Note: Only the survival server has realms.

New to MineRealm? Realms are a unique aspect of the survival server, enabling users to claim land. The entire survival map is divided into 40,000 (50 x 50) realms. Within a realm, the realm owner can set the Message of the day (MOTD) and grant building privileges for other players.

Why realms?

The MineRealm realm system is a unique, evolving system. Users can earn realm credits, which can then be used for different purposes as the system changes. Realms also give players full control over the map, without causing restrictions, division, and don't force players on the server to be individualized.

How do I create a realm?

It is not possible to "create" a realm, as all realms are already defined on the map. You can, however, purchase a realm. To see info about the realm you're presently in, type "/realm" at any time.

How do I purchase a realm?

Realms can be purchased by typing "/realm purchase" when standing within a realm. You can't purchase realms already owned by another player. To purchase a realm, you must pay 10,000 realm credits.

You can purchase realms located anywhere on the map, except within Nether, The End, and The Wilderness.

How do I gain realm credits?

Realm credits are gained by placing/removing blocks. For every block you place or remove, you will gain 0.5 credits. To view the current amount of realm credits you have, simply type "/credits".

Can I sell my realm?

Yes. Simply type "/realm sell" within the realm. Selling your realm will give you back what you paid for it, minus a 10% fee. Optionally, you can sell your realm to another player, and specify your own selling price. To do this, type "/realm sell <user> <price>".

What do realms do?

Realms protect all blocks you place within the realm, so other users can't remove them. Additionally, other users can't place blocks within your realm. Also, any chests that you place within your realm can't be accessed by other users. Realms also give you the ability to set a MOTD for the realm, which will be shown when a user enters the realm.

Can I have more than one realm?

Yes. There are no restrictions regarding the number of realms you can own.

Can I let other players build within my realm?

Yes - to give a user building privileges within your realm, simply type "/realm member <user>" within the realm. Optionally, if you wish to remove building privileges that you've granted for a user, type "/realm member <user>". To view users that you've granted building privileges, type "/realm users".

How do I set the realm MOTD?

To set a MOTD for a realm, simply type "/realm motd <message>". This message will be displayed whenever a user enters a realm. You can set the MOTD for realms you own.

Is there a way to group chat with users building in my realm?

It's recommended you use the guild system, which enables you to group chat with a set of specified users. Information regarding how to use the guild system can be found in-game, by typing "/help".

Have fun!

Whilst PvP is now turned off in the wilderness, will players be able to turn PvP on in certain plot to create PvP arenas and such?

Edit: Also is there a limit to how many plots a player can hold?

I was JUST about to do that. You stole my correction.

For clarification, does this mean that we can be members of other players towns now, if I got this right?

You're welcome! LOL!

I have a question: what do we do if someone surrounds our plot with theirs? Are we forced to build adjacent plots? Can we attack another player's plot with our credits?

It's a big map. I think your best bet is to walk really far and hope for the best. Or attempt to buy the plot from the player.

Hmmm so large profits could be gained by going to a town, buying a plot right next to it. Then forcing them to sell it to you? This hardly seems fair, especially now that PvP can be turned off it may become impossible to deal with a player who uses this tactic.

No doubt a solution will be developed if something like this becomes a problem.
