Sorry, we only support Minecraft Java Edition.
No, you cannot. As mentioned before we are as pure and as close to vanilla Minecraft as possible. Therefore you can't, just like in plain survival, teleport around using commands. For fast transport we use Nether, where we also have our own Nether Hub with tunnels in each direction - North, South, East and West. Each player is invited to connect their Portal to their supported tunnel.
First off, we thank you for your interest in supporting the server! Having that said, donations are not required to play on the server or in any events, so do not feel pressured to do so if you are not able.
LightRealms is against providing an advantage to players who donate; however, we do want to thank our donors for their support, so check out the Patreon if you are curious about what you can receive as a donator.
Our Patreon charges you as soon as you donate. So if you want to do a one-time donation, you may donate and then cancel your Patreon subscription. One-time donators are still helpful and receive the same perks! Note that receiving your donor perk is not automatic. Please open a ticket in the #tickets channel to notify us when you donate!
Please open a ticket in the #tickets channel on discord to report any griefing or stealing.

On an SMP every player needs to do their part to ensure their area is not detrimental to server performance. Please consider these tips when building:
Keep villagers away from your main base area.
If you spend a significant amount of time at your base and have a lot of villagers loaded at once server performance is affected, especially at peak hours.
Use less redstone dust/pistons and more observers/powered rails. Light up your redstone!
Redstone dust, pistons, and many redstone components cause lag due to their lighting updates. Observers and powered rails are very lag-friendly. That's not to say that you can never use redstone dust, pistons, and those components; but if you can replace their functionality with observers, powered rails, or other lag-friendly alternatives, do so!
Lighting up redstone also prevents the lag from lighting updates that can, at times, grind the server to a halt.
Make use of entity cramming set to 12 rather than 24.
Many players use minecarts for entity cramming as they kill mobs quickly. While this is an efficient method, entity collisions prompt a lot of calculations for the server, which can quickly hurt performance. To combat this, entity cramming is set to 12, so use no more than 12 minecarts in your killing chambers.
Cover open hoppers with composters to minimize their performance impact.
The native server version is always up to date, unless we are doing in-between season or we are waiting for third party support for new Minecraft release. Currently we are on 1.19.1 native version.
You can get the download links by messaging @KingVarsi#3622. You might hurry as well, because we are not keeping any downloads for too long.
No, you can only play on LightRealms SMP with genuine Minecraft account.
Technically we don't support any claiming land plugins because we rely on maturity of our players. But you can mark your place of living on our by using command /dmarker add <marker-label> where marker-label is the name of your place that you desire. We usually use our IGN's for everyone else to find our place of living more quickly.
We don't support economy plugins either. We are as pure and as close to vanilla Minecraft as possible - more about plugins we use you can find in . Economy is fully player driven with diamonds being used as currency. We also have designated shopping district where you can buy pretty much anything you desire.
Donations go towards supporting server and domain costs. We are currently paying $60/month hosting from .
Covering hoppers with composters means they will check for items above them significantly less often.
