Solution found: Save world to device, realm renaming in Minecraft Pocket Edition
There is a bug that I found that is causing the following issues:
- Realm title not saving when trying to rename
- "Save world to device" initializes and fails
I performed the following tests on the latest versions of all platforms (iOS, Android, Windows 10)
>> MINECRAFT PE VERSION: 0.15.9
TEST #1
Realm title formatting: Plain text
Current realm title: The 77 Combine
TEST - Renaming realm title : SUCCESS
TEST - Save world to device : N/A - Not available on this version
TEST #2
Realm title formatting: Minecraft font formatting, using special character §
Current realm title: §l§fT§8he §477 §fC§8ombine
TEST - Renaming realm title : FAIL
TEST - Save world to device : N/A - Not available on this version
>> MINECRAFT PE VERSION: 0.16.0
TEST #3
Realm title formatting: Minecraft font formatting, using special character §
Current realm title: §l§fT§8he §477 §fC§8ombine
TEST - Renaming realm title : FAIL
TEST - Save world to device : FAIL
TEST #4 (On another realm subscriber's account)
Realm title formatting: Plain text
Current realm title: My Realm
TEST - Renaming realm title : SUCCESS
TEST - Save world to device : SUCCESS
>>MINECRAFT PE VERSION: 0.16.1
TEST #5
Realm title formatting: Minecraft font formatting, using special character §
Current realm title: §l§fT§8he §477 §fC§8ombine
TEST - Renaming realm title : FAIL
TEST - Save world to device : FAIL
TEST #6 (On another realm subscriber's account)
Realm title formatting: Plain text
Current realm title: My Realm
TEST - Renaming realm title : SUCCESS
TEST - Save world to device : SUCCESS
My conclusion is that the insertion of the character "§" in the realm title will work the first time it is inserted and saved, but locks it and prevents it from being edited afterwards. The world download function seems to be directly related to the same issue.
In other words, changing a realm title from plain text to minecraft font formatting will work the first time you save it. But you cannot rename/download afterwards.
My proposed solution would be to rename all active realm titles to plain text, and prevent the use of the § character in the realm title field in a future update.
If you would please reset my realm name from "§l§fT§8he §477 §fC§8ombine" to "My realm" in plain text, I would be able to re-test both functions and give you additional confirmation that it is indeed the issue.
If you need any information from me in order to locate my realm file on your servers, i'll quickly provide it.
Thank you for your help.
