Minecraft is a remarkable sandbox game where players can find activities that suit their tastes. The multiplayer mode is especially popular, where one can enjoy the game not alone but with other users. For this reason, Minecraft servers are in high demand.

However, an important question arises: which Minecraft server should you choose to make it interesting? Our article is dedicated to this very question.

Hypixel

Hypixel tops our selection of the best Minecraft servers. It is a huge server, hosting over 70,000 users. Hypixel is considered one of the largest servers in the world and continues to grow. Here's what awaits you:

Here you can either spend your time on mini-games or explore the vast world, discovering colorful places.

2B2T

Bored of playing in a cubic world? Nothing pleases or even disappoints you? Then it's time to challenge yourself and join the server named 2B2T. This server is considered hardcore because there are no rules or resets. There's not even a goal. You just create chaos.

2B2T has been around for many years and is considered an anarchic server. It's so old that even the map here hasn't been updated or reset since its creation. You have to be careful because griefing and cheating thrive on this server.

If you become a regular player on 2B2T, you could be awarded a medal for heroism and bravery, as about 90% of players cannot escape from spawn (a destroyed piece of land made of obsidian, lava, and bedrock). But besides that, the most diverse traps are set up here.

Intrigued? Want to try yourself in a world of anarchy? Then go ahead!

Manacube

In our Minecraft server list, we also highlight Manacube, which offers a wide variety of game modes such as the standard skyblock, PvP, creative, prison, and so on. 

Among these, there are unique modes as well. One such mode is earth towny, where you are tasked with building cities, nations, and ruling them. There's also islands, where you must survive on a small island, but instead of being surrounded by an ocean, it's poisonous water.

Another plus of the server is its own currency, which you can use to make purchases. To keep from getting bored, you can compete for cool rewards that are given for participating in events.

Among Us Performium

From the name, it's clear what game inspired the creators. And although Among Us has been losing players, this server in Minecraft shows that all is not lost, as it maintains a stable online presence.

You might think that the server is entirely dedicated to Among Us, but that's not entirely true, as there are other game modes available, such as survival, creative, and so on. You can come there with your friends, or alone, because the server is full of multiplayer entertainment.

Complex Gaming

Another hardcore server in our list, so if you're looking to challenge yourself, this is definitely the place to check out. There are 4 server options available: one is classic, and the rest are modified.

Let's see what game modes are available here:

Among these, one that enjoys huge popularity among players is Pixelmon. Interesting opportunities await you: catch, trade, and battle with various Pokémon.

PocketPixels

This server will delight all Pokémon fans, as you can encounter some of your favorite characters. By joining PocketPixels, you will dive into an unforgettable adventure where you'll catch and battle with Pokémon. 

But besides intense battles, you can also peacefully explore the world, interact with fellow fans of the universe, craft items, build a home, train your own Pokémon, and then compete in the arena.

LemonCloud

Welcome to LemonCloud — another popular Minecraft server where you can have a great time with your friends. Here, you can choose from various game modes:

Fond of survival? It's available here. Or perhaps you want to realize all your creative ideas? That's possible too. It all depends on you! The most important thing is the friendly atmosphere on the server.

Netherite [1.20.4]

In search of thrills? Well, the Netherite server can offer you unforgettable experiences. Once there, you can create alliances, build fortresses, and participate in dynamic battles. 

If you don't want to take part in battles, then you can go mining for valuable resources or simply make friends and chat with other players in the city. 

But if that seems boring to you, you can always dive into survival mode, where every action must be carefully considered to preserve your life.

Purple Prison

So, if you love the Prison game mode, this server is made for you. As usual with such modes, the emphasis is on mining blocks to earn money. Money helps to increase rank, buy cool gear, unlock new features, and gain access to new mines. 

This server has a lot of interesting content that is almost impossible to find on a standard server. For example, if you want to create your own story with a cool plot, do a lot of building, or join a gang, then this is definitely possible. The Prison mode can be very welcoming and friendly, and Purple Prison has proven that.

WesterosCraft

This server will definitely appeal to fans of Game of Thrones because, upon entering, you find yourself in Westeros. You are afforded extensive opportunities to explore the world. Here, you'll find familiar places, such as King's Landing or Dragonstone.

A creative atmosphere reigns here, or more precisely, a creative mode. However, you can also solve puzzles, reenact favorite scenes from the series, or become a builder and join others in continuing to create beauty in Westeros.

Wynncraft

This server is perfect for those who love MMOs. You will be greeted by the vast world of Wynn. The principle here is really like any MMO RPG:

Wynncraft is a unique server with an original quest system and a detailed map. With friends, you can conquer territories or uncover secrets. If you've decided to play here, then prepare yourself for a long, but fascinating journey.

Piratecraft

Welcome to the pirate server! Literally, because here you can embark on an unforgettable adventure on a ship. If you've played regular Minecraft, you've probably noticed that built ships there don't move. And what's the point of that? Except to admire them. But here, you won't just be sailing the waves, but also participating in naval battles.

Competitions are also held here, in which you can take part with your own unique ship. Treasures will be awarded as prizes. Can you hear the sound of the waves? The sea is calling you on an adventure!

Minewind

Above, we wrote about a server where complete anarchy reigns because there are no rules. Well, there's another such server, but with a focus on MMO.

Just surviving can be boring. In such cases, players look for something more challenging, to the point where their nervous system screams, "Enough! Spare me!" If you're one of those players, then you should like Minewind. Here, you always need to be on your toes, otherwise, death will take you into its embrace.

The server is configured for survival mode with MMO elements, but there are no rules here, leading to madness, numerous murders, deception, and intrigue. Plunging into this grim and harsh world is easy, but clawing your way out of it proves to be more difficult.

Foxcraft

Another quite popular server, which offers several game modes:

Foxcraft is renowned for its continuously active worlds, often running uninterrupted for years. If you build a base and collect various items here, there's a chance they will remain for a long time. However, the server is known for its unfair play, as there are no resets.

This is because many players have been playing on this server for years, possibly since its inception. This has allowed them to enhance their skills, becoming stronger and more agile compared to newcomers. But defeating them in battle is a satisfying challenge, isn't it? It's worth coming here to show that even newcomers are capable of a lot.

PvP Legacy

Rounding off our selection is a server named PvP Legacy. It's considered one of the renowned servers where players can battle each other. It's based on version 1.16, and here's why: this version includes some of the most complex combat updates in Minecraft.

Here, you have the opportunity to create your own gear, then head into epic battles or tournaments with it. If you're worried about having no one to play with, you can put those concerns aside. There are plenty of players on the server who would be happy to keep you company.

We have explored 15 great Minecraft servers, stepping into which will transport you into entirely different worlds, filled with fascinating adventures, challenges, and battles.
