Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are Minecraft Servers?

    Minecraft servers are online worlds you join to play with other people instead of playing alone. Each server has its own game mode, rules, and community, so you might build freely on a creative server, gather resources on a survival or SMP server, play skyblock, compete in minigames, or fight other players on a PvP server. You connect by entering the server's IP address in Minecraft's multiplayer menu, and most servers are free to join.

  • What is a Minecraft Server List?

    A Minecraft server list is a directory that gathers Minecraft servers in one place, so you do not have to hunt for server IP addresses across forums, videos, or social media. Each listing shows helpful details before you join, such as the server name, description, live player count, game modes, version, and vote count. You can browse or filter by survival, creative, SMP, skyblock, minigames, and more to narrow the results down to the type of server you actually want to play.

  • How to Play Minecraft Servers?

    First copy a server's IP address from a Minecraft server list like this one. Open Minecraft Java Edition, click Multiplayer, then Add Server. Paste the IP into the address field, give the server any name you like, and save it. Select it from your server list and click Join Server. Bedrock players add servers the same way under the Servers tab. Once you are connected you can start playing right away with everyone else online.

  • How to Choose a Minecraft Server?

    Start by deciding what you want to play, since a good survival server and a good PvP server are rarely the same place. From there, check the player count to see how active the community is, read the description and rules, and look at how recently the server was updated. A server ranked higher on our Minecraft server list usually has more votes from real players, which is a good sign it is worth your time. If you are unsure, try a few. Joining costs nothing, and you will know within a session whether it fits.

Minecraft Categories

Categories group Minecraft servers by the kind of gameplay they offer, so you can go straight to what you are after. Build without limits on Creative servers, gather resources and stay alive on Survival servers, or fight other players on PvP servers. Browse the categories below to find the type of server that matches how you like to play.
