What the ‘Minecraft’ switch to Realms Plus means for console, computer and mobile

'Minecraft Realms Plus' digs deeper into the world of monthly subscriptions. — Mojang

Official Minecraft subscription service Minecraft Realms was replaced this week by Realms Plus, which now includes complimentary Marketplace content on top of the usual shared multiplayer server for friends – as long as the Realm owner stays subscribed.

Fifty pieces of Minecraft content, from adventures and worlds to skin packs and mini-games, over and above the usual 10-player personal multiplayer instance, act as the incentive for players to sign up for Minecraft Realms Plus.
