Minecraft:Server list

Template:For Minecraft includes an in-game server list for Minecraft:multiplayer in which users can join and save the Minecraft:servers they visit. Players can see if a server is online, check how many player slots it has, and how good the connection to the server is.

When first loading up the multiplayer list, the player receives a warning regarding online play not being rated. If the player wishes not to see this again, there is an option that disables the warning permanently.

Java Edition

The multiplayer server list in Java Edition lets players join and add servers.

The server list allows players to save a new server on the list, join an already existing one, or directly connect to a server by manually specifying the server address.

Servers appear on the list in a set order, which can be changed by hovering over a server icon and using the arrows to move the server up or down on the list. Alternatively, player can hold

Once a server is added, it appears on the list and contains four main elements:

1. REDIRECT Template:Visible anchor

Template:Redr and server title on the first row, which shows the server icon in 64x64 pixel size and the title specified by the player. The server icon can be specified by adding

Template:Redr image file into the Minecraft:server.jar's working directory. By default, if the server icon is not specified, it shows a grayscale pack.png as a fallback.

Template:Redr (often abbreviated as MOTD) on the second row, which shows a short message from the server. The message can be specified through

1. REDIRECT Template:Code

Template:Redr option in the Minecraft:server.properties, and supports the legacy formatting codes for text customization. By default, the MOTD is written as "A Minecraft Server".

• Status indicator on the top right, which shows the number of online players in the server, and a network bar indicator that shows how good the player's connection to the server; when hovering over the indicator, a tooltip shows the player's

The game automatically lists LAN-based servers at the bottom, usually containing the server's owner, world name, and address on the

The ping icons correspond to the following ping times:

Icon	Server ping time
width=20x20	Can't connect to server
width=20x20	Between 0 and 150ms
width=20x20	Between 150 and 300ms
width=20x20	Between 300 and 600ms
width=20x20	Between 600 and 1000ms
width=20x20	Above 1000ms

Bedrock Edition

The featured servers list in Bedrock Edition.

The "Other Server" list shows additional servers added by the player.

The server list essentially functions the same as Java Edition counterpart, except it has a separate section where players can join Minecraft:featured servers that have partnered with Mojang Studios.

Players can add external servers on the "Other Server" section. These servers are sorted by the most recently played first on the list. This feature is unavailable for console versions of Bedrock Edition.

When a server is selected, the right side of the screen provides detailed description about the server:

• For featured servers, it shows the server's banner alongside the ping strength and player count, and the next row shows the server's title. The second and third row are reserved for the server's description and activities.
  • The server activities are specified by the server operator themself, they usually show and promote minigames and unique features of the server itself.
• For external servers, the top header shows ping strength and player count, with bottom rows showing the server's name, address, and port.
  • The server's MOTD can be seen on the list under the server's name. Although shown on the client, the official Minecraft:Bedrock Dedicated Server does not provide an option to specify the server's MOTD. Instead, the MOTD can be specified using a third-party software, like GeyserMC.

LAN-based servers are shown on the "Worlds" tab instead.

The ping icons correspond to the following ping times:

Icon	Server ping time
width=20x20	Can't connect to server
width=20x20	Between 0 and 150ms
width=20x20	Between 150 and 300ms
width=20x20	Between 300 and 600ms

Public server list

Official Minecraft Server List

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote The Official Minecraft Server List is published by GamerSafer and Mojang Studios. It includes variety of servers for players to choose, such as minigames, SMPs, creative builds, and more. The website also includes server badges, which are awarded by GamerSafer, and show additional safety features they provide.

All servers listed on the website are required to comply with Minecraft Usage Guidelines (MUG) and End-user license agreement (EULA), and have been vetted by both GamerSafer and the Mojang Enforcement Team. They must also provide official contact information and state the purpose of the server.

Community server list

Several websites provide a place for server owners to publicly advertise their servers, listing IP addresses and other information about these servers. There were two sites of note (both defunct): the official Classic server list maintained by Mojang Studios and the public server list at the Minecraft Forums. Since Minecraft Forums has shut down their public server list as of June 27th 2018 the only alternative to find Minecraft Servers to play on Java Edition is through a public server list found online. There are many popular server lists that mirror how Minecraft Forums system worked when it was live.
