REALMS PLUS: JANUARY

Welcome to 2021! You can't tell, but I've thrown confetti all over my desk, and since I'm working from home, it's now spread across the entire apartment. It's a new year, which of course means a fresh slate of Realms Plus picks from the Minecraft Marketplace. Each one of these maps has been lovingly picked by hand, as I will now have to pick up every piece of confetti. How did it even get into the toaster? Oh well, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!

TNT++ BY SPARK UNIVERSE

Have you ever thought to yourself, "wow, I love TNT, but why aren't there 13 new types of explosive TNT, including sticky, rainbow tint, and lava TNT?" I know I often lay in bed at night thinking that exact thought. Luckily for those who dream of explosive TNT, the creators at Spark Universe are mind readers! Well, I can't confirm that they are mind readers exactly, but the TNT++ world delivers all the boom you could ever dream of and more!

NINJA GALAXY BY DIVEBLOCKS

Who is the Ninja Master? No, I'm asking! Is it you? It can be if you download Ninja Galaxy and explore floating islands and different buildings to discover hidden secrets! You can also fight your friends with the Ninja Duel mechanic. If you're looking for me, I'll be wearing one of the 11 exclusive skins and trying my best to blend into the background. I'm not afraid of a Ninja Duel, I just really appreciate the ninja art of hiding from everyone.  

DELUXE FURNITURE: LAKESIDE BY BLOCKCEPTION

If you're anything like me and stuck at home, you've been dreaming of a deluxe home renovation! Of course, I live in a one-room apartment, and my budget is, shall we say, non-existent, so those dreams are short. Thanks to Blockception and the Deluxe Furniture: Lakeside world, I can build whatever I want! With 500 different furniture choices and vehicles such as cars, boats, and planes, there are almost too many options? Is this possible? My editor tells me that it is, in fact, NOT possible to have too many choices, so download now and get to decorating.  

LUCKY WORLD: PETS BY IMAGIVERSE

I am obsessed with getting a pet, but as you learned above, I live in a one-room apartment and last time I checked, my landlord was NOT on board with me getting a live penguin as a roommate. I'd like to see them try to stop me now that I have Lucky World: Pets by Imagiverse. With over 250 unique pets to tame and take care of, I'll have all the dinosaurs, cats, dogs, lions, penguins, and more that I could ever want! There are also 16 different themes, which will help me tell the difference between fancy lions and rainbow cats.  

DIAMOND TYCOON BY RAZZLEBERRIES

Mining for diamonds is made easy with Diamond Tycoon from Razzleberries. Okay, not that easy since you'll be trying to maximize your diamond production by upgrading your compressor, drill, and storage space. All in a day's work! 

CRAZY HAIR BY PIXELUSION

When I wear my signature go-to hairstyle on the street (unwashed, unbrushed, and up in a messy ponytail), people try their best to avoid eye contact with me. Which is rude, but also is not the point here. The fact is that with Crazy Hair by Pixelusion you can choose from 10 ten skins with wild hairstyles so that you can rock whatever look you want! So easy I wish I could wear these skins out and about instead of having to brush my hair again.  

FINAL BOSS BY WAYPOINT STUDIOS

I saved Final Boss by Waypoint Studios for last because it wasn't named Middle-of-Article Boss. Obviously! But if you're ready to take on the lair of the Final Boss, with a free skin and ten additional unique skins, this is made for you.
