You can invite up to 20 players to a Realms server but only 10 can play simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>Hardcore Minecraft fans may not find Minecraft Realms compelling as there are cheaper, more powerful hosting services out there. That said, Realms is the only first-party hosting service and is aimed at making server set up as easy as possible for parents. While $13 per month is a lot, Mojang does offer discounts for 6 month and 1 year subscriptions.<\/p>\n<p>Minecraft Realms is available now on Mac and PC.
