Minecraft Realms opens up to bring Mojang servers worldwide

4.8
Mojang's new subscription service that hosts and sets up multiplayer servers for Minecraft is available now worldwide. Minecraft Realms launched in North America last month for PC and Mac, and this week Mojang expanded it globally - no forgotten realms, then. In the UK, for example, one month's subscription sets you back eight of Her Maj's pounds sterling.

In North America the asking price is $13 per month, although there are discounts on three and six-month subscriptions. The service includes an automatic backup feature if you want to rip up creations and start anew, and Mojang also promises minigames and exclusive events. If you fancy inviting pals to join you in your new virtual pad, be advised a Minecraft Realms world allows up to 10 players at a single time.

This is awesome for any users that have no knowledge of how to create a server and just want a private server to play with friends. It also seems more safer to go through Mojang with a payment rather than a third party company.

This is a good addition to the game, and I'm glad to see something like this implemented into the game!

Suddenly sounds like great idea
i still prefer minecraft on xbox


Minecraft on Pc is 10x better, since they have better updates then us.


Yeah but theres more people to play with on xbox.


no. More people own minecraft on PC than xbox. Plus you can only have 8 in a single game on xbox. On PC you can have as many the server can handle.

-360- Awesome, I think this really helps out the people who don't know how to host a server but just want to get together with their friends.


And it's not like it's THAT expensive anyways.
