Everything players need to know about Minecraft Realms Stories

Story Feeds

The Story Feed tab of Minecraft Realms Stories can be used by players to post screenshots from play sessions, make text posts that other members can react to and respond to, and catch up on different Realm Events.

Realm Events are, according to Mojang, posts that will be automatically made whenever a new adventuring milestone is hit. The examples given include defeating Minecraft's Ender Dragon boss, discovering any of Minecraft's many different biomes, or riding a mob, such as a pig, off a cliff. It will be interesting to see just what else will pop up as a Realm Event for everyone to see.

Timelines

The next tab available within Minecraft Realms Stories is the Timelines tab. This might be the most interesting out of the different Realms Stories offerings, at least in terms of the information it offers. It keeps a running live track of the server's history, breaking down exactly who was playing on any given day, at what time they played, and how long they played.

This will make for super interesting statistics to look back on after one sets up a shared and super-sized Minecraft survival base. Being able to see how often everyone logged on and at what times the Realm was most active may also make it easier to plan group activities in the future.

The Members tab

The final tab available through Minecraft Realms Stories is the Members tab. It contains a list of all the members of a Realm. This is where admins are able to manage the member list, but it will also show if a player is online.

It will come in handy for impromptu adventures, which is convenient as Minecraft's experimental trial chambers would be perfect for this.
