Play Tiny Takeover in Realms

Published: April 7, 2026 - View official source

Think you can handle even more cuteness? Impressive. I could barely tear myself away from my lazy panda nursery just to write this article. But here I am, ready to talk about some fun ways you can take the Tiny Takeover even further with Minecraft Realms. 

1. Baby mob adoption center 

Why not share the love – literally? Maybe your friend is more of a Creative player and is having a hard time tracking down baby mobs in your Survival realm. Or maybe you’re the one who’s still missing a warm baby pig from your collection? Set up a small adoption event on your realm and find the babies you’ve been looking for! You can even build a permanent center where players can put baby mobs up for adoption. Don’t forget to give them creative names using the craftable name tags! 

2. Baby mob photo scavenger hunt 

Have you seen all the baby mobs that Minecraft has to offer? Prove it! Set up a scavenger hunt where each player sets off in a different direction with the same quest: to take screenshots of as many baby mobs as possible. You can even set a time limit and award points for each mob. The prize? Maybe the winner can choose what everyone else uploads to Realms Stories! Or just gets more baby mobs. You really can’t go wrong here. 

3. Baby mob safari 

A more relaxed, collective version of the previous activity, the safari is exactly what it sounds like: a group of friends exploring together to see as many baby mobs as possible. Hop on a camel, a happy ghast, or your choice of horse, and uncover all the cuteness that Minecraft has to offer together. The memories practically make themselves. Plus, you’ll be happy you teamed up once it’s time to head to the Nether! 

4. Naming babies 

Naming can be tough! Many pets and even babies have gone by 'cat' or ‘lil’ guy’ for weeks until a name just felt right. But what are friends for if not to help each other out? Pay a visit to your friends’ base and give their baby mobs the cutest names you can think of. Or silly ones. Or ones that contain cryptic messages that lead to treasure... or a trap. 

Even more cuteness with Realms Plus and Marketplace Pass 

Looking for some Marketplace content to match your new companions? We’ve put together a selection of content that will make your cottagecore dreams come true, and it’s all included with Marketplace Pass and Realms Plus

It doesn’t get cuter than this! The Slice of Life add-on lets you build the cozy base of your dreams in any of your existing worlds, with beautiful decor, functional appliances, adorable pets that you can DRESS UP, cooking and gardening, and much more! Ride your bike together, host a picnic for your friends, or just invite them over for a cozy hang. 

Cakes & Bakes add-on by Some Game Studio

Trade with other bakers for resources, craft delicious recipes, build your own bakery, and deliver your baked goods to your friends! Oh, and did I mention that you can befriend your own RACCOON SIDEKICK?! Okay, I need to calm down, the cuteness is getting to me again. 

Pets Collection add-on by Wonder 

I may never have an IRL pet lion (and I reluctantly acknowledge it’s for the best), but the Pets Collection add-on lets me live that dream in any of my Minecraft worlds. In fact, you can have pretty much any pet you can imagine, from penguins and meerkats to monkeys and red pandas! Plus toys, beds, and accessories that are so cute, I just screamed at my desk. But everyone understood why when I explained it. 

How are you taking the Tiny Takeover even further? Will you bask in the cuteness with friends? Open the most adorable bakery with your bestie? But no pressure. I totally understand if you want to keep these tinies to yourself.
