How to cancel Minecraft Realms Plus subscription

There is always something new and exciting to discover in Minecraft. While players can create almost anything they can dream up, they can also purchase content from the Minecraft Marketplace.

The items available in the marketplace can be anything, from different worlds and skins to texture packs that dramatically change how the game looks. While players can always buy new worlds, they can also get them as part of a Realms Plus subscription. The service provides access to 150+ items in the marketplace for free.

Sometimes, however, the only thing better than building a Minecraft world is having one already built and ready to go. Being able to hop into fantasy worlds that one can explore with friends and family is part of what makes the game such an amazing experience.

A Realms Plus subscription is not free, and players may not be using all of the benefits. In this case, canceling the subscription may seem like the right thing to do.
