About the best minecraft servers
Every server on this list is pinged directly over the Minecraft Server List Ping protocol — the same request your client makes on the multiplayer screen — so the player count next to a server is what you will actually find when you join, not a number its owner typed in. Offline servers are marked as offline rather than quietly ranked as if nothing happened. The list covers survival and SMP, skyblock, factions, prison, towny, anarchy and minigame networks, from 20-slot whitelisted communities to networks with tens of thousands online. Owners who install Votifier get vote rewards delivered in-game the instant you vote, which is what the reward badge on a row means.
Frequently asked questions
How do live player counts work?
We query each server directly over the Minecraft Server List Ping protocol every few minutes — the same request your game client makes on the multiplayer screen.
What is Votifier and do I need it?
Votifier is a plugin that lets us notify your server the instant someone votes, so rewards are delivered in-game immediately. It is optional but strongly recommended.
