minecraft is not free to play, so it does not. This is not a bug sadly, but a requirement of all console manufacturers (Xbox, Sony, Nintendo).
