I really think the problem is only a problem for all but the first player.
We downloaded a backup of our realm to a my win10 machine and started a local game. The I got son #1 to join from the xbox, take off all his stuff and empty his endercheat into a normal chest. Then he logged out and son #2 was able to do the same so we atheist have all our stuff...
Strangely if either son went into third person view their skin was their skin... but when I viewed them on win10 machine one was Alex and one was Steve.
It really looks like the second player is joining with a new GUID- but the origional GUID still retains the inventory. What is not clear is if this new GUID is constant- I.e. if the player regularly logs in as the second player are they always new, or get the old new (
[media]?) Profile back?
My advice for anyone with a realm is backup, and join the world one by one and stash your stuff in a generic chest. If you do login as a second split screen player never leave anything in your inventory when you leave....
I'm cancelling my realm membership till this is cleaned up- good job both boys are back at school from tomorrow!
I have this same issue - my sons now can't play on our realm on the Xbox using split screen.
Perhaps it's a way for Mojang to sell more copies...😛
It's really not clear. I can't make much pattern from their release cadence for other updates.
However, it does look like they've released a beta for 1.16.230 on 2021-03-25.. which I guess might mean they've base lined 1.16.220 and won't be adding more to it, which might mean it's now pending a full release? I don't know...
All I know is that it's Easter now, my kids are at home, and they can't play split screen on the XBOX still (or, more correctly they can, but only one can save progress....)
I'm really surprised that there hasn't been more from Mojang on this. I reset my expectations for future issues.
