Adding your server is completely free and takes just a few minutes. Simply click here to add your server, fill in your server details, and we'll review it within 24 hours. Make sure to include your server IP, description, and any special features that make your server unique.

What are the benefits of premium listings?

Premium listings get featured placement at the top of search results, custom styling options, detailed analytics, and priority support. Check out our premium features to boost your server's visibility and attract more players to your community.

How does the voting system work?

Players can vote for servers every 12 hours to help them rank higher in our listings. Votes are tracked by IP address to prevent spam. Server owners can set up Votifier to automatically reward players with in-game items when they vote.

Is MCList.gg free to use?

Yes! MCList.gg is completely free for both players and server owners. Players can browse and vote for servers without any cost, and server owners can list their servers for free. We offer optional premium upgrades for enhanced features.

What Minecraft versions are supported?

We support all Minecraft versions from 1.8 to the latest release, including Bedrock Edition servers. Our platform automatically detects server versions and displays compatibility information to help players find servers that match their Minecraft version.

How can I improve my server's ranking?

Server rankings are based on votes, player activity, and server uptime. Encourage your players to vote regularly, keep your server online and updated, engage with the community, and consider upgrading to premium for featured placement and better visibility.

Do you provide server hosting?
