Minecraft's Realms and Realms Plus recently received an update that added new features to Realm Stories, an enhanced render distance, and access to cosmetic items. The changes are meant to increase communication across the realm for all players, as well as jazz up everyone's characters. Minecraft Realms are only available for the Bedrock edition of the title.
Realms and Realms Plus are Minecraft's private server subscription service. First introduced in 2013, Realms allow friends to play together in a persistent world without worrying about other players wreaking havoc. Since launching, there have been multiple updates to the way these personal worlds function. The latest update focuses on communication between world members, event planning, and more.
The latest update to Realms affects Realms Plus subscribers. The first is the inclusion of Realm Stories, a social hub for all realm participants. The hub features multiple tabs, including the Story Feed with live event updates. The Timeline tab shows when members are typically in-game, making it easy to plan realm events, when to hunt for resources together, or when a building buddy will be on next. The Member Tab shows all members of a realm, including visitors, and if they're online. This is great if something, like a spreading fire or mob attack, is happening and players need help. The Comment thread makes it easy to chat with everyone who's available, or leave messages on what the base needs.
Along with the Realm Stories features, the render distance was increased by eight chunks on most platforms. This greatly helps when trying to set up a meeting zone and a player is having a hard time finding the location, or doesn't even have coordinates turned on in Minecraft Realms. Now, players can see farther into the distance, know when mobs are about to attack them earlier, and plan better escape routes. Some secret areas are likely to be discovered with the clarity this brings to the map.
The final addition to the service is access to a new set of Character Creator packs each month. This is similar to other monthly drops for subscription services. Once unlocked, the character cosmetics are permanent. Access to these packs requires the Marketplace, an additional feature players need to purchase or can be obtained through the new subscription service, Minecraft Marketplace Pass.
The update is a chunky one, featuring increased vision, communication, and cosmetics. Some players could find the communication improvements alone to be worth it. No longer will players stand about attempting to figure out what needs to be done, when the next event is, or how their base got destroyed.

The LEGO Minecraft builds are both attractive and simple, and although most of the builds depict pre-conceived designs, there are also sets that enable the sort of free play that both LEGO and Minecraft are famous for.
Minecraft is turning 15 years old. Somehow, it feels like it’s been around for much, much longer, which speaks to the ubiquity of the game. Despite its age, Minecraft is still wildly popular due its its sandbox-style gameplay — you can do or make almost anything. You can already play it on your computer, console, or mobile phone, but Microsoft’s added one more platform: Google search.
Minecraft is one of the most successful games of all time, but over a decade after launching, it still isn't available on the biggest PC gaming platform. In the years since, spin-offs like Dungeons and Legends have been released on Valve's storefront, but the original is still nowhere to be seen. That might finally be changing.
Mojang Studios is throwing a major sale on all Minecraft games to celebrate Minecraft’s 15th anniversary. The celebration (and the sale) has already kicked off on May 15th and runs until May 31st, 2024. The beloved crafting game is getting a huge 72% discount (approximately).
Minecraft is turning fifteen years-old and to celebrate Mojang are running fifteen days of giveaways from May 15th until May 29th. Apparently each day will offer up "a new free Character Creator item representing a different year of Minecraft history."
Minecraft is still one of the most popular games on the planet, but it's far from perfect. Sometimes the game will crash with the "Exit Code 1" error, leaving it in an unplayable state. Fortunately, it's a common issue, and we will show you how to fix it in no time.
A Minecraft player has built an incredibly accurate replica of a Walmart in their world. Minecraft gamers have made replicas of real-world locations since the game was released, but this may be the most accurate Walmart to be created.
A Minecraft player comes up with an ingenious idea to add some flair to the newly-updated loading screens in the game's PC launcher and make them more bearable to wait through. Though the ideas they have may not always be acknowledged by Mojang, Minecraft fans continue to share interesting concepts on how to make the beloved sandbox game even better.
Mojang has released the patch notes for Minecraft's first snapshot for Java Edition 1.21, which includes new paintings, music discs, background music tracks, adjustments to Trial Chambers, and more. The Minecraft snapshot also introduces data-driven enchantments, pushing its changelog to over 900 lines.
Minecraft has added tons of new mobs to the game over the years, both friendly and hostile. These include things like friendly cats and birds, to more obscure picks like bees and axolotls. Every animal serves a purpose, however, including the armadillo. These curious little critters are skittish and can't be tamed like a normal pet, but they do provide a very useful resource. If you manage to trap a pair, you will want to breed them to get as much as possible, but what does an armadillo even eat? It took us a while to figure it out, but we'll share the secret with you to breed armadillos.
Gamers all over the world will likely recognize the cake from Minecraft, and while they're certainly not the first to do it, one fan of the game has brought the game's cake to life by baking it in the real world. Minecraft's cake is just one example of the dozens upon dozens of food options available to survival mode players, though it stands out as a food item that can be placed as a block in the world — making it just as useful a decorative item to spruce up a home as it is a method of keeping the hunger bar full.
