Finding what’s the worst that could happen can be a challenge with the potential reward of collaborative builds, PvP areas, creative challenges and friends.

Finding the right Minecraft server for you
Whether you're looking to gather and trade resources in survival, create a role-playing persona or jump into action packed mini-games, there are servers out there for you. We recommend filtering by the nearest country. The closer you physically are to the server, the less lag you're going to have in the game. After that, you can narrow by category or search for keywords that match what you're looking for in a multiplayer experience. Depending on your gaming preference you may prioritize an older established server or perhaps you want to help start a brand new world with an ambitious server owner. Ultimately, you won't know if the server is right until you join.
