FAQ

Server status (online/offline, player count, ping) is updated every few minutes through our monitoring sources. Each server card shows when it was last checked. Player history charts aggregate data over 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.

Click the IP address or copy button on any server to copy its connection address to your clipboard. Copy counts help measure a server’s popularity — the more players copy an IP, the higher it ranks in the Copies sort.

No — you can browse servers, copy IPs, and view live player counts without creating an account. Registering lets you vote for servers, like/dislike tags, and track your vote history.

Click the vote button on any server card or detail page. Each user can vote once per server per day. Votes count toward the server’s monthly ranking and are reset daily.

Each server has category tags (Survival, PvP, Skyblock, etc.). Logged-in users can like or dislike specific tags on a server to help fellow players judge how well a tag fits that server. Tag ratings appear as like/dislike counts under each tag.

Server listings are sourced from multiple public Minecraft server monitoring APIs. New servers are automatically discovered and added. If your server isn’t listed, it may appear once our monitoring sources detect it.

Yes. We use an offline IP geolocation database (MaxMind GeoLite2) for country detection — no IP addresses are sent to third parties. Authentication uses HttpOnly secure cookies. No tracking or analytics services are used beyond our own server-side monitoring.

We list servers running all Minecraft versions — from classic 1.8 to the latest releases. Use the Version filter on the homepage to find servers running a specific version or version range.

When every server refuses you, the cause is usually on your side: a version mismatch, a firewall blocking Minecraft, a wrong or expired account session, or a typo in the IP. Work through our connection troubleshooting guide for the full checklist.

It means your client couldn't reach the server in time — almost always a network, firewall, or wrong-address issue rather than a server problem. Double-check the IP and port, allow Minecraft through your firewall, and confirm the server is actually online on our list.

Your Microsoft/Mojang login token expired. Fully restart Minecraft (or log out and back into your Microsoft account) to fetch a fresh token. It has nothing to do with the server itself.

A whitelisted server only lets pre-approved players join. The owner or a moderator must add your exact username — there's no way to bypass it. Many whitelisted servers use an application form or Discord.

MOTD stands for Message of the Day — the text line shown under a server's name in your multiplayer list. Servers use it for their tagline, rules, or current event, and some platforms use it to verify ownership.

Vanilla means the unmodified, official game with no mods or plugins — just what Mojang ships. 'Semi-vanilla' keeps that feel but adds light server-side plugins like land claims and teleports.
