Minecraft Realms: Is It Worth The Investment?

Minecraft Realms: Is It Worth the Investment? Minecraft is one of the most popular video games of all time, with millions of players around the world creating and exploring their own unique worlds. But for those who want to take their Minecraft experience to the next level, there’s Minecraft

Realms – a subscription service that offers a wide range of benefits to players. But is it worth the investment? I have been subscribed since the world went into lockdown and wanted to share my experience. First, let’s talk about what Minecraft Realms is.

Minecraft Realms is a subscription service that allows players to create their own private servers for Minecraft. This means that you can invite your friends to play with you on your own server, without having to worry about other players intruding. This is by far the main reason people get the subscription.

Players can create a persistant Minecraft world that exists even if you are not in it. Friends can drop in and out building, destroying or role-playing. Realms also offers additional features such as automatic backups for peace of mind.

Some might find the 10 player limit a problem but my children never maxed out as different friends played together at different times. Whilst one of the biggest benefits of Minecraft Realms is the ability to play with friends, it can also cause some upset.

If one friend decides to go in and dynamite all your hard work, this can cause an issue so regular offline saves are advised. Minecraft Realms also offers a wide range of free texture packs, which can be used to give your world a unique look.

These packs are available to all subscribers, and can be used to create everything from a medieval castle to a futuristic city. The cost of Minecraft Realms varies depending on the subscription you choose. A monthly subscription in the UK costs £7.99 and in the US is $7.99, while a three-month

Subscription costs £22.99 / $22.99. This can be considered as a reasonable price, especially when compared to the cost of buying texture packs separately. Buying texture packs separately can cost between £2 and £5. What’s the Catch Minecraft Realms won’t be for everyone and

There are a handful of reasons why this might be the case. Firstly, Realms can uninvite inactive players meaning players will need to re-invite players after a while. Realms is also more expensive than other hosting servers. However, this is mainly for PC players and you will need some technical know-how to set up.

The official Minecraft Realms servers are still not moddable which is an instant no for those involved in the modding community. So for me and my family (and my children’s friends), Minecraft Realms was a great investment. The ability to have my children play with their friends, easily switch between game

Modes and access various free worlds and texture packs make it a great value for the price. It’s also a great way to make sure your world is always safe and accessible, with automatic backups. If you or a family member is an avid Minecraft player, Minecraft Realms is definitely worth considering.
