Realm Bot 4.0 restored major Premium features like Discord-to-Realm chat relay and AutoMod after months of instability, while also introducing the planned MC Realms List website and naming Kai as the project’s de facto owner. The article also reported that Clover Network had effectively merged into Gladiator Network following the earlier ownership controversy, while Mando and Sealeopard quietly returned to the Realm Bot community after previously announcing their departure.
Realm Bot version 4.0 has released. Realm Bot's most iconic Premium features - like Discord-Realm chat relay, AutoMod (platform banning), and more - have been reintroduced using the fixed world joining feature that has been in Realm Bot's beta testing version for some time. This comes after these features have been unworking (or inconsistent and unreliable) on the main bot for many months, prompting many to become dissatisfied with Realm Bot, switch bots, and even question Realm Bot's future.
Realm Bot's developers have also introduced MC Realms List, a website in planning that will feature various Realms for people to join.
As part of the update announcement, they have also declared that Kai, a Developer, will now be Realm Bot's de facto owner ("CEO"). They noted that Roman, the original owner of Realm Bot who left Discord in February, "will continue to work in the background".
Clover Network has merged with Gladiator Network (the Discord Server turned into "Check Portal Channel", which provides a link to Gladiator). This is seemingly because of the recent events that caused I3 to gain Clover Network ownership (for context, I3 owns Gladiator Network). Dogpeeps, the original owner, has made a new Clover Network Server and is also redirecting people to it. (He acknowledged that I3's Clover Network is the original one, though.)
On other news - after publicly announcing their departure from the Realm Bot staff team and Discord Server, Mando and Sealeopard have returned - but quietly, and with no indication from the welcome or announcement channel.
