The Official Minecraft Server List, also known as FindMCServer.com, was created in partnership and collaboration between GamerSafer and Mojang to celebrate the diversity of the Minecraft multiplayer scene.

This server list was developed before GamerSafer acquired Minehut and launched in public beta in April, 2023, then later launched officially with a public announcement on November 7th, 2023. It features an advanced search and filter system, plus servers that have been reviewed by both the GamerSafer and Mojang server teams to be MUG and EULA compliant. Optional Badges are awarded to some servers for taking extra steps to ensure player safety and great community management.


Servers

The FindMCServer has a dedicated page to view all the servers added to the website. Here, players can browse servers to find ones to play.

Sorting

The servers page allows you to sort by many different values. Below is a list of all the sorting options available on the website. You can find a link to this page here.

Favorites

The FindMCServer has a favoriting feature that allows users to favorite a server and view them on their account. To favorite a server, you first need to create an account. Then visit the page of a server you want to favorite and press the heart button. Users can favorite up to 10 servers per account.

Voting

Like all server lists, the FindMCServer has a voting feature that allows players to vote for a server to support them on the site. To vote for a server, visit the page of a server you want to vote for and then press the "Vote" button. Then enter in your IGN and press Vote and it will be sent off to the server. If you are logged into the site, it will automatically fetch your IGN from the Microsoft account that you logged into. You are able to vote once per day per server and voting resets at midnight UTC+0.

On Minehut, you can vote on FindMCServer to earn 10 credits and 5 gems. You can find a link to Minehut's FindMCServer page here.

Events

The FindMCServer website has a dedicated page for server events. The current events and events starting soon are shown on the main page. You can also view a calendar of all upcoming events on the events page.

On the events calendar, you can filter by event type and join type. The different event types are Community, Tournament, Feature, Stream, In Person, and Holiday. The different join types are Public, Register, and Invite Only.

It is free to add events to the website but you can optionally purchase a paid event event to support the website. When there aren't enough paid events to be displayed on the front page, it will fallback to free events.

Badges

FindMCServer's Badge system simplifies your search for exceptional servers that cater to the interests of players of all ages, including families and children. Badges are icons awarded by GamerSafer to Minecraft servers who showcase their work and commitment to safe and enjoyable experiences. Each Badge represents a strong commitment to upholding required standards and servers can have more than one Badge.

There are currently 5 Badges available for servers to collect, and there are plans to introduce more with different focuses in the future. For more information on these badges, visit the official badges page here.
