Change Your Realm Worlds

You can change the worlds that are stored on your Realm server whenever you want. Keep in mind that replacing one of the worlds on your Realm server may result in losing progress. If you would like to save your progress, we recommend downloading the world before you replace it with a different world. Do not rely on your Realm’s backups, because they are not retained indefinitely.

Download a world from your Realm

To download a world from one of your Realm’s slots, follow these instructions:

  1. In Minecraft, select Play.
  2. Enter the Realm’s slots screen.
  3. Select the Realm slot with the world you want to download.
  4. Choose Edit World.
  5. Either:
    a) Select Download World if you want to download the most recent version of that world.
    b) Select Backups to see a list of backups for that slot and to download any of them. 
  6. When the download is complete, choose Let's Go!
 
Your downloaded Realm world will now appear in your local worlds list. You can play on this world offline and continue to make progress.
