The Official Minecraft Server List is a website launched by Mojang Studios and GamerSafer, that allows players to find servers to play in for Java and Bedrock editions. It was launched in November 2023,[1][2] but was in development for about 1 year.[note 1]

Servers

The website features a variety of servers for the player to choose, which are categorized into options such as minigames, SMPs, and creative builds.

According to Minecraft.net's article about the official server list, all listed servers must comply with the Minecraft Usage Guidelines (MUG), and they must provide official contact information and state the purpose of the server.

Any server owner with a significant amount of players may be able to apply to the website.

Badges

All servers listed on the Official Minecraft Server List have a badge, which according to the Badges page are awarded for servers who showcase their work and commitment to safe and enjoyable experiences.

Name Description Requirements
Builder's Benchmark Servers with the Builder's Benchmark Badge have been recently reviewed by the Mojang Enforcement team and are found to comply with the Minecraft Usage Guidelines for running the server.
  • Required in order to be publicly listed on the site
  • Complete a self-review of the current Minecraft Usage Guidelines ('MUG')
  • If the MUG is updated, the server will make sure they remain in compliance
  • Mojang will review the server and contact them at the provided email address
  • Mojang will note the server’s most recent review date and conclusion of that review
  • Servers that are reported for violating guidelines will be reviewed and may lose the Badge and visibility on the site while the server review is being completed
Community Basics Safety starts with servers having a great foundation, and that means having some essential pieces in place for the community to reference. Servers will be required to achieve this Badge in order to be listed on this site, but the steps to achieve it are fairly simple and follow standard processes most servers will already have in place.
  • Required in order to be publicly listed on the site
  • A public email address for people to contact the server
  • Complete the Community Essentials Workbook
  • Link to your Rules page on your website or write your rules in our "Server Rules" editor
  • The GamerSafer team will review servers to make sure they are active and accessible
Beacon of Safety This Badge is rewarded to highly committed servers that leverage in-game tools to escalate online harms (like targeted harassment and hate speech) for human review to promote safer and more welcoming interactions. These servers use the latest Minecraft versions and safety tech, such a player abuse reporting, to support their efforts.
  • This Badge is not required in order to be publicly listed on the site
  • Enable player abuse reporting to support chat moderation efforts
  • Run version 1.19.1 or later as the primary version for players to join
  • Schedule a server assessment with the GamerSafer team to discuss chat filtering, moderation, and other player safety measures
GamerSafer GamerSafer has a mission to provide tools that can support games to create safer, more secure experiences that respect a player's privacy. They are excited to recognize servers joining this mission!

  • Sign-up for GSAuth Iron, Gold, or Diamond tier services, which you can activate here
  • Activate GSAuth for in-game Staff 2FA to protect your staff accounts from hackers and impersonators
  • Setup a one-time, 15 minute GSAuth training with your team
Alpha Supporters This is an exclusive Badge available only to servers that have joined FindMCServer during the pre-production and testing periods. They helped them immensely with testing new features as they were developed and making this website release possible.
