Marketplace Pass and Realms Plus: August 2026
Official source by James Nouch ·

August’s Marketplace Pass and Realms Plus refresh mixes hardcore survival, cozy houses, horror add-ons, builder tools, texture packs, skins, and spooky Character Creator pieces. Here is a shortened tour of roughly half the featured catalog in original words.
RLCraft Bedrock Edition V1.2 by Honeyfrost is the month’s tough-survival headline: gathering basics is harder, mobs hit harder around the clock, and a deep leveling loop rewards players who survive long enough to grow into it.
Craftable City by Lifeboat leans the other way — instant urban spectacle where city pieces can spring up fast for players who want a gleaming playground instead of a brutal grind.
Pale Garden House by Overtales Studio drops stylish furnished homes into the eerie pale garden, so you can nest somewhere fashionable while creakings still haunt the outdoors. Cozy Camp House by ThunderAy keeps the calm vibe with rustic-chic countryside living, a pool, and even a target range.
Modern Mansion by Dodo Studios is the big decompress option: a huge furnished mansion and multi-level pool for anyone who just got deleted by RLCraft and needs soft lighting for a while.
On the add-on side, Huggy & Friends by Spark Universe turns friendship into horror with chase encounters against Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs, The Doctor, and more. Warpstones by Mythicus is the opposite mood — multiplayer-friendly teleport points and player jumps for quick travel.
Uncrafter+ 2.1 by Dalibu Studios breaks crafted blocks back into ingredients and plays nicely with many other add-ons when you need an undo button. More Blocks 3.0 by RareLoot piles on 80-plus new blocks across more than a thousand texture variations for ambitious builders.
Auto Factory by Team Metallurgy focuses on conveyor belts, funnels, magnets, and redstone-friendly automation so gathering and crafting can run with less busywork. Blocks Update by Radium Studio goes even wider with thousands of blocks and furniture pieces that cooperate with many resource packs.
Auto Farming by Block Perfect Studios grows crops in clean glass setups for tidy auto-harvest farms. Food Expansion by Mine-North adds dozens of dishes, new crops, and farming vehicles for players who want cooking and countryside logistics in one pack.
Texture fans get Excalibur by Syclone Studios for a full medieval paint job across blocks, mobs, and UI, plus Vanilla 8x by Giggle Block Studios for a stripped-back low-resolution look.
Skin packs include Pastel Colors HD by Wonder with eight soft pastel looks, Mermaids by CupcakeBrianna with eleven detailed mermaid styles, and Adventurers by Gamefam with eight outdoorsy explorer outfits.
Character Creator odds and ends round out the spooky aisle — RGB skeleton pieces from CubeCraft Games, Dark Scary Wings from Street Studios, glowing fire hands from Horizon Blocks, and Abyss Feet from Meraki. Check Marketplace Pass or Realms Plus for the full August shelf if something here sounds like your next download.

Session vibe
August Pass night is a late-summer shelf refresh — new maps and cosmetics rotating in while you still have warm evenings to actually play them. Cue a bright stroll mix, open the Pass list once, and treat it like packing a weekend bag: three keepers max, not a full closet dump. Realms Plus hosts can turn it into a group vote night and let chat pick what stays enabled.
Player checklist
- Shortlist two maps and one cosmetic before installing anything so August storage does not balloon overnight.
- Demo Pass titles in Creative on a throwaway world before they land on a shared Realm.
- If you use Realms Plus, agree which August packs stay on for the whole month so friends are not surprised mid-session.
Listen while you play
Suggested vibe: golden-hour village stroll with soft market chatter pads — browsing energy, not boss drums.
