How to Cancel Minecraft Realms
Skycopia rates Minecraft Realms as easy to cancel, and you can do it yourself online.
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if Minecraft Realms bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.

Ready to cancel it yourself? Sky can walk you through it one step at a time — or just read the steps below.
Cancellation steps
- 1
Sign in at account.microsoft.com/services with the Microsoft account used to buy it → find Minecraft Realms (or Realms Plus) under Subscriptions → Cancel
- 2
Bought it through the Microsoft Store app instead? Open the Store → Subscriptions → find the Realms subscription → Manage → Cancel or turn off auto-renew
- 3
Or launch Minecraft on the same device/platform → Settings → Subscriptions → Cancel beneath the Realms entry — it redirects you to the store you originally subscribed through
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, with the right page open beside this one — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.

What should I watch out for when cancelling Minecraft Realms?
Realms has to be cancelled through the platform you actually subscribed on — Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, a mobile app store, or Microsoft Store — cancelling on a different one won't stop the billing. Bedrock Realms is $3.99/month (Realms Plus, which adds extra worlds and Marketplace content, is $7.99/month or $37.99 for 6 months); Java Edition Realms is $7.99/month either way. No prorated refund in most regions, but your world isn't deleted right away: the server goes offline at the end of the paid period, and Mojang keeps a backup you can export or resubscribe into for 18 months before it's permanently removed.
