'''Minecraft Realms''' is an official subscription-based [[Minecraft:server]] hosting service that allows players to create and manage their own private ''Minecraft'' servers. Hosted by [[Minecraft:Mojang Studios]], Realms provides a simple way to create servers and allows the owner to manage them from inside the game, without knowledge of hosting on the internet. ''Minecraft'' Realms also provides additional features such as player-made [[Minecraft:Java Realms Content Creator Program|maps]] and [[Minecraft:Realms Stories]]. Only one player needs to own the subscription, while other players can be invited to a Realm for free. Realms are not intended for large public servers, but for groups of friends or as a family server.<ref>{{tweet|danfrisk|311725356434460672|Quick info: Minecraft Realms isn't built for huge public servers.

Template:Page imageTemplate:Fallback infobox

Minecraft Realms is an official subscription-based Minecraft:server hosting service that allows players to create and manage their own private Minecraft servers. Hosted by Mojang Studios, Realms provides a simple way to create servers and allows the owner to manage them from inside the game, without knowledge of hosting on the internet. Minecraft Realms also provides additional features such as player-made maps and Minecraft:Realms Stories. Only one player needs to own the subscription, while other players can be invited to a Realm for free. Realms are not intended for large public servers, but for groups of friends or as a family server.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>

Realms internally uses Minecraft:Bedrock Dedicated Server on Template:BE,<ref>Template:Tweet</ref> and Minecraft:server.jar on Template:JE.Template:Note

Requirements

Realms is a service that can be used only by players who meet these requirements:<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>

  • The player must have purchased the full version of Template:JE or Template:BE and must be signed in with a Microsoft account.
  • The player must have a stable Internet connection.
  • Parental consent is required for players under the age of 16 in the US and the EU, or 19 in South Korea.<ref>Template:Citation</ref>Template:Verify
  • If using a console, the player must also have an active subscription to either:
    • Xbox Game Pass Core or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate if using an Xbox console.
    • Nintendo Switch Online if using a Nintendo Switch.
    • PlayStation Plus if using a PlayStation console.

Subscriptions

Realms is a subscription-based service. The link above goes to the player's Minecraft account page, which offers options to extend a current subscription or buy a new one. One player can have multiple active Realms subscriptions.

File:Ore UI - Minecraft Realms Screen - Buy Now Button - Choose Your Plan Screen Menu (Bedrock).png
The purchase screen for the two plans Template:In.

There are two types of subscriptions in Bedrock Edition: Realms Core (Template:W3.99 per month) and Realms Plus (Template:W7.99 per month).<ref name=":0">https://minecraft.net/realms</ref> The main difference is that Realms Core is limited to 2 players at a time active in a world, and Realms Plus is limited to 10 players. Realms Plus also includes access to all Minecraft:Marketplace Pass content. Realms Core subscriptions can be upgraded to Realms Plus at any time without the loss of the Realms server.

Any Realms subscription in Bedrock Edition also includes a free Realms server for Minecraft:Minecraft Preview, which exists separately from the default Realm but is connected to the same subscription.

File:Realms Subscriptions.png
The subscription screen in-game Template:In, accessed through the Configuration menu.

There are two types of subscriptions in Java Edition (also known as Java Realms), both with 10 players maximum: a reoccurring monthly charge that automatically renews the subscription every 30 days (this can be canceled at any time), or a one-time charge that comes in 30-day, 90-day, and 180-day packages and needs to be renewed manually. Both subscriptions cost US$7.99 per month.<ref name=":0" /> All players are able to have a 30-day free Realms trial, providing they have not already had a free trial on their account before.

Only the owner of a Realm needs a subscription to be able to manage the Realm. Other players can join the Realm for free if they have access granted by the owner.

Usage

Template:Relevant tutorialThe main menu for Minecraft Realms, accessible from the title screen in Java Edition and the play screen in Bedrock Edition shows all Realms servers the player owns or has joined. A new Realms subscription can be purchased from this menu, and the player can join new Realms from invites or invite links.Template:Only Invites sent by a Realms owner can be found in the invitations menu in the Realms screen in Java Edition and in the inbox screen in Bedrock Edition. In Bedrock Edition, the player can also enter an invite link provided by a Realms owner to join a Realm without an invite.

