Minecraft trailers & creator highlights
Watch the official Chaos Cubed and Tiny Takeover trailers, then a widely watched Dream Manhunt challenge. Explore new game features and a different way to play with friends.
Videos belong to their creators. Examples may use custom rules, mods or older releases. Check individual listings for current server features and access. The YouTube player loads when you press play.
Which edition are you playing?
The edition shown in your game determines which connection details you need. Friends using different editions should look for explicit crossplay support.
Java Edition
Use the Java directory for a Java client on Windows, macOS or Linux. Check the full game version and whether the community needs a particular modpack.

Look for Bedrock support and the supplied address and port. Windows and mobile can use custom server entries; console access needs an additional check.

All game modes Find a game mode that fits
Tags describe different parts of a server. A Survival community can also have an economy and quests; a network may put several modes behind one address.

New to server lists? Four terms worth knowing
- SMP
- Survival multiplayer: a shared survival world. The label does not specify claims, PvP rules or how much the game is modified.
- Whitelist
- You need approval before joining. Read the application instructions and arrange access before your group plans a session.
- Modpack
- A collection of mods. Use the exact pack and release the owner specifies; matching only the Minecraft version may not be enough.
- PvE
- Player versus environment: challenges involving mobs or the world. Check griefing and land-protection rules separately.
Choose a community you will want to return to
Two servers can share the same tags and feel very different. Open a few listings and compare the decisions that affect your time, your friends and your progress.
Agree on the commitment
A permanent base needs clear land protection and reset rules. A weekly group needs suitable event times. A quick session needs a queue that starts and a match your party can enter together.
Check the starting experience
Find out whether a newcomer can join the activity immediately. Whitelists, pack downloads, equipment unlocks and team requirements can turn an intended short visit into a longer setup.
Try it at your normal play time
Look at the mode you actually want, not just the network total. See how questions are answered and whether the chat and rules suit your group. A smaller community may offer the experience you are looking for.

Questions about choosing a Minecraft server
How do I find the best Minecraft server for me?
Decide what you want to keep doing after the first session: building a base, progressing with a team or playing short matches. Then check compatibility and the rules that could undo that progress. Try a session at your normal play time before choosing a long-term home. The first result is not automatically the best fit.
Can friends using different editions join the same community?
Look for a listing that supports both Java and Bedrock, then confirm that the particular game mode accepts both. Each player needs the connection details for their edition. Console access needs a separate check; a Bedrock badge alone does not mean a console can add that custom address.
Does a high player count mean my chosen game will be busy?
Not necessarily. A network can report players across several worlds or modes. Check the lobby or queue for the activity you want, at the time you expect to play. Counts also change between status checks, so treat the number as a snapshot.
What costs or access requirements should I check?
Read whether the community requires an application, whitelist approval or paid access, and whether optional purchases affect the mode you want. A directory listing does not establish those terms. Confirm them before organizing a group session or buying a rank.
What should I do during my first session?
Read the rules and welcome information, locate the help channel, and test the activity you came for. On a building server, learn protection before storing valuables. On a competitive server, try an ordinary match before committing to ranked progression. Notice whether the community is one you enjoy spending time with.
