[REALMS-2108] Behavior Packs not working on Realms

After uploading a world to a realm while a behavior pack is attached, the behavior pack fails to do anything once the realm is open.

I've created my own behavior pack which adds a few custom blocks, a few custom items, and an ever growing list of recipes. I've made sure the behavior pack functions properly on normal worlds before trying to upload it to the realm. I've also updated all of the manifests to have new UUIDs as well as the actual behavior pack version. The resource pack is attached through the manifests dependencies and also has new UUIDs and updated versions. This is all being used for an adventure world I'm co-creating with my girlfriend. It needs to work on the realm in order for her to use the behavior pack since she can only play on her Xbox.

Once logged into the realm, none of the blocks or items appear in the crafting menu or the commands list. The recipes also cease to exist. I've gone as far as adding the behavior pack directly to the world file and still nothing works. I also want to throw out a little fact that I found concerning. When using the behavior pack on normal worlds, I'm prompted with a notification asking if I'm ok with the behavior pack running scripts on my device. This is fine, if I had added scripts, but I've done no such thing, so why is it prompting me with this? It also did the same thing on the realm when I added the behavior pack to the world files but the behavior pack still didn't work on the realm. This same issue made it impossible for my girlfriend to join the realm until I pulled the world down and removed the behavior pack before re-uploading it to the realm.

This appears to be an old issue and is either classified as "resolved" which it isn't, or is unacknowledged. This is an example of what I'm referring to: REALMS-1878

I'm aware of the fact that you guys don't like us creating new tickets for bugs that have already been reported, but I'm not afraid to make a lot of noise if it means I get some acknowledgement. So you can expect a new ticket for this same issue once a week until the end of august. If I haven't received some kind of acceptable answer by then I'll start making new tickets twice a week. And all you have to say is "we're working on it". And preferably include an approximate resolution date. I've included my behavior pack and resource pack for reference. These are still in development, but are problem free.

I can second this one. Just tried uploading a world to my Realm with a very small behavior and resource pack, and none of the packs are getting uploaded. My custom recipes aren't showing up, nor are my custom items. Supposedly this was fixed back in 1.8, but I guess it either cropped back up, or it was never truly fully fixed. It'd be awesome if it could be, though, cause that's the only way I'm getting my packs over to the Switch.

I'm also having this issue. Custom recipes are not working, but the vein miner behavior pack we're using is working. This is pretty annoying and you'd think that we'd at least get some answer considering we're paying these guys monthly for a service that is not working as advertised.

Ditto, three of us posted the bug in one day, time to make some noise fellas! Vote up each others posts, add watch, and hopefully we can have them tackle this quick.

I'm using a ton of behaviors and resource packs in a hard mode survival map my friends and I are trying to make, everything works in a normal map, upload to realms and to realize I'm wasting a ton of time on something that should be seemless to implement.

I still having this issue in Bedrock 1.13.1

migrated 2019-11-16T23:59:45Z

I am having this issue as well on bedrock 1.13.2, it'd be nice if we could have some info about it..

I have been attempting this for the last couple days with a very small change that makes ores more visible for my wife. Each and every time I have tried it simply doesn't work. For whatever reason I don't understand. She has to play on the xbox using the TV because her eyes aren't that good so it'd be nice to make minecraft more accessible for her.

In general, anything that requires the "Experimental gameplay" toggle to be turned on is currently not supported on Realms. We'll let you know when we add Experimental gameplay support to Realms.

After contacting Mojang via https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/requests/new, I received a response on November 28 stating that "Minecraft Realms does currently support experimental features", yet you are saying that these features are not supported. Even knowing that it would take weeks to get a response, I put in a ticket because I could never find a definite answer on whether or not experimental gameplay was supported (I put the ticket in on October 31). [^[Microsoft (Minecraft)] Re_ Your Minecraft Question.eml]

So the question remains, does Minecraft Realms support Experimental Gameplay?

migrated 2019-12-15T19:37:44Z

Yes I have the same isue and it has nosense because I can use experimental gameplay(for example the structure block) but I can't use addons or any behaviour pack

Please Mojand do something!

