Minecraft fans rejoice, as Mohjang has just announced that its smash hit game Realms is now available in North America for all PC owners.

For those unfamiliar, Minecraft Realms is a paid service that allows fans of the genre to set up an online world that can only be accessed by an approved list of players.

Realms makes it easier for Minecraft fans to play with their friends only and does not require players to set up LAN networks, configure IPs, or make any changes to ports.

Minecraft Realms is available for €10 / $10 per month and only needs to be paid by the hosting player. The service is offered in 1, 3, or 6-month packages and customers may get a discount if they choose a longer subscription.

Aside from North America, Minecraft Realms is available in lots of other countries. Here is the complete list of countries where you can play Minecraft Realms:

Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Great Britain, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, North America, Norway, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, The Åland Islands, The Cayman Islands, The Faroe Islands, The Isle of Man, The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, and The United Arab Emirates.
