for those just trying to download your realm to upload as a backup id say give up until someone posts that this issue is fixed because its years old now and still hasn't been replied to recently

why hasn't this been fixed yet i'm seeing a lot of people that are paying other companies money that Mojang could be making through realms but is instead being lost to external servers which are cheaper easy to use and much more reliable
i myself used to pay for realms but since this issue first effected me and 50 other people that would play on it was never addressed of fixed i gave up trying to look at mojang for support i look to my server host of choice (eg hostinger or shockbyte for example) and they get back to me within a few hours-max 24 hours and instead of costing the realms subscription price i now pay £18 every 3 months with much higher admin support less lag for my global players and more slots for players to be on at the same time (if i matched realms player list it would be £4.50 every 3 months

I've only managed to reupload a previous save not a new non backup one but the steps I took to upload the realm backup are as follows
1
make a save of your realm by downloading the most recent backup
2
open that save to make sure it works as it should as a world eg it opens for a start
3
reset realm (caution make sure you don't skip steps 1 and 2or you will replace your realm with a brand new random seed)
4
join new reset empty realm to again make sure it all loads in (I did a slow 360 turn on the spot)
5
save and exit and then upload the most recent backup before the reset (it should be clear as the sizes will be different eg min is a 1.4-1.7gb world so easy to spot after 0-0.50mb reset)
the only thing this changed for me is the difficulty was stuck on peaceful and now its stuck on normal so I am not entirely happy about it

is this true, why is this not being fixed I'm cancelling my subscription so I can wait for it to run out so I can try refreshing the realm it that way but this needs fixing, its bad enough that realm owners don't have the ability to use certain commands to rectify certain other issues such as difficulty but not being able to change difficulty at all or replace the world with a like for like replacement is making vanilla survival really boring really fast and people are stopping playing as days pass

still having this issue even into 1.16.221 update

I am having to run my realm as a world 24 hours right now because I still cant fix this issue due to the other bug of not being able to upload realms with the message lack of space/check internet or blank no progress with only the option to wait for the rest of eternity for ultimately nothing to happen or cancel and try again. I specifically just upgraded my home Wi-Fi network to see if the issue was my end or yours and its most certainly an issue in the game not with me internet connection
please fix this issue I cant afford to run hardware 24/7 but have no choice until this is fixed

I'd like to add this issue to my realms issue of not being able to change difficulty as this is part of the fix I have been told to do and this issue is now stopping the fix from working
