The Bedrock Edition of Minecraft is playable with friends using peer-to-peer online multiplayer, where you can join your friends’ active sessions for free. But if you want a server that will stay online even when you’re not, you’ll need a Realm.

Realms are the Mojang-provided servers that players can buy using a subscription-based payment. For $7.99 a month, players can get a Realm that will host up to 11 people, including the host.

Note that more than 11 other people can join your server over the course if its life, but only 11 people can be online at once.

Bedrock Edition players will need Realms Plus, which also includes over 50 different Marketplace packs. Realms Plus can be purchased within the Minecraft Marketplace. For those using Minecraft’s Java Edition, you’ll need to purchase a Realm from the Minecraft website. Keep in mind that Bedrock Edition players cannot play on the same servers as Java players.

After buying your Realm or signing up for a free trial, you’ll be able to access it from your Worlds tab. You can click the pencil to edit the difficulty, set the game mode, rename the Realm, and invite your friends.

Note that using Realms is the easiest way to host a server for playing with a small-sized group. It’s possible to host a server without using Realms, but it often requires paying for a third-party service. It’s also possible to host your own servers, but doing this requires a fairly powerful PC to host, as well as a base level of knowledge about navigating your internet router, so it’s definitely not for beginners.

Client Incompatible . please help

I just downloaded minecraft on a new pc and just paid for minecraft realms. I bought a second account so my sons and I can play together in the same world. I launch minecraft and click on the “realms” button. An error comes up saying “Client Incompatible. Your Client is not compatible with minecraft realms, please consider updating it.”. Argh. A little stressed. I paid for realms to make it super-easy as advertised to make a multiplayer world. I see absolutely zero links, buttons, options or anything anywhere in the launcher or game that allows me to update the client. The client says version 1.8.3 I know of no more current version.

Please help. my head is exploding.

The mod itself must be 1.8.3 to work with your client and be able to log into the realms server.

So now I have a realm and a working server. I should have done more research before buying anything. Ladyyura909, I will check for a current version of voxelmap. I am not sure if texture packs work with realms either. No texture pack and no mod on realms = deal breaker for me. Especially considering I already have a running server with both the texture pack and the mod running smoothly on it.

The only advantage of realms is ease of creation and the server is online even when the “host” is not online. Otherwise it is incredibly limited. I don’t mind but to be honest, if a person has to grind to get compatible mods and texture packs, they might as well grind to make a server. Server = 10 minutes of youtube videos.

Since I already paid for realms I m going to see if I can find an up to date version of voxelmap and if I can use the texture pack I like (KOP).
