Usually a creator can invite as many users as they desire.
The first and most basic way how you could play for free is if someone or a friend of yours purchases or subscribes to the Realms package, creates his or her very own realm and decides to invite you to play. So, basically there are mainly two ways of doing it, and if you have been playing Minecraft for quite some time now, then I guess you must have already figured these methods on your own. The most you could do however, as I said before is somehow decrease the amount of money you need to pay for a subscribing a realm or so. Well, I am really sorry to break your hearts here, but there is nothing like absolutely free, when it comes to Minecraft and realms for that matter. They let you create your realms in their 24×7 online and maintained server, so that you and your friends can access it anytime of the day or night throughout the year.Īnd hence, when you look into the amount of time and effort which needs to be put into the system just so that you could enjoy a good game of Minecraft while sitting back at home, an amount like $7 per month may seem quite alright for most parts. And where is this space taken up? All the space made available to you is basically from Majong itself. Secondly, whenever you create a realm for yourself and your friends to come to and play, it takes up quite some space. So, the very first reason as to why Realms are not free, lies in the very basic fact that even though a realm is created by a gamer it is completely done on a platform which is developed and has to be constantly managed by people developing the whole project together just so that you can play Minecraft as smoothly and easily as possible. Well, we will all come to each of that one by one, and I am pretty sure by the end you will to think that it is a god idea after all to get charged. I am sure many of you might have asked this question at least at some point of time.Īlso, many like my self once upon a time would also have this thought, that since realms are something which we players design and create, does not it mean that we are the creator and it should be up to us to decide whether realms are made free or not. Now, before we go straight to the part where I explian to you some of the very obvious ways and methods to help reduce your cost, I guess it would be a good idea to first look into why “Minecraft realms” are not free.
