Hello, we have a 10 year old server. we are very dedicated to it and it has alot of sentimental value. something must have broke, we noticed immediately that time was no longer moving. we closed and reopened the realm. we replaced the current save with an old one. Nothings fixed it. we do not want to activate cheats as we want the get our achievements. Time is stuck in a loop, we dont take fall damage, no drowning, no monsters. Please help us fix it. this has been very upsetting. Im the owner of the realm and i dont use shaders or texture packs but if another member of our server does, will it cause bugs? I hope we can get this repaired. Thank you lots.

Question; are tiles (items) also not dropping? If you kill a chicken, will it drop meat and feathers (XP if survival?)
I’m assuming that since you’ve had this realm for the last couple of years the size of the save file is maybe a little (or a lot) larger than 300mb. From my reading, REALMS can have a hard time with larger save files. You may need to reset the REALM to get this unstuck.
This happened to me the other day and it was beyond frustrating. However, at the cost of a little sanity, I was able to fix it without turning cheats on. Here is what I did to resolve - Proceed with care and caution.
Download a local copy of your REALMS save file.
Minecraft > REALMS > Your REALM > Settings > Manage REALM > Saves > Manual/Automatic > Select Save > Download Save.
Once downloaded, open the local file and play solo. I noticed that the same issues persisted with the local copy. Maybe you will too.
Settings > General: Check to see if “Enable Game Pause” is active. If yes, turn it off.
Settings > Game > World Options: Toggle all options once and then reset them to your preference. For me, the problems were towards the bottom. Mob Loot through Beds Work, but yours can be a little different.
!!! Make sure you don’t activate any Experiments or Cheats. I did not need to go down that far. I was able to unlock my game with only toggling the options Friendly Fire to Immediate Re-spawn.
Once the settings are saved, return to the local game and stare at the sun. Mine was stuck at about 11 o’clock. I noticed immediately that the sun was ticking as it should. I killed a chicken and it dropped my XP, meat and feathers.
Last, check the achievements portal to ensure your world is still intact.
If you’re still tracking and everything has worked up to this point, now proceed to editing the REALM itself. I had to delete all my slots to proceed - so make sure the previous local save file is stored safely.
Minecraft > REALMS: Select your REALM.
Selected REALM > Settings (Edit “ {REALM}
”): Select your slot (or slots).
Slot > Game Settings: Upload World (at the bottom).
Select your local safe file and upload (could take a moment).
Once uploaded, activate slot and proceed to playing on REALM.
Hopefully, this helps unblock you. Some gotchas listed below.
I noticed the issue on my Switch and the proceeded to see if the issue persisted on my phone (it did). However, I also attempted to do the following on these devices as well. I got stuck with multiple game crashes after downloading (IMO) the corrupted REALM safe file. I had to resolve this issue on my PC.
If you have multiple slots in your REALM, make sure to backup and delete those as well.
Make sure all copies of the game are using the latest (or same version of the game). Uninstall and reinstall if you have to.
I do not have any resource and behavior packs, but others mentioned the need to turn these off and remove them from the REALM (if possible).
In a few other tickets, some have mentioned that you may need to upload the safe file “multiple times” though this was not my experience.
I wish you all the best and good luck!
