How to Cancel Minecraft Realms – End Your Subscription the Right Way

Tired of paying for your Minecraft Realm? Whether you’re switching servers or just taking a break, cancelling your Minecraft Realms subscription is quick—but only if you know where to look.

Here’s exactly how to cancel your Realm on Java Edition, Bedrock Edition, and via mobile so you can avoid unwanted charges.


🌐 Java Edition – Cancelling on Minecraft.net

If you’re using Minecraft: Java Edition, follow these steps:

  1. Visit: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/profile/
  2. Log in to your Minecraft/Microsoft account.
  3. Click on the “Realms” tab.
  4. Find your active subscription.
  5. Click “Cancel Subscription”.

🛑 Your Realm will stay active until the end of the billing period—but you won’t be charged again.


📱 Bedrock Edition – Cancelling via Marketplace Platform

Depending on where you subscribed (console, mobile, or PC), the process varies.

🧊 If you subscribed via Windows 10 (Bedrock):

  1. Open the Microsoft Store
  2. Go to Settings > Manage Subscriptions
  3. Locate Minecraft Realms
  4. Click Cancel Subscription

🎮 Xbox:

  1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/services
  2. Log in with your Xbox account
  3. Under “Minecraft Realms”, click Manage > Cancel.

📲 iOS (Apple Devices):

  1. Open Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions
  2. Tap on Minecraft Realms
  3. Tap Cancel Subscription

🤖 Android (Google Play):

  1. Open the Google Play Store
  2. Tap Menu > Subscriptions
  3. Select Minecraft Realms
  4. Tap Cancel

🧠 Important Notes

  • ✅ You can still access your Realm until the end of your billing period.
  • ⛔ Cancelling doesn’t delete your Realm—it simply prevents future payments.
  • 💾 Worlds are saved. You can download your Realm world to keep playing offline!

🏁 Wrapping Up
