Realms are one of my favorite Minecraft features. How else would I enter and hideously sabotage Sophie’s adorable base?
If you also love to spread your creativity and chaos far and wide, rejoice – because we’re launching Realms Pro*! This is a new server subscription service that allows you to host more people and have more control over your realms, among other things.
Realms Pro is available today, and below you’ll find a breakdown of its major features. Keep reading to find out what sets it apart from other Realms tiers and more!
Build a bigger community in your realm
Just like Realms Core and Realms Plus, Realms Pro allows you to invite up to 10,000 players – but Realms Pro supports up to 50 simultaneous players**, compared to 10 in Realms Plus and 2 in Realms Core. This is a huge upgrade that’s meant to allow you to build your community, host lively events, assemble a large crew of ambitious builders, or just dial up the chaos.
Available across all Realms tiers, Realms Stories lets you build a community hub to stay connected with your members, showcase your realms, promote events, and much more. Your players can join in by sharing their creations and stories, too. And with the larger communities supported by Realms Pro, there are even more people to share in the fun!
More power for your realm
With more players comes more demand. Your Pro realms are hosted on a non-shared server with 4 CPU cores and 16 GB RAM, which allow for smoother, more reliable, and more complex multiplayer experiences. You also get 25 GB of save storage, compared to 10 and 5 GB in Realms Plus and Realms Core respectively. More room for saves means more room for important checkpoints – before a big event, a major edit, or an experiment that could go spectacularly wrong (my personal favorite kind).
More customization in your realm
Realms Pro is designed for power users, allowing for advanced admin control via intuitive dashboards, sliders, management tools, and advanced/dynamic settings. To fine tune performance, you can set player caps and adjust render and simulation distance, among other things.
Not sure whether your tweaks are making a difference? The Pro server performance dashboard on Minecraft.net lets you see how your server’s resource usage responds in real time, making fine-tuning your realm feel more like an art and less like guesswork. You get real-time and historical CPU usage, memory usage, tick time, and concurrent players so you can scale your Realm and optimize its responsiveness.
Collaboration and testing your realm
With Minecraft Editor on PC, you can clone structures, paint landscapes, and build alongside your admins, with changes appearing in real time. Players can test out the changes as you work, allowing you to get feedback as you work and iterate quickly.
Are you ready to start building your community? And is there a chance you’ll invite me to it? I’m still banned from Sophie’s realm.
You can get Realms Pro here for just $1(U.S.) for the first 14 days, then $29.99 (U.S.) per month*** right here.
* Requires Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (sold separately) and internet (ISP fees may apply). Play on console requires a platform specific online subscription (sold separately).
