New To Realms: Lions And Towers And Snares! Oh My!

We’re here with another batch of hot content for you to play on Realms for PC (we have to say “for PC” now, because we launched this awesome thing recently). Let’s get right to it!

We are the Rangers by Dragnoz, Samasaurus6, and Blockworks


Every so often, a Minecraft map comes along and raises the bar for all of the others. The creators of We are the Rangers have created an open world adventure, complete with quests, a fast travel system, and, using resource packs, tons of new animals. Learn about wildlife conservation, bring poachers to justice, and immerse yourself in the sounds of the savanna.

G.A.T.O.S. by Team Wooloo


No, this map isn’t a Spanish map involving cats (though that sounds like an interesting idea). G.A.T.O.S. stands for Get At The Other Side, and this series of building and crafting challenges present you with a simple objective: using the given resources, build, run, and jump your way across the gap.

Carrot Catcher by Gemoz




In this veggie-based minigame, your goal is to raid the farm’s field for as many carrots as you can carry. Grab powerups for a variety of effects, from collecting nearby dropped carrots, to making your opponent levitate for a few moments. The first player to hit the goal number of carrots wins!

Replica by Mlakuss


There are many skills required in Minecraft, but Replica makes you flex a totally different set of gameplay muscles. In this minigame, you’re shown a reference image, then you recreate that image as quickly as you can. Don’t be the last one to finish!

Western Dodge by Gemoz




If you make minigames in Minecraft, picking a theme can get the creative juices flowing, informing decisions about gameplay, level design, and more. In this case, our setting is the Wild West, where you’ve got tricky tumbleweeds to dodge, pesky pigs to catch, and the game lobby is a good ol’ fashioned saloon. Take some time to mosey on down to Western Dodge!

Don’t Go Insane by Datenegassie


Functioning as sort of a demo reel for wacky features, Don’t Go Insane takes what you know about Minecraft, and tosses most of it out. Are those stairs, or the way forward? Am I going straight, or up? Why do these red blocks kill me?! With a fresh style and interesting gameplay, this map should both challenge adventurers and inspire mapmakers.

Minecar Racing by McMakistein


Cars in Minecraft? Crazy! In reality, McMakistein’s command block wizardry has turned invisible pigs into these sweet racecars, which you and your friends can race through four different courses.

Oscilight: The Light Shadow by Dwittyy


Realms players have long asked for some worthy puzzle challenges, and that’s here now with Oscilight: The Light Shadow. This is a singleplayer challenge, packed full of light-themed puzzles. Prepare yourself for a challenge, as the difficulty ramps up quickly and will leave you scratching your head for answers!

A fresh start


The world spawns in Realms are designed to give experienced players a fun and different way to start their survival worlds. Here’s three that we think are pretty great!

Floral Ranch by Pe3tr and Twett




Amrath by Gemoz




Desert Nook by Nobleman, Paaaaaaat, and Vek




Weekend plans
