i was doing a mini research project on MC realms but i still don't fully understand what realms are. from what i gathered up, it just sounds like the multiplayer setting but $13.00 a month. what is the difference between multiplayer and realms?
also, (since i am new at this game) i have never been on multiplayer. I've tried going on thinking that its just gong to find someone close to me playing the game but after a while a started thinking that thats not the case. and when I 'direct connect' it would always say "failed to connect server unknown host".
Realms is Mojang's official server hosting service. When you play Multiplayer, you connect to server IPs, and those servers are hosted by either players themselves or hosting companies. Realms is meant for small groups of friends or families who want an affordable small server when they don't have a powerful enough computer to host one themselves. Keep in mind if you just want to play with people on the same internet connection as you, you can use the Open to LAN option on the pause menu in singleplayer, and your world will show up automatically on their server list.
Direct connect is just a way to connect to a server IP without saving it on your server list. You can find tons of servers in this section or just searching around on server list websites.
