World selection in the new Realms Hub

• Added the Minecraft:Realms Hub, which is a central place for the Realm. It replaces Minecraft:Realms Stories and all old settings menus.
  • The "Realms" tab in the Minecraft:Play screen has been updated, and there is now one button to open the Hub.
  • Realms Stories is merged with the Hub. The "Story Feed" tab is available under "Community". The "Timeline" tab is directly under the Realms Hub.
    • Players can notify administrators about story posts. This will add the story to the new "Feed Moderation" screen, where administrators can dismiss it, view notifiers, or delete the post.
    • A new "Admin log" tab is under Story Feed, currently empty.
  • The "Members" tab is also available under Community and has been updated.
    • It now also shows invited members.
    • The list can now be sorted for administrator roles, Minecraft:player permissions, invite status, and a search box.
    • The owner can now remove and block players from this tab.
      • Inviting players is currently still in the old UI.
  • Some screens are still JSON as there is an ongoing migration of UI screens to Ore UI in this area.
  • The new "Worlds" tab allows to select active worlds and open their edit screens. Saves, currently in the old UI, can also be accessed here.
  • The new "Settings" tab allows to manage the Realm name and description, all previous Realms Stories settings, server region and server closing, and the subscription. Members also have the option to leave the Realm here.
  • In the Minecraft:game menu, players can currently still access the old Realms Stories as well as the old Minecraft:settings UI.
• Realms are now supported for parties.
• Added a Realms Admin role. Owners can grant several administrator permissions to members in the Realms Hub in the "Members" tab.

    • Fully manage Realm settings.
    • Add and remove Realm members.
    • Set player permissions.
    • Manage Hub settings.
    • Manage stories and comments.
  • Setting a member to Administrator does not grant them operator gameplay permissions and disable Minecraft:achievements. Changing member roles and managing the subscription remains exclusive to the owner.

Minecraft:Settings

• Added several settings for customizing Minecraft:closed captions:
  • "Hide your sounds", which hides sounds caused by the player.
  • "Hide weather and ambient sounds", hides sounds in the ambient/environment category.
  • "Location of closed captions", select to display in the top-right or bottom-right.
  • "Closed caption duration", adjust the time closed captions are shown between 1 and 4 seconds.
