1.16 Crisis

The 1.16 Crisis (23 June 2020 - 11 August 2020), which was one of the most conflicting events in the groups history.

Background
When the release date of the new Minecraft 1.16 - Nether Update was announced, everyone was very happy about it and was excited to start a new Realm and discover new features and strategies. However, the waiting time for the update took so long that the day was almost done. First, the Java Edition came first, then the Android devices and as last the iOS devices.

The update came with many bugs and many other issues, such as the Realm issue. While Mojang had already stated many times that the bugs have been fixed for some platforms, many still complain and others were waiting for their patch. The Discord of Minecraft waws having daily complaints about the issue with Realms, as many others playing had Realms which couldn't open or Realms which had been purchased but could not be made.

Our issue was the fact that our purchased Realm could not be made, present since 23 June 2020.

Crisis
The ATK has been having hourly questions every day as to when the Realm is going to be made, however it was halted to the closest date of 1 August, because of personal and secure reasons. While the current Realm has been purchased, it still cannot be made because of the unknown bug. This has led members to become upset and disappointed at the lack of effort put in by Mojang’s team, also starting to play other games such as Clash of Clans, Brawl Stars and several minigames which are currently available on the server of the Hive.

Even after the promising day of 1 August, the bug still hasn’t been fixed and the tensions are really high today, still waiting on an explanation from the Mojang development team and a way to find out how a Realm could be created. Currently speaking has been very stiff now because everyone is arguing with each other about the same issue from different perspectives. After trial and failure, Aman eventually contacted Mojang Support, who helped him only partially, thinking that they had fixed the bug with a minor update 1.16.20. While in truth, this bug was only fixed for this version, but that fact remained unknown until further Realms would be made.

Aftermath
During the night of 11 August, a Realm was finally made, which ended the whole 1.16 Crisis for good. This made everyone who they once were, but not as they could’ve been. Because of this minor inconvenience at the time, everyone started acting different towards each other, which caused a social strain in the group. However, even after this issue was fixed at the time, the issue is still ongoing, as Aman is still having the same issues every time he attempts to create a Realm. To avoid the same crisis that happened the first time, he avoids telling the group the whole reason as more questions will be asked, demands will be put, and the stress from then will come back. This had also led Aman to question the staff of Mojang.
