Alternatives to Mods in Minecraft Realms

However, this isn’t the end of the world if you have a Minecraft Realms world and run mods. Instead, you have several options.

The first is to enjoy the add-ons and marketplace maps that all Realms players can enjoy. Meanwhile, if you’re a Java edition player, you can download and play many minigames and custom maps directly in the Minecraft client.

The other option is to start your own server! Home-brew Minecraft servers are something that has been around since the very beginning of the game. Once you’re the server admin, you can add as many mods to the game as you like. Modding freedom awaits!