The main page of a Realm shows the Realm's name and description, as well as online players and the option to manage the Realm or leave the Realm, or open the Realms Hub.Template:Upcoming A Realm can be joined by pressing the "Play" button on a Realm, or by selecting the Realm through Minecraft:Quick Play in the Minecraft Launcher. Additionally, in Bedrock Edition, the player can create a desktop shortcut which lets the player directly join the Realm. The player needs to create an internet shortcut with Template:Cd followed by the Realm's ID (or Template:Cd for Preview Realms), found in the URL of the Realm's page on minecraft.net or the debug menu in Minecraft Preview.

Worlds

File:Realms Configure (Bedrock).png
The world selection screen Template:In.

A Realms server can store up to three worlds, from which one can be activated at a time. The Realms owner can select which world is activated and edit a world's settings (including add-ons),Template:Only or manage the world files. Not all options from the regular edit world screen are available for Minecraft Realms, but this can be bypassed by uploading a local world to the Realm. A world slot on the Realm can be replaced by any local world of the Realms owner, from the Create new world, Edit world, and Realms edit world screen. The owner can also choose to download a world, or reset the world slot to a new default world. In Bedrock Edition, most world settings can also be changed from the game menu while playing on the Realm.

In Bedrock Edition, any Realms subscription also allows access to the Minecraft:Realms Celebration Map, which is enabled in the third world slot by default.Template:Verify

Minecraft:Bedrock Editor has a tool that allows directly publishing the current project to Realms.

Backups

Java Realms automatically creates a backup every few hours when players are online. Each backup shows the time it was made and its size.

The owner of the Realm can choose to replace the world slot with the world data stored on a backup. Each backup can also be downloaded to the device as a singleplayer world.

Realms saves

Template:Exclusive

File:Manage Realms Screen Menu "Saves" Tab Settings (Bedrock Preview 1.21.120.25).png
The Realms saves tab.

In addition to the three Realm slots, multiple world saves can be stored on Realms. Automatic saves are taken at the end of every Realms play session when the server shuts down, or every 30 minutes during a play session, and are only retained for a limited time.

Owners can also manually save backups on the Realm. These saves are retained as long as the Realm exists. Automatic saves can be turned into manual saves to retain them for longer. However, the maximum storage for each Realm is limited for manual saves. Realms Plus subscriptions have 10GB of manual save storage, and Realms Core subscriptions have 5GB.

The owner of the Realm can find the Realms saves forr the currently activated world in the general Realm settings screen. They can choose to replace a world slot with a save, or to download the save to the device.

Members

The owner of the Realm can invite players by adding their player name to the Realm in Java Edition, or by adding an Xbox friend in the "Members" tab of the Realm's settings in Bedrock Edition. Players can be added as friends by entering the gamertag in the "Search for players" screen which can also be accessed from the "Members" tab.

Individual players can be removed at any time from the Realm, and they can also be banned to prevent them from joining with an invite link.Template:Only For each player, the Realm owner can set the Minecraft:permission level/player permissions. In Java Edition, the owner can also promote players to grant them the right to change permission levels.

Members can also be managed from the game menu in Bedrock Edition while playing on the Realm. They can also invite other members to join through the Minecraft:social system, and partiesTemplate:Upcoming can also move to Realms, provided that all members have access.

Invite links

Template:Exclusive The owner of the Realm can create and activate invite links for the Realm. Any player can join the Realm by entering it in the "Join a Realm" screen in-game, or by entering Template:Cd in the browser's search bar followed by the invite link. Invite links automatically expire in 7 days, but this can be disabled or set to a different time between 30 minutes and 7 days, with limited options. The owner can also enable or disable invite links directly.

Maps

Template:Exclusive

File:Java Realms Minigame Selection.png

Template:See also On Minecraft:Java Edition, besides generating new worlds and uploading singleplayer worlds, Realm owners can also choose to install a premade map from a curated selection. All available maps are ensured to be compatible with the latest stable version (which a Realm must always run on), have been reviewed by Mojang and published through the Minecraft:Java Realms Content Creator Program.

The full list of maps that have been submitted through the program, as well as whether they're currently available for install on Realms, can be found here.

A Realm can have three world slots that the owner can switch between at any time. An additional temporary world slot is reserved for premade maps categorized as Minigames. Unlike regular worlds, minigames do not save players' progress, and they reset whenever all players log out.

Realms Stories

Template:ExclusiveTemplate:Main

File:Ore UI - Realms Stories Screen Menu "Story Feed" Tab (Bedrock).png
The main screen of Realms Stories.

