Minecraft SMP Servers for 1.21 and Newer

Entries whose own status reply advertises a modern client range, so you are not forced to keep an old profile around just to log in.

Version strings here are what the server says about itself, not what we assume. Where a server pins a single version rather than a range, the entry gives that version exactly.

9 servers on our list

  1. #1 TalonMC Our #1

    Custom-enhanced survival built from scratch for this SMP: land claiming, the economy, progression and trading are its own systems rather than off-the-shelf plugins, with.

    play.talonmc.net

    Survival SMP · Minecraft 1.8 - 26.2 · Bedrock: Yes · 1,461 online (network-wide)

  2. #2 DonutSMP

    DonutSMP is by a wide margin the busiest address on this list, and unlike the networks here that count is one survival world rather than a whole platform.

    donutsmp.net

    Lifesteal SMP · Minecraft 1.7.2 - 26.2 · Bedrock: Yes

  3. #3 MineBerry

    MineBerry runs survival and anarchy next to bedwars, skywars and kitpvp, so the SMP side shares an address with a full minigame lineup.

    play.mineberry.net

    Survival and Anarchy · Minecraft 1.8 - 26.2 · Bedrock: No · 1,064 online (network-wide)

  4. #4 OtterSMP

    OtterSMP is a dedicated SMP rather than a network lane, so every player its status reply reports is in the same survival world as you.

    play.ottersmp.com

    SMP · Minecraft 26.2 · Bedrock: Yes · 82 online

  5. #5 2b2t

    The oldest anarchy server still running: no rules, no claims, no moderation and no map reset, ever.

    2b2t.org

    Anarchy SMP · Minecraft 1.21.4 · Bedrock: No · 1,093 online

  6. #7 Minemalia

    Minemalia names both a lifesteal reset and a survival update in its own server message, so there are two distinct SMP worlds behind this one address.

    play.minemalia.com

    Lifesteal SMP · Minecraft 1.9 - 26.2 · Bedrock: Yes · 139 online (network-wide)

  7. #8 EarthMC

    EarthMC plays out on a scale map of the real Earth with towns, nations and diplomacy on top of towny, which makes it the most political server on this list.

    join.earthmc.net

    Earth SMP · Minecraft 1.7.2 - 26.2 · Bedrock: No · 320 online

  8. #9 CraftYourTown

    CraftYourTown runs towny survival with Slimefun on top, which means machines, industry and resource chains rather than plain vanilla progression.

    play.craftyourtown.com

    Towny SMP · Minecraft 1.7.2 - 26.1 · Bedrock: No · 118 online

  9. #10 CivMC

    CivMC belongs to the civ genre: no plugin-drawn claims, just player-built nations, treaties, prison mechanics and war fought through custom reinforcement rules.

    play.civmc.net

    Civ SMP · Minecraft 1.7.2 - 26.2 · Bedrock: No · 97 online
