Realms Plus: August 2023 (2024)

Ah, summer. That time of year people really want you to get into running. They must mean for president? Either way, I’d say give we give it a go. Because this month’s Realms Plus has 17 new pieces of content that will have you exploring all kinds of running: running wild, running jokes, running water – you name it! And yes, that also means memes, mermaids, and monsters. On your marks. Get set. Go!

DINOSAUR WORLD BY MINE-NORTH

What’s better than running wild? Running wild with dinosaurs! Travel back to a prehistoric world and explore its vibrant biomes, extinct mobs, and forgotten relics. The T-Rex is still not the most approachable, but you can attempt to befriend the other ten dinosaur species or create your own pack through the multiplayer feature. Either way, it’ll be a heart-racing adventure into the lost era of giant reptiles.

Prefer furry friends? Then head over toPets: Dogs by Everbloom Gamesand its dog sanctuary where you can snuggle up with ten different breeds of puppies instead.

MERMAID LIFE BY EVERBLOOM GAMES

I know I said we’d be running but put those running shoes down for a second. Why? Because in Mermaid Life by Everbloom Games you don’t have feet! Instead, you dive into the depths of the sea and use your customizable mermaid tail to explore the vast reefs, hidden treasures, and ancient aquatic ruins. This ocean biome is filled with new underwater creatures, like your noble steed the seahorse, so catch a wave, get exploring, and enjoy that calming sound of running water.

Unless you’re in the depths of Underwater Horror by Everbloom Games where horrifying sea monsters have escaped from their cages and are out to get you… Just keep swimming, I guess! Or quickly climb aboard Cruise Ship Roleplay by GoE-Craft to enjoy a life of luxury instead. No icebergs in sight! Or just stick to landbound cruising in custom cars with Cars City! by Pickaxe Studios.

BACKROOMS BY SNAIL STUDIOS

Okay, if must get some cardio in, we’ll need proper motivation too. In Backrooms by Snail Studios, you’ve opened a secret portal into a place with plenty of off-limit areas and dark backrooms. You might not have permission to enter, but you’ve got your hazmat suit on so who’s to stop you? Hmmmm…. how about jump scares, monsters, and all the creeeeeepy sounds? Hope you’re ready to run – for your life!

If hidden rooms are your thing but you’re hoping to make more pleasant discoveries, then try Secret Bookshelf Base by Razzleberries. Here you’ll discover everything from fairytale worlds to secret bases, just pull out a book and see where it takes you! Or cut corners and upgrade your gameplay with some serious hacking skills in Ultimate Hacker Base by Dodo Studios. After all that hard work, enjoy a life in comfort with Mega Redstone House by Overtales Studio where your mansion is decked out to the nines with redstone contraptions.

MEMES BY PIXELUSION

Me, a running joke? You bet. With the iconic skin pack Memes by Pixelusion we get to take on the Overworld dressed as one of our favorite internet gags. Just picture it: riding a camel into the sunset as Dancing Banana! Or taking on a hoard of creepers as Doge? Such epic! Much cool.

If you’re more of the hero type, then zoom into the world of Mob Heroes by Spectral Studios where the Overworld is in trouble and only you can save it! On the other hand, maybe you want to step out of the limelight and go unnoticed for a bit? Then Bedroom Hide and Seek by Tristan Productions is your perfect escape.

SKYBLOCK ISLAND BY PICKAXE STUDIOS

Don’t you just love a survival challenge where you run the risk of imminent death? For our final stint, we head high above the clouds to Skyblock Island by Pickaxe Studios, where you’re tasked with crafting your own ecosystem from scratch using the limited resources of your tiny piece of land. Just don’t get too close to the edge! Here, the sky is literally the limit.

I see that pep in your step! Put it to use in more parkour challenges with Parkour Speedrun by Diluvian and Parkour Dimensions by 4KS Studios. Then let’s finish this race off with Find the Button: Rainbow Mode by 4KS Studios where we do a victory lap through all colors of the rainbow in search of 24 buttons.

Okay, that’s it. I’ve officially run out of running jokes.
