Live-status listings
Browse Java and Bedrock servers with the address, reported player count, supported types, and status from the latest check shown on each listing.
NewMinecraftServers
NewMinecraftServers helps you find Java and Bedrock Minecraft servers by mode, status, platform, and newest listings. Owners can list or claim servers free.
Minecraft server discovery and listing directory
NewMinecraftServers is a directory for discovering Minecraft servers on Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. It presents listings with server addresses, player counts, supported game modes, platform information, and the result of the server’s most recent check.
The directory is designed for two audiences: players looking for an available community and server owners who want to add, claim, or maintain a listing. Players can search by plain-language requests, filter out servers that were offline at their last check, and copy an address for a guided three-step join process. Owners can verify control through an MOTD code, a Paper plugin, or a DNS TXT record. An optional free, open-source Companion plugin adds in-game stats and listing-management commands for Paper servers.
Directory features
Newest-first discovery
New listings appear first, helping players find recently added communities before they become more established.
Natural-language search
Search in plain language, such as a request for a particular mode or platform, with matching filters selected for the results.
Availability and game-mode filters
Offline servers are hidden by default, while category pages and filters cover modes including SMP, survival, PvP, lifesteal, Skyblock, BedWars, modded, and others.
One-click address copying
Copy the full server address, including a non-default port after a colon, directly from a listing for use in Minecraft.
Owner listing controls
Owners can add or claim a server, edit its name, description, gamemodes, links, and banner, and bump its listing every two hours.
Practical use cases
Find a server to play
Search by a mode such as SMP, survival, lifesteal, or PvP, review the latest reported status and player count, then copy the address to join.
Explore emerging communities
Use newest-first browsing and category filters to identify recently added communities before choosing one that matches a preferred platform and game mode.
Promote and manage a server
Submit a new listing or locate an existing one by address, then verify ownership and maintain the listing details, links, gamemodes, and banner.
Monitor server activity
Install the Companion plugin on a Paper server to claim the listing, link the server for up to 90 days of statistics, and inspect peak players, averages, uptime, and busy periods in game.
Troubleshoot access
Use the directory’s latest-check information and the Minecraft status tools linked from the site when investigating whether a server or authentication service is reachable.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Covers both Java and Bedrock servers and displays platform-specific connection details.
- Shows the latest check status and reported player count for each listing, with offline servers hidden by default.
- Supports plain-language search, game-mode categories, and newest-first browsing.
- Server owners can add or claim listings for free using three verification methods.
- The optional Companion plugin provides player statistics and uptime information without sending player names, UUIDs, IP addresses, or chat.
Cons
- The directory does not guarantee that a server will remain online after its latest check; availability is based on scheduled checks and the displayed last-check result.
- The Companion plugin is specifically documented for Paper 1.20.4 or newer, while other server software must use another verification method for ownership claims.
- The available evidence does not document a paid plan, pricing tiers, or additional commercial services.
FAQ
How do I join a Java server from the directory?
Copy a listing's address, open Minecraft Java Edition, choose Multiplayer, select Add Server, paste the address, save it, and join using the supported game version.
How do I join a Bedrock server?
In Minecraft Bedrock, choose Play, open Servers, select Add Server, and enter the listing's name, address, and port. Use port 19132 unless the listing shows another port. Console players may need an additional workaround because consoles show featured servers by default.
How are Java and Bedrock servers handled?
The directory includes both Java and Bedrock listings and shows the relevant address. Java and Bedrock players generally cannot join the same server unless the server uses a bridge; listings then show both a Java and Bedrock address.
How can a server owner add or claim a listing?
Servers can be added or claimed for free. To verify ownership, use a one-time code in the MOTD, run the Companion plugin on Paper, or add a DNS TXT record under a domain you control. The code remains valid for 72 hours.
What does the Companion plugin do?
The optional Companion plugin runs on Paper 1.20.4 or newer. It supports listing claims, player statistics, uptime and busiest-hour data, and lookups for listed servers. The plugin is free, open source, and does not send player names, UUIDs, IP addresses, or chat.
