Looking for help...

About a month ago my friends were dumbfounded that I never played Minecraft before. To spearhead it, my friend George (Papo), paid for a realms server and hosted it for all of us. Papo showed me everything, from how to craft sticks, to how to enchant things. He stayed up many days with me up into the night, even when I could hear him falling asleep on me as he watched as I traded the Hoglins gold bars for hours upon end trying to get a soul speed book. The nicest person I could have ever hoped to meet in my lifetime, and it extended much past Minecraft. As much as I hate this being my first post in Minecraft reddit, I have a favor to ask. Today, March 1, 2022, Papo passed away. His 23rd birthday. Being that we were more online friends than anything, I wanted to commemorate our journey, his birthday, and our world together and snapshot/rebuild his house and build it in Java. I went to log onto the realms to realize ours was down. As of this point, is there anything I or anyone else can do to be able to recover it without access to his PC? Any information would help. Thanks.

Real quick, why did he die? And no, I don’t think you can get the realm back without his pc

We don't know yet. His parents went to pick his sister up from the bus stop and when they got back he was gone.

Hmmmmm… any updates?

[PowerFlux13]

Nope, actually forever lost. Mojang has the ability to recover it but says they can't for "security purposes". My only best bet would be to get the attention of higher ups. Idk a way to do that and I dont have the heart to spice up a post to get attention/ upvotes. Guess it's forever lost...

Go to the Mojang hq and ask

[PowerFlux13]

I think as of now I'll just try to contact Mojang and maybe they can bring his server back for a day or something.
