Minecraft Pocket Edition is definitely a fun game, even when you’re playing all by yourself is an amazing experience, however, things start to get really interesting and more exciting when you start playing online with other people. Minecraft PE is available for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and Amazon Kindle Fire, and you can play online for free on every single version without having to install other apps or jailbreaking your device as long as you have the game updated to the latest version.
There are basically two ways to log in and play Minecraft: Pocket Edition online, the first and most popular option is by connecting to an external server, and the second option is by using Minecraft Realms which is an official and also paid service run by Mojang that allows you to easily set up, access servers, and play online 24/7. Keep in mind that you don’t have to actually get Realms to access Mojang’s servers, if you have a friend who already has a Realms account, then that person can invite you so that you can start using the official Minecraft PE servers for free.
