What are the best Maps for Minecraft Realms?

Below, I have provided you with a list of the best maps I found for Minecraft Realms, all of which are available on the Realms Worlds tab under the World Templates section. You can have a maximum of three Worlds loaded at once in Minecraft Realms; to add one when you have the maximum, make a World download/backup and load the Map.

RodRun 2.0 Minigame

RodRun 2.0 is a minigame for Minecraft Realms in which you have to use your fishing rod to kill your enemies by hooking them. Players can use randomly-generated power-ups to gain an edge in battle. It features 12 combat arenas and multiple game modes, including Free-For-All and Team Deathmatch. This map also offers hidden games (e.g. space games, easter eggs, boat race, and more).

Sora’s Fortress

Being able to travel through a strange land and discover things is one of the coolest aspects of Minecraft, and Sora's Fortress is proof. Its classic castle design is so expansive and epic, it begs to be explored. Its beautiful aesthetic and many hidden secrets don't hurt matters, either.

Twisted Grove

This exciting map brings players to the wacky world of Twisted Grove, a maze-like fantasy world full of strange and beautiful vistas. You can explore this beautiful World Template with your friends or stay there yourself, uncovering its magical wonders in the process.

Japanese Villa

Minecraft begs you to build classic Japanese architecture with its varieties of wood and stonework, and this Japanese Villa map has done the hard work for you. Starting you off in an incredible world before you've even stepped a single foot in the Japanese Villa world, is a perfect start for a Samurai-themed Minecraft adventure.

Escape World

Escape World is an adventure map for Minecraft Realms where you and your friends must find your way to an exit! As soon as you enter the watery portal, you will be transported to the world which you have to go through. You will crawl through tight spaces and find hidden triggers to open secret doors while avoiding traps and doing parkour stunts.

Underground Capital

Inspired by the addition of Nether Biomes, this Realms map uses all the new blocks added by that update to create some truly fantastical worlds. The Nether in Minecraft hints at a lost Pigmen civilization in the base game; this Realms map brings that civilization to life again.

Lost Islands

Lost Islands takes you on a sea adventure in Minecraft Realms. You will visit strange and beautiful islands, search for treasures and explore their secrets, interact with the indigenous population of local villagers, and more. Take up a ship helm and sail to an adventure with your friends for additional fun!

Frosty Wind

While lush greenery and beautiful deserts are common scenes in Minecraft, sometimes you want something a little more... chilly. The arctic tundra of Frosty Wind changes the temperature of your standard Minecraft starting location, giving you a snowy and frosty landscape to explore.

Elytron is a minigame for Minecraft realms inspired by the famous bike race game from the movie Tron. It features multiple maps where you can launch yourself in the air and fly, leaving a light wall behind you. The goal is to make your opponents crash into your light wall while you avoid theirs.

Canopy Dream

Building a treehouse escape is an ambitious Minecraft starter base, but one that you can skip thanks to this fantastic Minecraft Realms map. Take a journey into the jungles of Minecraft from your start in a hidden tropical base with the Canopy Dream map. Instant pet Ocelot is sadly not included.
