      There is a bug that I found that is causing the following issues:

      • Realm title not saving when trying to rename
      • "Save world to device" initializes and fails

      I performed the following tests on the latest versions of all platforms (iOS, Android, Windows 10)

      >> MINECRAFT PE VERSION: 0.15.9
      TEST #1
      Realm title formatting: Plain text
      Current realm title: The 77 Combine
      TEST - Renaming realm title : SUCCESS
      TEST - Save world to device : N/A - Not available on this version

      TEST #2
      Realm title formatting: Minecraft font formatting, using special character §
      Current realm title: §l§fT§8he §477 §fC§8ombine
      TEST - Renaming realm title : FAIL
      TEST - Save world to device : N/A - Not available on this version

      >> MINECRAFT PE VERSION: 0.16.0
      TEST #3
      Realm title formatting: Minecraft font formatting, using special character §
      Current realm title: §l§fT§8he §477 §fC§8ombine
      TEST - Renaming realm title : FAIL
      TEST - Save world to device : FAIL

      TEST #4 (On another realm subscriber's account)
      Realm title formatting: Plain text
      Current realm title: My Realm
      TEST - Renaming realm title : SUCCESS
      TEST - Save world to device : SUCCESS

      >>MINECRAFT PE VERSION: 0.16.1
      TEST #5
      Realm title formatting: Minecraft font formatting, using special character §
      Current realm title: §l§fT§8he §477 §fC§8ombine
      TEST - Renaming realm title : FAIL
      TEST - Save world to device : FAIL

      TEST #6 (On another realm subscriber's account)
      Realm title formatting: Plain text
      Current realm title: My Realm
      TEST - Renaming realm title : SUCCESS
      TEST - Save world to device : SUCCESS

      My conclusion is that the insertion of the character "§" in the realm title will work the first time it is inserted and saved, but locks it and prevents it from being edited afterwards. The world download function seems to be directly related to the same issue.

      In other words, changing a realm title from plain text to minecraft font formatting will work the first time you save it. But you cannot rename/download afterwards.

      My proposed solution would be to rename all active realm titles to plain text, and prevent the use of the § character in the realm title field in a future update.

      If you would please reset my realm name from "§l§fT§8he §477 §fC§8ombine" to "My realm" in plain text, I would be able to re-test both functions and give you additional confirmation that it is indeed the issue.

      If you need any information from me in order to locate my realm file on your servers, i'll quickly provide it.

      Thank you for your help.
