Can I still access my Realm after cancelling?

Yes. Your Realm stays active and accessible until the end of the current billing cycle. You will not lose access immediately upon cancellation.

Can I get a refund after cancelling?

Minecraft Realms does not offer refunds for unused days in the current billing period. Microsoft's policy is generally no partial refunds, though you can contact Minecraft Support to request a review in exceptional circumstances.

What happens to my Realm world data after I cancel?

You can download your world backup from the Realm before or shortly after the subscription ends. Mojang retains world backups on their servers for approximately 18 months after expiry. After that window, cloud copies are deleted. Downloaded worlds can still be played in single-player or on a private server.

Can I reactivate my Realm after cancelling?

Yes. You can resubscribe at any time from account.microsoft.com/services or through the Minecraft in-game menu. If your world backup is still within the 18-month retention window, it can be restored to a new Realm.

If I subscribed via mobile (iOS/Android), how do I cancel?

Subscriptions started on iOS must be cancelled through Apple: Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions > Minecraft > Cancel Subscription. Android subscriptions must be cancelled through Google Play: Profile icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Minecraft Realms > Cancel subscription.

Can I cancel directly inside Minecraft instead of the website?

Yes, Bedrock Edition users can cancel in-game: go to Settings > Subscriptions, find your Realms subscription, and tap Cancel. This method is available on Windows, console, and mobile Bedrock Edition only — not Java Edition.
