Mojang has released not one or two but twelve new realm maps for the Minecraft Java Edition.

For those unaware, Minecraft realms are a subscription-based service using which players can get their private servers. They are excellent for playing with friends.

There are many different custom maps with mini-games that players can choose to play on their realms. Realm community map makers create these custom maps. Maps released today were created to please the pillagers. Therefore most maps use crossbows for combat.

Dungeon of the Arbalist

This Realm map was created by an independent map-making team called Command Realm. Minecrafters get to play a mini-game where they have to use crossbows to fight their opponents on this map.

It also has an upgrade system for improving the crossbows. Players can unlock a dungeon by finding treasures. There's also a lobby filled with pillagers to go along with the theme.

This map was created by YEGGS. It features wave-based combat and like the previous map, players need to use crossbows to defend themselves or fight back. There's also a cool feature in the map that makes the arrows explode when two of them collide.

Heart Rush 2

This map is the second part of the Heart Rush map created by CROWDFORD. There are big arenas in this map and a skill system to ensure players do not have to battle against someone more skilled. Heart rush 2 has a new feature as well that lets players create their own skills. This is one of the best maps for PvP battles.
