oh and another thing...when you sign out...if you want to sign in again the sign in button on the bottom left of the homescreen does not work. You can clilck it a million times, it clicks but does absolutely nothing. So you have to close the game down and re-open it to get it to work. grrrrr
Me again - afterthoughts to consider...
IS it because I have a microsoft account and added my son as a child to my family? Should I delete him from my family (not literally) and just have his account totally separate? He's only 7 so I thought this was the best way to set things up. Our micfrosoft and xbox live account are connected as family members.
I have now deleted minecraft from the ipad and now when I load it on my phone, I had to set my avatar up again, but I don't own anything in the marketplace now and when I sign in with my microsoft account I can see the Realm I created and it says I'm the owner. But in the Marletplace there's no Realm downloads available.
When I sign out, lo and behold I'm Steve again and my avatar has disappeared.
-----------------
I'm totally bemused....it really is driving me nuts.
Jarl-Penguin - no cheats are not enabled. As an owner I should be able to type in commands and change time and many more things, but all I get is the chat box to type chats into... When we first started the realm I didn't get the chat box, I was able to type in commands.
