Skycaptin5 – Are Minecraft Realms Worth It? Yes or No? Realms Review

Minecraft’s our realms worth it we’re gonna be taking a look at the realms of Minecraft to see whether or not they still have a value to them or whether or not you should jump in so first off when you get a realm invite I thought I should go

Over this first you get a little envelope in the top left corner and you can join or not accept it from there so to start realms are kind of Awesome I have a realm I’ve ran around for well over a year at this point they do cost

Money but you can do a trial run so I run a realm that has the higher option when it comes to realm types there are a couple of options for your subscription so first off there’s the one for two friends plus you can play at once that’s

The smaller realm the bigger realm is 10 friends plus you at once so 11 people or three people you can extend your realm close your realm or do anything you want so basically you go to the menu where you have your realm then you just click

That to join in you also have a realm feed where people can post images send comments and so forth of what’s going on you can make a new post at any time you can do that right from the realm as well as we jump in here and you could have

Some options for your realm so realms are also a good place for transferring worlds some people want to play out their world from Xbox on the nitendo switch so you upload your worlds onto a realm download it on the other place you know the other console or the other

Platform it’s great so with this review of realms I’m going to be going over the different features and thoughts on whether or not this is actually an experience that might be worthwhile for you and again realms it really depends on the type of person you are so first

Off let’s go over the details so a realm you get to choose your realm name you get a description you can do the difficulty you can have the game mode you can activate cheats if you want you have the option to download your world replace it reset it you can manage the

Feed from it thankfully they edit a backups feature which was not a thing for a long time so I had to manually back it up still I always like to keep saves available in case there’s a subscription area which we went over and the main member section so in the

Member section you can actually have basically an unlimited amount of players that can you know have the option to join your realm at any time I’ve got a lot of members as you can see and then we’ll go back to that in a sec here and

Then you also have the option to invite your friends and that’s kind of how you get people into your realm as you add them as a friend and you invite them in which is why when I do invites I definitely need people to add me so I

Can find them easily you can also share meaning clear members you can do a share you kind of give them a realm coat which I will probably have hidden because I don’t want people to join um and then you actually can just jump into your Brum it’s also worth mentioning that in

Your realms you can upload add-ons if you’d like again this might disable achievements based on what you have so be cautious about that so basically the only way to do that isn’t you don’t like naturally include the add-ons into your game what you do with them is you put them into

The world before you upload it into your realm so we have a custom picture pack sorry I was expecting there to be like paintings somewhere we’ll find paintings anyways so yeah and then you get into your realm and I film this just generally on the Xbox because you know

You only get so much of a render distance in realms as opposed to it being like unlimited in other places that’s just to keep the the rendering down and make it easier for everybody to play so this is my realm it’s well over a year old and it’s been developed and

Lots of people have built on it and we’ve created a lot of structures you got to thank my mod team for that one they do great jobs that’s where we also come to the option of members having sort of you can set kind of levels of

What they’re allowed to do as far as like crafting sorry it’s just sometimes it’s so slow cuz there’s so many people in here you go here and you can kind of change there you know abilities and so forth like that other options once you actually load up the thing include you know your

General like what resource packs are available and so forth like that just your general settings well back out of there there’s a feed you can instantly take a picture and share it with your Minecraft realm people I have coordinates on because of they’re not considered cheats and there’s all these

Different settings you can have based on what you’ve actually selected for the world before you load it in so when it comes to value I think really it depends on what you’re wanting for your Minecraft realm it’s like do you want something that’s fun with like you know

Your friends you can just pick a smaller one if you have a lot of friends or if you’re doing this as in like I’m doing it where you’re trying to create like a community you’ll you’re gonna need a larger kind of selection for people to

Join in and we know more members and we have maxed out the 11 player count before it’d be really cool it’s even more but you know I guess they have limits for a reason maybe someday they’ll get expanded upon so when you’re playing in the realm these are at

24/7/365 the realms are always running they’re always available to people people can always join in they can always play that’s really cool so if you want a friend to come in and work on something then you’re not available you know you can have that option available which is really nice

Check out this creeper but I mean if you just play with a friend when you’re together I don’t necessarily think you need a realm realms really are for people that want to have that option to present for people to play anytime just so you can you know jump in and work on

A project together or something like that and I think that’s what really realms are for is therefore a larger groups of people playing together there for people that want to be able to access a realm even though like you know your hosts are I guess a world in

General even though your hosts might not be present they do serve functionality are they worth it for everyone they are sort of expensive I say that you know because you do have to pay the subscription whether you’re doing that like in blocks or there’s different options for how long you want to have

Your realm subscription running so it really is up to individual person now I’ve really enjoyed running a room I think it’s a lot of fun but it is a lot of work too because especially if you’re the owner you have to manage everything you often bite people you have to deal

With people that are causing problems you have to remove people and keep in mind the way I run around isn’t gonna be the same way that you might run around depends on how many people you have how many people you are kind of playing with what you want it is this really the

Functionality of what you want to do with your realm I’d say it realms are worth it because I’ve gotten a lot out of it I’ve had a lot of fun with it I’ve gotten to see it grow into this huge kind of city depending on your platform

You can also put in all kinds of different worlds you don’t have to keep the same world running I notice a lot of people that kind of like get realms going and then they don’t really do anything with them and then it’s kind of like you know what’s the point of

Inviting me to this but I do I really do believe I have one of the best realms out there in terms of just quality and being built keep in mind this this was like not an offline project this was built entirely online on the realm being worked on the entire time creating just

Like this large expansive place and this is like all the efforts from other people I build practically nothing on here because I’m just not that good at building well you know we have the options for all kinds of different people we have like PvP setups we have

Kind of minigames and you can do whatever you want in a realm if you want to have it where it’s cheats you want to have a realm where it’s just creative you can do that this is a survival realm so I mean it’s our viable element supply but I mean there’s something different

Now but you really gotta fix that there’s something different for every kind of player no matter what you’re looking at and the realms just really the food’s gone as you can see it’s it’s tiring maintaining things dealing with people taking stuff and not replanting that aside I mean when it comes down to

It I think realms are a fun worthwhile thing cost-wise it really depends if you have the money to available to sit there and kind of you know pay for it all the time because keep in mind this is something where it’s like if you want to keep it running you have to

Always be paying for it you can kind of leave it off and I haven’t noticed that it expires because we did have some downtime for a bit and all the members were still there the map was still available and you know you just had to pay again to make it active for people

So I mean it is really good in that regard so when it comes down to it realms really do sort of have functionalities and whether or not you see value out of that is up to the individual person I’d say quality while quality wise they run smooth

They run fine I’ve never seen any downtime most of the time the leg is you know there’s no leg it comes down to personal devices there have been times where there are some minor glitches and stuff but they do tend to patch them up eventually and nothing too detrimental

To the factory we didn’t be able to play so I like room I do suggest coming around if it’s something you want to manage if it’s you know something you want to deal with if you want to have this home-like little world that you like is available for someone to join

Anytime anyplace that’s perfect for it but I mean if you’re just gonna play the friend and you’re not gonna do you know not play with each other when you’re not online then it doesn’t really matter but again there are options you know let’s mold our games with three people or a

Larger game with eleven people the choice is yours and it really comes down to what you want out of a row
