SMP Minecraft Servers
Every active SMP server on the list, ranked by votes this month. Player counts and versions come straight from a live ping.
Small worlds that have been running for years
SMP stands for survival multiplayer, but on a server list it usually means something more specific: a small, long-running world with a community that knows each other, often whitelisted or application-only. Fewer plugins, fewer resets, and far more shared history than a public server accumulates.
These are the servers where spawn was built by players over several years, where somebody runs a shop because they felt like it rather than for profit, and where a griefing incident is a community event rather than a support ticket. The application exists to keep it that way, so expect a few questions on Discord and a day of waiting.
Check how long the world has run, how many people are online at your play time, and whether a map reset is planned. A good SMP is worth writing an application for, but a dead one is very dead — read a week of the Discord before you spend an evening on the form.
