Realms are already a substandard experience with simulation distance locked at 4 chunks. This is a paid service, we should be getting a better experience than people who don't pay not a worse one. Both harvesting and placing blocks has to be redone again and again. The lag is unforgivably bad. I don't want to cancel service if I don't have to. But this is terrible and has been for far too long. Please make this right. My family all enjoy Minecraft, please help us enjoy the Realms service.

Still a thing on 1.16.201 when writing on signs and also lag in general. The text takes like half a second to show up on the sign after you write it

Well Well... We are at the point of completely losing it with Realms. We are a total of 7 players. Al working separate hours. We are never more than 5 people online at once. We try to be lag friendly in our realms, we have dedicated industrial areas, and we don't use them, we only AFK there in intervals when there is no players online and only use it one player at a time. We are currently not even able to connect to the realms, ever since the 1.16 update, we have had connection issues, SERIOUS lags. I personally have lost all my gear about 4 times now, due to flying with my elytra, then my world does not render, and then boom, my inventory shoots out, and I get the notification of dying, then I get thrown back to my last reset point, but with this AWFUL lag, by the time you get back to where you died, everything has despawned. When we get disconnected we get a roll back with anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes, this happened once, just when I got my Elytra in the end, I was still flying then all of a sudden, disconnect, when we eventually could get in, I was at the bottom of the temple getting shot at by al the shulkers in the bottom of the temple. It has gotten to the point, that we are playing in private worlds, just to still enjoy some of the game, but noooowww, we can't even connect to the realm, internet is working 100%, system requirements are on point, and all we are getting back from the realm is . Unable to connect to world, please check your internet connection and try again... I mean really... And we 4 players who tested this in different parts of the country with different service providers, and still to NO avail. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also experiencing lag and disconnect issues. When a disconnect happens, the progress made for, give or take, 5 - 10 minutes is also lost. This is an issue that should be get priority number one! You guys offer realms, servers for people to play on, and you should be able to keep those servers up and running for your own game. At least give notice to this issue or shut the servers down for a day so you could fix this.

This is getting frustrating..

After all these months still no fix?  All they fix was map frame lag. Yet it's gotten worse every update. Now it lags before 1gb. Why? Im just not happy with realms. Infact, im angry at mojang for fixing this. This bug report was around over a year) not found. And no major fix? As i said ever update it's getting worse. Whats next? Lag everytime you reset a realm) not found.?!

We've just started our subscription and if this is how the performance is going to be we'll likely change to a third-party server. The game is unplayable at times, even for a single player, while at other times it seems to perform reasonably well. At worst, you can't do anything for the constant Java errors about the remote side forcing a disconnect and all changes reverting constantly, until you get booted that is. we've tried playing on 5 different ISPs at all times of the day and on 4 different computers - no change in the performance. They either are not assigning enough resources to the virtual servers or not enough bandwidth. Either way, not a good first time experience.

Similar lag on my Realm, playing from Belgium.
Lag started a couple of hours before the current hotfix (v1.16.1).
Not only when playing with two or more players and not local since everybody experiences it, even when playing alone on the realm.

Yea i agree. My realm was laggy at 2gb. Even without mods. It still lags

Here in Brazil I´m having the same issue. I´m also experiencing all 4 lag issues listed on the description but also one more: when writing on signs the text have a 0.5 second delay to show up on the placed sign (even tho on the sign UI it shows instantly like the normal game).
