Server features: — increased monster strength and spawn rate; — a Blood Moon event every few nights: monsters become more dangerous and inflict debuffs on players (blindness, nausea and others); — monsters have boosted speed, more health, armor, higher damage and extra abilities (for example, phantoms are now nearly invisible); — the world is limited to a 7,000-block radius; — a strict combat system. During the Blood Moon a boss occasionally appears and can drop useful loot. Surviving alone is difficult even for experienced players, so playing in a team is recommended.

The server has a cozy atmosphere, a responsive administration, and various events that keep things from getting boring. IP: rminecraft.mcpro.io Whitelist entry only; access to the server is granted after payment (25 rubles) Entry payment (by paying the entry fee you agree to the server's rules and commit to following them): donationalerts.com/r/wackyipc discord.gg/2zurFpz

Minecraft in 2026: A Game That Never Ages

More than 15 years since release and over 350 million copies sold — Minecraft remains the best-selling game in history. Mojang switched to the Game Drops system: instead of one big annual update, frequent themed drops ship throughout the year. In 2025 came Spring to Life (biome mob variants, the Firefly Bush), Chase the Skies (the tamable Happy Ghast you can fly with up to four players), The Copper Age (copper tools and the Copper Golem), and Mounts of Mayhem (the Spear weapon, the nautilus, and zombie horses as mounts). From 2026, Mojang introduced a new version numbering of the 26.x form instead of 1.x.

Server Cores Keep Up

Paper and Purpur already support the new numbering. Folia — Paper's engine with multithreaded region processing — is built for large servers and holds 200+ players without TPS drops when gameplay is spread across the map and plugins are compatible. Velocity replaced BungeeCord as the standard proxy for large networks. Fabric and NeoForge give modders tools that didn't exist a couple of years ago.

Why Servers, Not Realms?

Realms is convenient for playing with a handful of friends. But PvP leagues for hundreds of players, custom RPG worlds with quests, or rule-free anarchy need full servers: custom plugins, unique worlds, an economy, and events that vanilla doesn't have.

How to Choose a Minecraft Server and Not Regret It

There are hundreds of servers; new ones appear every day, old ones close quietly. Here is what to check when choosing.

Version and Platform — Check First

A Java Edition server won't accept a Bedrock player, and vice versa. Confirm the version: modpacks more often run on 1.16.5, 1.12.2, or 1.8.9, while current content runs on 1.21.x and 26.x. You can filter the catalog by version and platform; the most requested picks are 1.16.5 servers, 1.12.2 servers, and Bedrock servers for mobile.

License: Premium or Cracked

Some projects run in online-mode (a licensed Minecraft account is required), others in cracked mode, which you can join without a license check. This is a technical server setting, not a quality rating — pick the one that matches your client. Projects that skip the license check are collected under the cracked servers filter.

Donations: Pay-to-Win or Cosmetics

Fair donations are cosmetics, tags, and pets. A warning sign is selling combat advantage: Netherite armor, kits with elytra and enchanted gear for money. If a small payment grants a full combat loadout, the server's economy is probably broken.

Anticheat and Moderation

Without working anticheat, PvP loses its meaning: Kill Aura, Fly, and Reach quickly drive honest players away. Before registering, it's worth joining the project's Discord and asking which anticheat is installed, how fast bans happen, and whether appeals exist.

Minecraft Server Types: Comparison Table

Each server type has its own atmosphere and audience. Choose by your play style.

Server TypeDifficultyFor WhomFeatures
