Xbox Game Pass Ultimate/Minecraft Realm Subscription

Hey Mr P

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are inquiring about using a Realm on Minecraft.

Firstly, You will need an Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription to play Realms on an Xbox One console.

Secondly, there are two different types of Realms subscription, one for
Minecraft found on mobile, VR devices, Nintendo Switch consoles, Xbox consoles and Windows 10 computers consoles and one for
Minecraft on a PC (using the Java Edition)

I would recommend that you check out the article that covers
Minecraft Realms to find any other additional info you seek in regards to this.

I hope this was of some use to you.

Could you elaborate on the subject a little bit more? What kind of plan is it asking you about exactly? I'm judging from it being Minecraft, your world may be on a Realm server and it is asking you to renew the subscription to the Realm?

A few more questions. Do you have Xbox Live Gold or perhaps Xbox Game Pass, Minecraft is available through Game Pass as well... so if you had that and then didn't renew the subscription that could prohibiti you from accessing the game and the worlds.

I'm willing to lean on the bet that your world on a Realms or you have the game through Game Pass. I would recommend checking out your services and subscriptions page, as well as this FAQ on Realms.

Thanks for that information. As per your first screenshot, your Minecraft Realms next billing will be on Feb 23, 2023 while your Game Pass Ultimate will be on May 14, 2023. However, on your 2nd and 3rd screenshot, your Game Pass Ultimate has already expired on Nov 14, 2022 while your Minecraft realms expired on Jan 3, 2023.

Kindly make sure that you are signed in to the correct account with your active subscriptions and try turning off their auto-renewal online by following the steps above.

Hi Rupert,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We understand you have issue with access to Minecraft. Is it possible the subscription you had and it expired was Ultimate game pass? As this subscription includes gold, and game pass. As Minecraft is on the game pass
subscription. Then when you renewed Xbox live gold, you no longer have game pass so unable to access the game. You can check subscriptions and see if the ultimate is there and when it expired.

Thanks,

Brad

Hello, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

As an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, you have access to a wide variety of games on both console and PC. However, it's important to note that Minecraft Java Edition is not included in the Xbox Game Pass library.

Minecraft Java Edition is a separate version of the game that is available for purchase directly from the Minecraft website. It is not included as part of the Xbox Game Pass subscription, even with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

To play Minecraft Java Edition, you would need to purchase it separately through the official Minecraft website. The cost of the game is not covered by the Xbox Game Pass subscription. Once you purchase Minecraft Java Edition, you will have permanent access to the game, regardless of your Xbox Game Pass subscription status.

Keep in mind that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate provides access to a vast library of games across console, PC, and cloud gaming, but the specific titles available can change over time. It's always a good idea to check the Xbox Game Pass catalog to see the current list of games included with your subscription.

I hope this clarifies the situation regarding Minecraft Java Edition and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!

Best regards.
