FAQ
Realms vs own server FAQ
Is Realms cheaper than a server?
For a small group that plays plain Minecraft, Realms is simple and fair. With more than 10 friends, plugins or mods, your own server is cheaper per player and does much more.
Can Bedrock players join?
A Java Realm is for Java players only. Your own Java server can let phones and consoles join with Geyser.
Can I move my Realm world to a server?
Yes. Download the world from Realms in the game, then upload it in the Game panel.
