Ready for Realms? It's Here!

Hold on to your hats, Mojang just unveiled Minecraft Realms in North America!

Realms is a service provided by Mojang which lets you host your world online. You and your friends can work on an awesome creation, adventure into the depths, or play one of our featured mini-games with just a few clicks. The servers are always available, and can be restored to an earlier point if something goes wrong. Realms is run by Mojang, and simple to set up. This can be especially useful for people who want to play with their friends or family, but don't want to go through a laborious server setup process!

Realms is currently only available for the PC version of Minecraft, though there are plans to release it on other platforms in the future. Any and all Realms updates can be seen by clicking here.

Minecraft Realms is currently available in Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Great Britain, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, North America, Norway, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, The Åland Islands, The Cayman Islands, The Faroe Islands, The Isle of Man, The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, and The United Arab Emirates.

Joining a realms server is Free, provided the host has whitelisted you... Hosting cost around 13$ a month

Thanks. Is this USD?

for those that do not know Realms have a limited white-list (I believe maxed at 20 names) and are limited to 10 simultaneous players.

Yes, in euros it's around 10

Very excited for the release of Minecraft Realms. As a server host, I definately think that everyone should be able to have a chance to experience the thrill - and the responsibility - of managing a server for themselves.

Canada, Mexico, and North America???

Interesting. Why the mental block over mentioning the nation that's provided Mojang with the most MC downloads? I'm just curious.

Why does it say:

Minecraft Realms is currently available in ... Great Britain, ... The United Kingdom ...

What's the point in mentioning both? Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales whereas the UK is Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Was that a typo for The United States or something?

Now I think about it, Great Britain might've been a typo instead of the United Kingdom as Britain includes the uk.

What? No. Britain does not include the UK, in fact, it's quite the opposite.

Let me explain:

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (aka the UK) consists of "Great Britain" and Northern Ireland.
Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales (Not Northern Ireland)
Britain is just a quicker version of "Great Britain", but technically/traditionally it's actually just England and Wales.

I actually just think that whoever wrote the list of countries just accidentally included them both.

He probably said "It's here" because he's in North America?
Idk though.