I'm having this problem even in 1.14.60 the pack just goes missing almost every single time. But I have had a little bit of success in the most current update, behavior packa kind of work. By that I mean I got one to work for a few minutes but then guess what? Half of what the behavior pack does doesn't not work. I was using a pack called real-light at the most recent version (as of me posting this) that makes light blocks or things that should provide light to emit light while holding it in your hand. The holding in your hand part works but the second you switch off of the item, the light does not disspear. I used this pack in local worlds and it works just fine and it says it even supports multiplayer. So I so I don't know why it doesn't work it has no errors when you go to storage and check it for errors. Also more advanced behavior packs do not work like chisel which should work fine because it doesn't have any scripts in it. (I have no idea why scripting isn't supported on consel.) (Chisel also is in a similar boat as real-light but it doesn't work at all on realms).

@Levi
The main issue seems to stem from the fact that realms doesn't support custom recipes. The reason that it's an big issue is that addons are advertised as working with Realms, with no disclaimer stating that X, Y, and Z modifications don't work, when it's obvious that they don't.

CornerHard 2020-04-24T19:06:42Z

We have a likely fix for this coming in the Nether Update

migrated 2020-06-06T02:59:11Z

@CornerHard

Is that confirmed, and can I find the confirmation from Mojang anywhere? If we can get experimental (or at least custom recipes / items) in realms, that would revolutionize the game. It's a very much wanted feature and this "experimental" tag is the only thing preventing it, I'd like to know.

migrated 2020-06-06T15:02:44Z

@ Adam G.

That would explain why Behavior packs haven't worked on my realm since I always play with experimental game play turned on.

migrated 2020-06-15T23:16:23Z

My report was tagged as a duplicate of this and I disagree. My mod does not use experimental game play where the problem above is directly related to experimental game play.

migrated 2020-06-19T09:10:47Z

@Thomas Prindeville

It's from the same 'category' nonetheless.

migrated 2020-07-09T19:07:45Z

My issue got marked as a duplicate of this though it is clearly not. Mine didn't even include experimental features.

Nether update is out...is this fixed?

[Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay) 2020-08-04T15:26:33Z

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been temporarily closed as Awaiting Response

Thanks for your patience while we continue to look into this. Could you please confirm whether the issue is still an issue in the latest available version? If so, could you please provide a copy of the add-on, and mention whether it requires Experimental Gameplay features or not? (We will look into either, having both might be useful though.)
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

Hello, hi have the same problem.

Behavior work locally but does not work on realm. They are correctly listed as active but nothing happens. I tried also to update: uuid, versionm download, upload and so on but nothing appended.

migrated 2020-09-12T23:46:53Z

Out of nowhere suddenly our realm won't load the resource pack. Please fix.

migrated 2021-01-09T14:54:06Z

If you want your behaviour pack to work make sure that it's compatible with the newest version of Minecraft (1.16.4). If this doesn't work Mojang can't do anything since they didn't encode this product (It's from the Minecraft Marketplace).

migrated 2021-02-06T21:40:50Z

just for some more info. this bug seems to be somewhat random. i have 2 realms and on one all my packs work perfectly fine. and the other will not add anything no matter how many tries. (this is in 1.16.201)

migrated 2021-05-25T15:23:21Z

I might have some more info on what's going on. I've been creating a normal world with a behaviour pack and then using the "replace world" feature. Doing this with one pack works completely fine, but doing the same with another (admittedly more complicated) one says "an error occurred" when I try to import the world.

Since I was able to create a realm with the first pack, I then tried editing the realm settings to put the second pack on. This allowed me to load the world, but still had the first behaviour pack and not the second one enabled (even though I had disabled the first pack in the realm settings). So on top of some packs not working, it seems like changing the pack after creating a realm doesn't do anything, which would explain the lack of items, recipes, etc. other people have experiencing.

This may have already been common knowledge, but I figured I'd share just in case it isn't. Hopefully this gets fixed soon!

Still happening in 1.17.34 even with experimental features off.

CornerHard 2023-04-15T03:39:27Z

We confirmed this in 1.19.73

DLon King 2024-12-02T19:37:22Z

We found that the issue here was when a world was uploaded with zipped packs loaded within the packs folders. We updated our service to properly handle the zipped sub folders, so this should now be working properly as of today.
