Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Vanilla Minecraft server?
We order Vanilla servers by the votes players cast this month, so the leader moves. The current pick sits at the top of this page.
What is a Vanilla Minecraft server?
A vanilla server runs the game as it comes. No custom items, no economy, no ranks. Semi-vanilla adds the minimum needed to keep a public world usable, usually claims and a home command.
What is a semi-vanilla server?
A server that keeps vanilla mechanics intact but adds a small set of quality of life plugins, most often land claiming, home and teleport commands, and chat moderation. Game mechanics such as crafting, mob behaviour and redstone are left alone.
Will vanilla farm designs work on these servers?
On pure vanilla, yes. On semi-vanilla it depends on which plugins are installed, since anything that alters spawning, hoppers or entity ticking can quietly break a design. Ask in the server Discord before building something large.
How do I join a Vanilla Minecraft server?
Copy the IP address of the server you want. Open Minecraft, click Multiplayer, then Add Server. Paste the address into the server address field, click Done, then select the server and press Join Server.
How many Vanilla Minecraft servers are on this list?
We currently list 170 Vanilla Minecraft servers. Every one is status-pinged from our own infrastructure every five minutes, so the player counts are measured rather than supplied by the owner.
How are these Vanilla servers ranked?
The numbered list is ordered by the votes players cast during the current calendar month, with a small number of editorially placed picks at the top. Featured servers carry a star instead of a number and sit above the list. Votes reset on the first of every month so a newer server can climb.
When do votes reset?
On the first of every calendar month, for every server at once. That keeps the ranking from freezing around whoever was biggest last year.
Are these Vanilla servers free to join?
Yes. Every Vanilla server here is free to join. You need a Minecraft account and the server address, nothing else. Some servers sell optional ranks or cosmetics, but playing costs nothing.
Do these Vanilla servers work on Bedrock, mobile or console?
Some do. A server that accepts Bedrock clients is tagged Bedrock or Cross-Play on its listing. Java-only servers cannot be joined from a phone, console or the Windows edition without the owner running a bridge.
What Minecraft version do these Vanilla servers run?
Each listing shows the version our last successful ping reported. Many servers accept a range of clients rather than a single version, so check the listing before you switch profiles.
How do I add my Vanilla server to this list?
Create a free account and click Add Server. Your server has to be online while we check it, because we confirm the address answers a real status ping before the listing goes live. Listing is free and it is never a condition of ranking.
Do I need an account to vote?
No. Voting only asks for your Minecraft username and a quick verification check. You can vote once every 24 hours per server, and if the owner has connected Votifier the reward reaches you in game straight away.
How is the player count measured?
We send our own status ping to every listed address every five minutes and record the reply. If a server has not answered in the last 30 minutes we show the last successful reading and label it as last seen, rather than presenting an old number as if it were live.
