  • I didn't notice any mention of player cap on the site, what is the player cap?
    How many players can be invited at once?
    Is there a huge delay when joining if the server is empty?
    Is there an AFK timer?
    Basically, what are the differences between Aternos and Realms? I'm trying to get my friend to switch from realms to another server provider.

  • what is the player cap?

    There is no cap, you can set as many slots as you want.



    How many players can be invited at once?

    As many as you'd like.



    Is there a huge delay when joining if the server is empty?

    I honestly don't know what you mean with this. Usually, you instantly join a server, no matter whether no one is online or 15 players.



    Is there an AFK timer?

    Idle timeout is set to 10 minutes.



    Basically, what are the differences between Aternos and Realms?

    We're free, Realms is not. And Aternos is more customizable.
