Quick summary first:
Since the update to Minecraft Bedrock 26.40 I cannot join about half of my worlds anymore. As soon as the loading screen is almost finished, I get error code "Block" and am kicked out. The exact same thing happens when I upload those worlds to my Realm "VoidCraft". New worlds work fine, but all existing old worlds and even old backups of them are affected.
Hello team,
I want to summarize my issue completely because the situation is absolutely terrible right now.
Since the update to Bedrock 26.40, neither I nor any other player on our Realm "VoidCraft" are able to join existing worlds. The loading screen gets to almost the end and then we immediately get the error code "Block" and are kicked out. Creating a completely new world on the same Realm works fine.
But the problem is not only with Realms. I tested further: About half of all my local worlds have the exact same "Block" error. All backups of those worlds are also affected, even backups that are 6 months old. The worlds are still there and not deleted, but I simply cannot access them anymore.
Important: If I enable "Reset Player Data" during export, I can export and re-import the world. But as soon as I try to join that re-imported world, the same error happens again. Also every time I cancel the error I briefly see "Syncing World Data" and often "Error, Syncing World Data failed".
This is especially critical for us because a lot of work and progress from many players is in those old worlds. Starting a new world is not an option because everyone would lose everything they built. We want to be able to keep a world running long term.
Before 26.40 everything worked perfectly. Since the update the Realm has been completely unplayable for us. We have already tried everything listed on minecraft help for error code "Block": restarting the Realm, loading backups, and reinstalling Minecraft. Nothing worked. And it doesn't just affect me - no player at all can join.
I am paying for this Realm and there are a lot of people on it. The members list even says "This Realm is too popular to show all members". I urgently ask for this bug to be fixed, because the worlds are currently completely unusable.

My realm is having the exact same issue. Ever since the update I just get the same error code and can’t access the world on my realm or even old downloaded copies. It is a 6.5 year world with a lot of progress. I have submitted multiple tickets with no response. We can’t play the world we have worked so long on, no matter on realms or locally. All troubleshooting tips mentioned we have tried as well. Please help us restore this by fixing this bug!
I’m having the same issue! My world is 10 years old and my realm is played regularly by dozens of players from across the world. Ever since the uppdate on August 4th, nobody can join. I have tried everything, and I mean everything. It is unacceptable that they would not grant priority to this issue despite Realms being a paying subscription.
I have the same problem. No matter what I do nothing is working. No add ons or crazy skins. Just normal minecraft and after the August 2026 update it doesn't work.
Sorry, it's me again; I forgot to upload a photo.
