Introducing the New Official Realm Hub Menu

Mojang has introduced a new Realm Hub menu in the Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 26.20 Changelog, giving Realm owners and members a more centralised place to manage and interact with their Realm.

The new Realm Hub is described as a "home base" for all things Realms and is accessible from the Realms Play screen. It brings together several Realm-related features that were previously spread across different menus, including world management, administrator tools, social features, activity tracking, and subscription controls.

This is an important update for Realm owners, as Realms management has often been split between separate menus for members, world settings, subscriptions, stories, and pack management. Realm Hub appears to be Mojang's attempt to make Realms feel more unified, organised, and easier to manage directly in-game.

What is Realm Hub?

Realm Hub is a new in-game Realms menu for Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

It acts as a central area where Realm owners and players can access important Realm features, including management tools, social features, player activity, and subscription options.

According to Mojang, Realm Hub is available from the Realms Play screen, meaning players should be able to reach it from the main Realms area rather than needing to search through separate settings screens.

It is important to note that this is Mojang's official in-game Realm Hub feature. It is separate from any community project or Discord server using a similar name.

Key Features

The new Realm Hub includes several major features:

Administrator Role

Realm owners can promote trusted players to help manage the Realm.

This means Realm owners are no longer expected to handle every management task alone. Trusted players can be given more responsibility to assist with managing the world, members, and settings.

For larger Realms, this could be especially useful, as active communities often need multiple trusted people helping with moderation, world changes, and general organisation.

Admin Log

Realm Hub includes an Admin Log, allowing actions taken by administrators to be tracked.

This is one of the most important additions because it gives Realm owners more accountability and visibility over management actions.

If administrators are helping manage a Realm, the owner needs to know what changes were made and who made them. An admin log helps prevent confusion, reduces the risk of abuse, and makes Realm management more transparent.

Edit World Screen

The Realm world editing screen has been redesigned.

Mojang says this screen is used for world changes, add-ons, and pack management. The changelog also notes that pack management in the Realm edit world screen has been migrated to OreUI.

This suggests that Mojang is continuing to modernise older Realms screens and move them into newer UI systems.

Story Feed

Realm Hub includes a Story Feed, described as a social hub for sharing screenshots and automatically celebrating major Minecraft milestones.

This builds on the existing Realms Stories system, where players can share moments from their Realm and view events from other members.

Realm Events can automatically highlight milestones, while screenshots and posts allow players to share progress, builds, discoveries, and memorable moments from their Realm.

Timeline

The Timeline feature lets players see who has been playing on a Realm over the last month.

This can help Realm owners and members understand activity patterns, see when players are most active, and keep track of how alive the Realm community is.

For community Realms, this could be useful for planning events, checking activity, or understanding whether a Realm is still actively used.

Subscription Management

Realm Hub also includes subscription management options.

This allows players to view and change their Minecraft Realms subscription from within the Realms area.

This is useful because subscription settings have historically been separate from other Realm management tools. Bringing them closer to the main Realm Hub may make the process clearer for owners.

Why This Matters

Realm Hub is one of the more important Realms updates because it changes how Realm management is organised.

Instead of having Realm features spread across different screens, Mojang is moving toward one central place where owners and members can manage the Realm, view activity, share stories, adjust settings, and handle subscriptions.

For Realm owners, the biggest changes are likely the Administrator Role and Admin Log. These features make Realms more practical for communities by allowing trusted players to help manage the Realm while still keeping actions visible and accountable.

For regular players, the Story Feed and Timeline make Realms feel more social. Instead of Realms being only a server list, the new menu helps show what players are doing, when they are active, and what milestones are happening in the world.

For larger Realm communities, this could make Bedrock Realms feel more like a proper shared community space rather than just a private world hosted by one owner.

Still Being Updated

Mojang notes that some screens, such as Member Management, are still waiting to be updated.

This means Realm Hub may not be fully complete yet. Some parts of the Realms experience may still use older screens while Mojang continues migrating features into the new layout.

Because of this, players should expect Realm Hub to keep changing in future Bedrock updates and previews.

Summary

Minecraft Bedrock 26.20 introduces Realm Hub, a new central menu for Realms management and social features.

It includes administrator roles, an admin log, redesigned world editing, Story Feed, Timeline, subscription management, Party support for Realms, and several Realms-related fixes.

The update appears to be part of Mojang's wider effort to modernise Realms management, improve accountability for Realm owners, and make Realms feel more social and community-focused.

MCBE News will continue to monitor Realm Hub as Mojang updates more screens and expands the feature in future Bedrock releases.
