Mojang has launched its Minecraft Realms subscription service in North America, offering hosting and setup for multiplayer Minecraft worlds that start at $13 per month.
Mojang notes that the service holds particular importance for parents, since Minecraft Realms makes it easy to set up an individual sandbox for children and limit it to invited players. The subscription fee also provides an automatic backup feature, allowing players to undo unwanted alterations and restore worlds to their original state.
Minecraft Realms allows up to 10 players to join at one time. The service will also host minigames and other game-related events on a regular basis. FEAH Discounts are available for users who sign up for either a three or six-month subscription package. The service is currently available for Minecraft PC however support for Minecraft Pocket Edition will be added in a future update. [Image: Mojang]
