Minecraft Realms is a subscribtion-based private server rental service which lets subscribers set up online worlds accessible only to their friends.
For $13 per month, a subscriber can host sessions with up to 20 players live at once on the Mojang-run servers, which promise to be always available.
The service is currently only available to the PC version of the game, but the developer says it's "planning on releasing it on other formats in the future".
Minecraft Realms is currently available in many regions worldwide including much of Europe, UK, Mexico, South Africa and The United Arab Emirates.
Earlier today Mojang detailed plans for a 'Q2/Q3' release for Minecraft on PlayStation 4 and Vita.
While details on cross-buy and upgrade options are still forthcoming, the studio says it plans to enable world transfer from PS3 to PS4, and possibly also the PS Vita.
