Pack overlays are ignored when uploaded to Realms, breaking packs
The bug
Pack overlays added in Java Edition 1.20.2 are ignored when uploading data packs and resource packs to a Realm. This causes those packs to break if they rely on a certain overlay to load when used in a certain version.
How to reproduce
- Download a data pack with an overlay, for example the attached data pack
- Add this data pack to your Realm in 1.20.2
- In-game, throw a saddle on top of any stair block
Notice that the spawned pig is not invisible. This is because the effect changes were implemented using an overlay folder- Now try to add the same data pack to a singleplayer world in 1.20.2
Notice that the spawned pig is invisible, as expected.
Potential fixes
Modify the realms whitelist to allow files in overlay folders.
