I had a Minecraft realm that only had 13 Add-Ons and I can no longer download my Minecraft Realm world.
If there is a limit to the number of add-ons that are allowed on a realm, the UI needs to clearly state this. If having third party add-ons cause issues, there needs to be a warning stating such.
I have lost a Minecraft Realm world that had one month of progress due to this error.
I have a realm world that is only one week old, I was able to download a backup of the realm just fine one week ago, now I can no longer do so. I pay $8 each month for the 10 player realm.
I have had this Realms subscription since December last year and I have experienced nothing but issues with this premium paid service.
If Mojang or Microsoft won’t treat this issue with a high priority or at least communicate about addressing this issue I may wind up canceling my Realms subscription and using alternative methods of hosting a Minecraft world. At least if I’m running a Minecraft Bedrock server host on a local machine, I can make backups of a world of any size, with any number of add-ons effortlessly without being unable to with a un-helpful generic “an error occurred” message.
This is the error message I am getting when trying to download a backup
Here are the number of add-ons on a realm world I just created
These two images are the complete add-on loadout list on the realm.
There isn’t a single add-on currently on the realm that isn’t from the Minecraft Marketplace.
Platform: Windows 10 22H2 Pro 64-bit
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2060 12GB
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB SSD System Drive with over 90GB free space & 4TB HHD with over 2TB of free space
World Size on the Realm: 25.08MB
This is still an issue as of 5/11/2025 and has actually gotten worse. There are now multiple users who are paying for this premium service that have made multiple duplicate issues.
In brief:
I created a new Minecraft Realm world, added nothing but Minecraft Marketplace Packs. There are less than 14 add-ons on the realm. The realm is less than 30MB in size. I was able to download backups of this realm with no issue last week, now I can no longer do so. I already lost a world on my Realm that had a month’s worth of work on it.
Seeing as this has been an issue that has not been addressed since 2017 really makes me question if I wish to continue paying for a service that is as non-functional and bug-ridden as it currently is.
