Questions about this server
What is the IP address for Vanilla Realms?
The address for Vanilla Realms is play.vanillarealms.com. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.
Is Vanilla Realms online right now?
Not at our last check. Vanilla Realms stopped replying to our pings; the last time it answered was 2026-10-08 12:39 UTC. Servers do come back, so it is worth trying again later.
What Minecraft version does Vanilla Realms run?
Vanilla Realms reports version 1.26. Matching your client to that version is the usual fix when a server refuses the connection.
Can Java and Bedrock players both join Vanilla Realms?
Yes. Vanilla Realms answered us on the Bedrock protocol as well as Java, so the same address works from a phone, a console and a PC. Bedrock players still need to enter the port separately.
How many players are on Vanilla Realms?
40 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 40 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 197. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.
Where is Vanilla Realms hosted?
The address for Vanilla Realms resolves to a machine in United States. Players far from there should expect a longer round trip, which usually shows up as delayed block breaking rather than as a disconnect.
Is Vanilla Realms free to join?
Yes, joining Vanilla Realms costs nothing beyond owning Minecraft. Some servers additionally allow offline-mode accounts and some do not — the server decides that, and we do not resell anything.
