Realms Stories is a social hub for members of a Realm, where players can comment, share Minecraft:screenshots, and view player activity. Realms Stories includes all Minecraft:social tabs in the Realms Hub, accessible from the Minecraft:play screen, which are also accessible in the game menu.
Usage
Features from Realms Stories are available for all players that are member of a Minecraft:Realm in Minecraft:Bedrock Edition, for both Realms Plus and Realms Core subscriptions. The Realms Hub can be accessed from the main screen of the Realm in the Minecraft:play screen. Realms Stories, which does not include Realm management from the Hub, can also be accessed from the game menu while playing on the Realm.
Unlike a Realms server itself, which is hosted on servers owned by Minecraft:Mojang Studios, Realms Stories is hosted on Xbox's Minecraft:social network. Each Realm has a private "Club" in the Xbox Network, making all posted screenshots available from the Xbox profile page for any member, where they can also be downloaded. Because Stories is hosted on the Xbox Network, the data is slightly delayed from the actual server. Furthermore, old Stories (usually past page 9) are automatically deleted.
The main screen of the Realms Hub has four tabs.
- Community – includes most social features, found in the "Story feed", "Members", and "Admin log" tabs.
- Timeline – an overview table of player activity on the server.
- World – world management on the server. See Template:Slink.
- Settings – organized in tabs, contains any type of settings related to social features from Realms Stories, the server, and subscription. See Template:Slink for settings unrelated to the social features.
The main screen of Realms Stories has three tabs, and a button to open the Realms Stories settings in the top-right.
Story feed
.png){kind=link}
In the Story feed, all story posts from Realm members are shown on the right side of the screen, and a list of recently played members on the left side. A player can add with the purple button on the top-left. A story post can contain text, and/or a Minecraft:screenshot that is stored in-game.
Every story post in the Story Feed shows the player that added the story, and the time or date when the story was added. If the story contains a screenshot, the player can open it in full screen by clicking on it. Every post can also be liked with the button below, including a player's own posts. The amount of likes is shown on the left.
Players can also comment on every story post. These comments can only include text, but they can be liked by any player in the comments screen.

With the options button on the bottom-right of a post or comment, player's can remove their own posts, or report them to Xbox Enforcement. Administrators can delete any story or comment, while other members can only delete their own. Other members can also notify the administrators about a story. These reports can be accessed from the "Feed moderation" screen, where they can delete, dismiss, or report the message. Administrators can also see which members reported a message.
The feed moderation is accessible from the Realms Stories settings in-game.
Realm Events
These new stories are automatically posted to the feed when interesting events happen on a Realm. They can be toggled off in the Realms Stories settings by the owner.

Shows a list of all Realm members and their activity or online status, as well as invited players. The list can be filtered for Realm roles, and all players can view the permissions for each member. The Realm owner can also change the Realm roles and grant administrator permissions.
The owner and administrators can manage members from the here, including removing or banning them, or invite new players, manage invite links, or Minecraft:player permissions. The latter three are only available from the "Manage Realm" screen.
In Realms Stories in-game, this does not show invited members or Realm roles, but still allows access to the Manage Realm screen for administrators.
Admin log
The Admin log in the Realms Hub is accessible for administrators from the "Community" tab. Here, recent changes performed by administrators are logged. Each entry shows the date and time and administrator, as well as the specific action. This includes changes to server settings, changes to activated add-ons, and major changes to worlds on the Realm.
Timeline

Realm Stories also contain a Timeline table that shows numerous activity of players in the Realm. The playing times are colored for each player. One week of playing times is shown on the screen, but older data can be viewed with the arrow buttons above. To gain access to the Timeline and store activity data, a player needs to opt in for the Timeline. Players can opt out at any time, and they can also opt in anytime later again. Administrators can view all members that are opted out.
