This Wednesday, a hot new Snapshot enters the Realm! That's right, in 26.3 Snapshot 8, Realm owners can now create and manage Invite Codes, making it easier than ever to join the fun.
Alongside these additions, we've made further improvements to the World Options screen and included several gameplay fixes and technical updates.
Happy mining!
