SuperHusky's Minecraft Server Owner Guide

Hello MPGH! So today I will be going over how to get people to join your minecraft server.

Step 1: Choose the type of server you want to have!
  • Faction PVP
  • Survival Multiplayer (SMP)
  • SurvivalGames (HungerGames)
  • Creative
  • Prison
  • Vanilla
  • SkyBlock Survival
  • Minigame (difficult for people unexperienced with plugins/mods)


Step 2: Advertise your server!
Now, it is important to advertise your server to get people to join. And by advertising, I do not mean spamming random people your server ip.

Here is what you need to do in order to have a successful ad or post...
  • Post your server on popular minecraft related websites/forums
  • Install the plugin Votifier. I recommend this so players can vote for your server and get an in game reward. When people vote it brings the server to the top of the list therefore getting it seen more.
  • Make a high quality description of your server and what it has to offer.


Step 3: Have a good server!
It is important to have these qualities to make the server fun and enjoyable for players!
  • Have a good looking spawn! (Don't copy others spawn, build a nice looking original one! Many players may leave instantly if the spawn is terrible!)
  • Be friendly with your members! (Talk to them, ask them how's there day etc.)
  • Have a good staff! (Don't promote everyone who asks, ask people to fill out staff applications!)
  • Offer new ranks! (Offer ranks for getting a certain amount of money ingame, or for referring players, and for donating!)
  • Keep your server running smoothly! (Update plugins, make world backups, and try to keep the uptime at 99%)
