Some marketplace texture packs have no effect when added to Realm.

I have 2 texture packs on a realm. One only has a few different textures that I like more than the other. The other texture pack is the city texture pack. For some reason the city texture pack ignores the load order for the texture packs and puts the other texture pack does not show up. This only happens on the realm though, when I download the world to any system(pc or console), it reverts back to the way it should look, a hybrid of the two texture packs. This just happened on September 3, up until then it worked totally fine. It's not a big issue, but it really ruins how many of our builds on the world look.

*Update on this issue by [~Auldrick]*

This problem seems to have gone away for at least some people, which suggests that it was a problem with outdated Marketplace packs being accessed by Realms, rather than a bug in the game. Apparently those packs have now been updated in the Store, fixing the problem.

If you are still having this problem, please be sure to comment below ASAP so that we can keep this ticket open. Otherwise, we'll assume there is no bug and close this ticket.

*Steps to Reproduce (by [~Auldrick])*

Note: You must own a license for a Minecraft-branded texture pack in the Marketplace to perform these steps.

  1. Upload a world with no texture packs activated to Realms. (It also works to upload a world with a Minecraft-branded texture pack applied, in which case skip the next step.)

  2. In the Realms world settings, go to Resource Packs and activate a Minecraft-branded texture pack.

  3. Open the Realm.

Expected results:
The texture pack is activated and changes the look of the world.

Actual results:
The texture pack has no effect.

*Affected Texture Packs:*

This bug seems to only affect certain Minecraft-branded texture packs downloaded from the Marketplace and used in a Realms server. Packs reportedly having this problem are:

  • City Texture Pack

  • Natural Texture Pack

  • Fantasy Texture Pack

  • Skyrim Mash-Up Pack

  • Norse Mythology Mash-Up Pack

  • Super Cute Texture Pack

  • Cartoon Textures

A few Minecraft-branded packs seem to not be affected:

  • Greek Mythology Mash-up Pack

  • Deep Sea Mash-up Pack

Experiments suggest that most non-Marketplace packs are not affected, however there is one report that contradicts this.

Please comment below with additional Marketplace packs that have the problem, or if you find that those listed above as being unaffected are, in fact, affected on your Realm. Comments reporting affected non-Marketplace packs are also welcome, but please don't report about a non-Marketplace pack that does work at this time (because for now we're assuming those work correctly).

same here.   it uses only the marketplace textures. 

 

Confirmed. This seems to be happening only with Minecraft-branded texture packs activated on Realms. On the other hand, the Lithos HD Texture Pack provided by Realms Plus works fine, even when I combine it with City and Natural (with Lithos in the middle). I have also successfully added non-Marketplace third party resource packs.

If you download a Realm that had one of these packs activated and open the downloaded copy, the pack works fine, so the problem is only in how Realms is loading resource packs.

There are additional related reports that attempting to modify resource packs in the Realms settings fails when the game tries to upload packs to the Realms server, going into a loop and not letting you exit to the menu.

It has also been reported in conjunction with changing resource packs that it becomes impossible to upload, download, reset, or replace the world in Realms.

These issues may result from the same bug, or they may not, we don't know yet.

FYI Greek Mythology Mash-up DOES work on Realms. So it isn't all Minecraft created packs. I did notice right before this happened, Norse Mythology wanted to do an update, and once it did, I could no longer use it on Realms.

Hi!

I have exactly the same issue with Chroma-Hills HD > I created my own mini texture pack to change some blocks and items textures of the C-H pack, but since a few days, this mini texture pack is not working any more on my realm. Otherwise when I try on a simple map offline, all is OK....... I tried many things but no results... that's weird and very annoying, because many builds of our community were made with my own-created textures...

If anybody else still has a problem with resource packs not working on Realms, please review my comment above and see if you can adapt the workaround for your case. Whether it solves your problem or it doesn't, please comment to let us know what packs you had a problem with and what the outcome was. Thank you!

Since there have been no more comments, even to say that the problem is still occurring in newer updates, I'm going to close this report as Fixed. The actual fix was applied directly to the Realms servers and wasn't separately distributed to users, so we have no fix release.

Hello, I ran into this issue with the Medieval Texture Pack on my Realm.  I tried the work around and it didn't seem to change anything.

Hey there! I am currently having the exact issue also with Chroma Hills which stopped working a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the workaround doesn't work for me after accurately following the steps a bunch of times.

Alexander Klaus

@Auldrick I have been programming for 3 weeks and it is quite annoying not to be able to upload it to my realm after everything I went through. As you @Auldrick are the only one I came across, understanding the issue, I would be more than happy to be able to contact you and talk about possible solutions.
