HEY!
So all of you that have recently updated to Minecraft 1.7.9 have seen or heard about the new Minecraft realms addon. If you dont already know what Minecraft realms is, pretty much it is a huge server host that lets you host servers and not have to do all the port-forwarding and white-listing. The problem is, it costs about $13 or 10 Euros a month and cuts out a lot of features you would see in a regular server. It is mainly meant to be played with your friends but cmon Mojang, you must be trying to torture us, why wouldnt you want to make things easier but if you are, why charge us? We have already bought Minecraft, we dont want to pay for anything else.

Here are some more reasons I think Minecraft realms is a ripoff.

1. Minecraft realms strictly points out that it does NOT support plugins or mods.
2. Mojang has stated that Minecraft realms beta is only released in Sweden, ya I mean that tiny country next to the
 British.
3. Not only are they making you pay for the beta but the servers can only have a maximum of 20 people added on it's white-list and only 10 players on at a time!

But hey, thats just my opinion. Tell me what you think in the comments, your feedback is what gives these blogs purpose! Dont forget to subscribe if you enjoy my content and remember to diamond!

BYE!

Minecraft Realms total rip off... Minecraft Realms should have been included in the game itself after you pay $27..

$13/mo is just ridiculous, I ran a 20-slot server with over 25 plugins on $6/mo.

It's a private server hosting system- who needs plugins? Command blocks work if you're desperate.

They can't make it free Becuase it costs money for them to host the servers
It has also been released in Canada and many other places
It just meant to be an easy way to host a vanilla server for all those people who don't want to do all the boring stuff.
And with it you can play minigames. In the options you can choose the minigame and the server will switch to it until the match has ended. These are vanilla minigames though.

The reason they want you to pay is not because they're gready, but rather, they need the money to host a lot of high-quality servers. Crap aint cheap.

Realms is one of the best things that happaned to Minecraft... If this was out before i woudn't even know how to code today which i guess im grateful for lol but still. New players now can easily just play with their friends alone. also i dont know what you think sweden is but its much more bigger then the UK also Realms is almost everywhere now... im just saying realms can be what is the new server host for private servers :P

I think this would be great for people like the yogscast to play. I mean, people pay more than 100$ dollars for donator ranks, so why not ten dollars? Also, a package deal cost lest.

Thats all true but for $10 and no setup its a great deal for those new players who just want to play with there firiends because like i said theres no setup plus it supports a few mini-games. And also realms supports north-america now along with a ton of other countries (check your info before you post it)

So all in all its a really great option for new players and people who just want to play vanilla
