No Realms Button Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know the mod is actually working?
Open the main menu and look where the Realms button normally sits. If it's gone, the mod is loaded and working. If it's still there, check that the mod file is in your mods folder and that you launched the correct modded profile.
Does this mod remove Realms entirely or just the button?
It only removes the button from the main menu. The Realms feature itself is untouched, so anything that references Realms elsewhere still works.
Will this mod work on a server?
It's a client-side mod, so it only needs to be installed on your own game. Servers don't need it, and players without it will still see the Realms button.
Can I use this with modpacks?
Yes, it works alongside modpacks since it only changes the main menu. Just drop it into the modpack's mods folder, or add it through your launcher's mod management.
Why is the Realms button still showing after I installed the mod?
The most common cause is launching the wrong profile or having another mod that re-adds the button. Make sure the mod is in the correct mods folder for the version you're launching and that no menu-editing mod is overriding it.
Does this mod affect performance?
No, it's a tiny cosmetic change to the main menu and has no measurable impact on gameplay performance. It doesn't touch world loading, rendering, or networking.
Will this break other mods that add buttons to the main menu?
It generally plays fine with other menu mods, but if two mods edit the same button layout you may see overlapping or missing buttons. If that happens, check the load order or remove the conflicting menu mod.
How do I get the Realms button back if I change my mind?
Simply remove the mod file from your mods folder and restart the game. The button returns the next time you open the main menu.
Does it work on both client and singleplayer worlds?
Yes, it only changes the main menu, so it applies regardless of whether you're playing singleplayer or joining a server. No world-side changes are made.
Is this mod compatible with other main menu mods like Mod Menu or Custom Main Menu?
It usually works alongside them, but mods that fully replace the main menu may hide or override the button removal. If the Realms button reappears, the other menu mod is likely rebuilding the screen.
