Minecraft has made a big splash in the gaming world, being a breakthrough indie title that's sold millions. They've introduced numerous updates and brought it to the Xbox 360 and mobile devices. Now, Mojang is taking another step, introducing a new optional subscription service called "Realms".
Realms allows subscribers to have their own, private Minecraft world, sort of like a server. It'd give control over who and who could not enter their world. The service, according to Mojang CEO Carl Manneh, is geared towards parents who don't want to play server administrator on their kids' Minecraft worlds.
Manneh also went on to highlight possibly adding a new feature to add mods to their world that are guaranteed to not crash, to provide a simpler way of managing your world and mods.
Subscription fees will be between $10 and $15, according to Mojang.
