Before purchasing Minecraft Realms, here is a guide on how much it costs and the features included for Java and Bedrock Edition.
Minecraft Reals offers a server for Java and Bedrock Edition that is easily accessible to you and your friends. It’s always online and can be played by players you invite. This is a good way to host a server if you can’t be bothered with overly complicated procedures and configurations.
The price and features of Minecraft Realms differ between the Java and Bedrock Editions. Additionally, a subscription-only grants access to the version you purchased it for. This means you cannot use a Java Realm if you subscribe to Bedrock Realms, and vice versa.
To help you decide, here is all you need to know about Minecraft Reals including how much it costs and the features for both Java and Bedrock Edition.

How Much is Minecraft Realms?
Here is a quick rundown of the pricing based on which version you are playing:
Bedrock Edition
There are two types of Minecraft Reals subscription options for Bedrock Edition with varying prices.
- Regular Realms cost $3.99 and can accommodate up to 3 players in total.
- Realms Plus costs $7.99 and can accommodate a total of 11 players.
Keep in mind that you can still invite up to 100 players to join your realms. However, the number of concurrent players is limited. This means other players who wish to play will have to wait in line.
Java Edition
Minecraft Realms in Java Edition only has one subscription option and is priced at $7.99. Just like Bedrock Edition, you can invite up to 100 players to join your server. Additionally, there can only be a total of 11 players online at the same time on a server.
