What Is Minecraft Realms?
Minecraft Realms is the offical way by Mojang to play with friends. It is paid monthly and let you host a private world. You dont need any tech skills to setup. It works smooth and always online.
What Is a Minecraft Server?
A Minecraft server is a custom world hosted by player or company. You can control everything from mods to player limits. Some are free some are paid. It is great for big communities or minigames.
Easy to Use or Custom?
Realms is very easy to start. Few clicks and your world is ready. But it has limited features and no big mod support. Servers are more complex to setup but offer full control. You can install plugins make rules and change world type.
Which One to Choose?
If you just want to play with 2 or 3 friends Realms is enough. Its safe simple and fast. If you plan to build large world host mini games or add mods then server is best. It gives you full freedom but need more effort.
