Minecraft Developer CornerHardMC announced a “Realms Hub” UI overhaul coming to Minecraft Preview that consolidates Realm Worlds, Manage Realm, and Realm Stories (including Timeline and Members) into a single tabbed page for easier management. Alongside this, a new Party system is expected soon, allowing up to 15 players with party chat and leader-based world joining, aiming to streamline multiplayer coordination and improve the overall Realms social experience.

On March 13, 2026, Minecraft Developer CornerHardMC made a post on X (formerly Twitter) announcing a Realm Settings UI overhaul. The page is titled Realms Hub (not affiliated with discord.gg/realmhub). The feature is available on Minecraft Preview and may release alongside the Administrator role and Parties system.

From the screenshot provided by CornerHard, the overhaul seems to focus on consolidating the Realm information pages. The following have been moved to one page:
- Realm Worlds
- Manage Realm
- Includes all options inside the Manage Realm page
- Realm Stories
- Includes Timeline and Members
This change will streamline Realm management by keeping everything on one page with tabs, rather than the current system, which spreads information across multiple menus.
Parties are expected to release soon, possibly alongside the UI changes and Administrator role, allowing users to move between Realms and worlds together seamlessly. Below are the features currently available to Parties in Minecraft Preview:
- Up to 15 members
- Invite only or open to join
- Party chat
- Separate from world chat and carries over between worlds
- Party members only follow the party leader into Realms and worlds
- Party members cannot connect to Realms they are not a member of
Like the Realm Settings UI overhaul, the Party system seems to focus on streamlining the experience, while also encouraging multiplayer play and giving the Social menu more to do.
