Browse Minecraft servers by gamemode

Servers built around fighting other players, from practice arenas where you respawn instantly to full-loot worlds where dying costs you everything.

You start on a floating island with a tree, a chest and no ground underneath, and every resource you ever own has to be bootstrapped from what fits on it.

A lobby you pick a game from — bed wars, sky wars, murder mystery — with rounds that last a few minutes and start again immediately.

The game as most people play it: hunger, mobs and permanent damage, usually with land claiming so nobody can knock down what you built.

Mine in a cell block, sell the ore, buy the next rank, repeat from A to Z until you are free and can start again in the PvP mines.

Currency, player shops and an auction house. Prices are set by players, and a server-wide market is usually the point rather than a side feature.

Defend the bed under your island while you break everyone else's. Once your bed is gone you stop respawning, so the first break usually decides the match.

Claim land as a group, raid the groups that did not defend theirs, and lose whatever you left outside a claim. The raiding is the game.

Small survival multiplayer, close to vanilla, where the community and the shared world matter more than the plugin list.

No rules, no claims and no bans. Griefing, duping and hacked clients are all permitted, and nothing you build is safe.

Offline-mode servers that accept any username without checking it against Mojang, which also means anyone can log in as you.

One life. Dying means a ban, a spectator slot or a full reset, depending on how the server chooses to enforce it.

Forge, Fabric or NeoForge packs that add machines, magic or whole dimensions. You need the matching pack installed before the server will let you in.

Jump courses sorted by difficulty, with checkpoints and leaderboards. Nothing to build and nothing to lose except your time.

The game exactly as Mojang ships it. No plugins changing drop rates, combat or how redstone behaves.

Unlimited blocks, flight and no mobs. Most creative servers hand out a plot so your build is yours and nobody else can edit it.

Adds RPG skill levels to mining, combat, fishing and the rest, so hours spent on a task make you measurably better at it.

Objectives, NPCs and storylines layered over survival, so there is something to do next besides deciding for yourself.

Play a character rather than yourself. Expect in-character chat, jobs and a setting, from medieval kingdoms to modern cities.

Found a town, sell plots to residents, join a nation and declare war — all through the Towny plugin, which turns land claiming into politics.