Template:IN, all members of a Realm have access to Realms Stories, an in-game social platform which allows players to communicate outside of the world through the "Clubs" feature of the Xbox network. Players can post comments and screenshots, and like comments from other players. The game also creates stories known as Realm Events, which document an important event in the world, such as when players defeat the Ender Dragon.

Players that are opted in also have access to the Timeline, a table which shows the playing activity for all members on the Realm. All players can also open each other's profile screens and view player permissions from the Members tab.

The Realm owner can also manage some settings related to Realms Stories, such as whether players are required to opt in to the Timeline to play on the Realm, whether Realm Events are enabled, and whether Minecraft:coordinates of Realm Events are shown. A report system allows members to notify the owner about posts, which the owner can delete or report to Xbox Enforcement.

Realms Stories can also be accessed from the game menu while playing on the Realm.

Settings

Exclusive Minecraft:settings exist for the Realm's owner to manage the Realm, including Realm name (up to 64 characters) and optional description (200 characters), and server region. The Realm owner can also choose to close the Realms server, which makes members unable to play on the Realm.

A custom server region for the Realm can be configured through the Realm's settings menu. The owner can choose whether Realms should automatically select the server region with the lowest ping for the first player to join a session, or always select a specific server region. The selected server region is shown in the loading world screen when joining a Realm. The following server regions are available: Template:Collapse

In Java Edition, players can toggle the profanity filter in the in-game chat from the account settings on minecraft.net. In Bedrock Edition, the profanity filter can be toggled per player from the in-game Minecraft:settings.

On the profile page on minecraft.net, all owned Realms can be viewed and managed. Most Realm-wide settings can also be changed here, including name and description, invite links, activated world, and player permissions. Friends can be invited and members can be removed or banned.

Realms Hub

Template:In development

File:New UI - Realms Hub Screen Menu "World" Tab - Slots (Bedrock Preview 26.20.22).png
World selection in the Realms Hub

The Realms Hub is an interface where all features from Realms come together: Stories, members, settings, and world management. It can be opened from the Play screen, replacing all other buttons. The Realms Hub has four tabs:

  • Community: The Story feed and Members tabs from Realms Stories are here, as well as the Feed moderation screen. In the members tab, the owner can now change a member's Realm role to Administrator. This allows them to manage all Realm features that were previously exclusive to the owner, except Saves,Template:Until changing Realm roles, and subscription settings. All members can view each other's Realm permissions. Player management is now also done here, including removing/blocking players and inviting friends. There is also a new Admin log, which shows all Realm changes performed by administrators.
  • Timeline: Functions exactly the same as the Timeline in Realms Stories.
  • Worlds: This is the previous "Manage Realm" screen. Players can now view which world is activated, while administrators can view all three slots and manage them. Specifically, they can activate a world, download it, replace it, or edit it. The Realms Saves can also be accessed from this tab.
  • Settings: Shows all other Realm settings.
    • Players can change their personal Hub (previously Realms Stories) settings and view Realm-wide settings, as well as leave the Realm. They can also view the selected server region.
    • Administrators can change all Hub settings, Realm settings (name and description), and server settings, including region and temporary closing.
    • The owner can also access the subscription settings here.

Limitations

Although Realms is hosted by Mojang Studios, it has some limitations. These limitations can be avoided by using standalone server software or a third-party hosting website.

  • In all versions and plans, the Realm has a player slot reserved for the owner only. The amount of other players who can play simultaneously are as follows:<ref>https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/realms</ref>
    • In Bedrock Edition, Realms Core allows up to 2 other players, while Realms Plus allows up to 10.
    • In Java Edition, a Realm can have up to 10 other players.
  • In Java Edition only:
  • In Bedrock Edition only:
    • The render distance is always limited to 24 chunks.
    • The Minecraft:simulation distance is always limited to 4 chunks.
    • The player can't enable experiments and world creation options including Minecraft:world seed, flat world, starting map, bonus chest, and Hardcore. However, all of these options are still available on Realms by uploading a local world with these options enabled to the Realm.
    • The world seed can't be viewed in the edit world screen for worlds on the Realm. The only way for a player to view the seed is by downloading the world.
  • Realms must always use the latest stable or Preview version of the game,<ref>Template:Bug</ref> except when the latest server version is backward-compatible with a client version.
  • Users under the age of 16 need parental consent to play on Realms.
