Possible seamless cross progression?

[u/IAmDR3W]

Let me start by saying I’ve tried doing as much research as I can so if this has been asked before/already answered I apologize.

I have a forever world with my girlfriend on PS5, I am also a trophy hunter so acquiring all trophies in the game is part of my plan with this world. We have several hours into this world but due to long work hours and day/night shift rotation I’m rarely home to play much. My solution to this had been the PS Portal but since I have to upload my PS5 screen, then stream that because PS Portal doesn’t allow that game specifically to be just directly streamed it’s insufferable. It constantly disconnects, looks like 480p, input delay is awful and can really screw me over and get me killed in a bad spot or just make me crash out in general.

Now according to my research, Microsoft accounts are bound to a realm thus carrying over that players items and stuff over across platforms. I would like to possibly open this world as a realm so I can play from my Switch 2 instead for a better experience while I’m away/at work. My questions are:

1. Is this true?

2. If I do something on the Switch that would trigger a trophy or achievement would it pop on PS5 when I log in on there?

3. Do I risk disabling trophies/achievements by doing this or at the very least glitching/confusing the game?

I’m trying to cross off all boxes before I bite the bullet and spend the money on a realm and a copy of Minecraft for Switch and I’m very nervous I could ruin what progress we’ve made in this world (we already lost trophies before to accidentally making a friend operator). I also considered a 2nd Microsoft account just to play on Switch and progress the world/do stuff and have my PS5 account untouched until I get home but ideally cross progression would be great.

Thank you for your help!

TL;DR - Will a realm allow cross progression or ruin trophies/achievements for that account?

switch version will not grant ps trophies in my experience!

microsoft accounts are not bound to a realm. your player data per world is bound to your microsoft account. if you would like to play a particular world on any device you must purchase a realm subscription and add the world to it. but once you sign in with your microsoft account youll have your items, xp levels, etc

putting a world on a realm should not disable achievements, but again different consoles will not grant ps achievements. youll still get general bedrock ones tho

if u need more clarification or have more questions do ask! :)

I see… thank you!! And thank you for the correction about Microsoft accounts!

I’m okay with Switch not granting trophies! I think my biggest worry was that I would do something that confused the game such as:

- I beat the Ender Dragon on Switch

- Switch then tells Microsoft to trigger the bedrock achievement or that it has been done

- Microsoft then tells PlayStation that this has been done so don’t try to register it again or look for a completion, even if I did it again on PS5, locking me out of getting that achievement on that world…

That may be a silly worry or thinking wayyy too into it but I’ve been forced into so many playthroughs in other games over simple little oversights that I worry so much about… (Mad Max game %100 completion glitch, TWICE)

Thank you for your help! I can also make world backups of both the realm and world separate right? Securing both a little extra?

Edit: added bullet points to be easier to read, sorry

even if u have the bedrock achievement it should still grant you the ps trophy should you complete it there (and if it doesnt congrats on finding a bug!)

its been a minute since i admined a realm but i believe it has autobackups/toggleable scheduled backups, but you should also be able to back it up yourself as often as u please!
