For those PvP players who favor the bow, welcome to Bow Blitz, a map about bopping your opponents in the noggin with arrows in an attempt to cast them into the endless void. Players have several arenas to choose from, and learning the terrain can be helpful in battle. Also helpful are power-ups, designed to give you an edge over your opponents. Play with your friends, play with some bots, or befriend a bot! Those friendships are real and valid no matter what people tell me.
STATS!
This week, we’re trying a new segment where we bring you the latest on which maps from the Realms library are being played the most. We think you should try all of the different content, but if you want to know about the current trendsetters, here you go:
Minigames - Total Playtime, last thirty days
- Party Parade
- Minigame Blitz
- Easter Egg Factory
Adventures - Total Playtime, last thirty days
- Sea of Cinders
- Herobrine’s Mansion
- Advanced Sky
You’ll see that I’ve only included minigames and adventure maps in this ranking. World templates are kind of weird since those can become someone’s main Minecraft world, and even a few people on a single world template can play for hundreds of hours and influence its placement. Our other categories, Experiences and Inspiration, both only have a handful of maps at this time (which means that those categories are both wide open for creators!)
Hit Pause
Unless you’ve been living under a block, you’ve probably noticed that something fishy is up with Minecraft: the Update Aquatic is coming! As with any major update to Minecraft: Java Edition, some things will change in the Realms content library. First, depending on the release schedule for the update, this may be the last bunch of new Realms maps before the update. After all, creators need time to think about updates or brand-new maps they’d like to make. Second, when the update does happen, some of the maps that you can download from Realms might excuse themselves from the library. Typically, about a third of maps are updated right away, about a third are updated in the following month, and for the last third, those creators choose to focus on new projects instead.
What this amounts to is an exciting and totally-not-at-all-stressful-for-our-team shakeup of Realms content as we phase out the old and publish the new. Hopefully the new maps involve lots of innovative uses of the new aquatic features!
To learn about loading new and old content into Java Realms, visit our help site. If you haven't yet tried Realms for yourself, you'll have a blue diamond on the Minecraft Realms button, located on the main screen of Minecraft: Java Edition. Click it, then follow the instructions to try Realms free for 30 days.
Want to have your own Minecraft creations featured on Realms and on this blog? Head over to this page, which explains the Java Realms Content Creator Program. If you have questions about this process, you can find me on Twitter.
Happy Minecrafting!
