The most popular Minecraft servers today are undoubtedly Hypnosis and Optiitsu. With more than 100,000 users logged on at peak times, the competition is not even remotely close to matching up with Hypnosis’ stable horde of players.
In fact, in recent months, it seems that Hypnosis has managed to gain a stranglehold on the gaming market, holding onto their current positions at number three and number two respectively on the server list. They have also gained a solid reputation as the top-ranked Java-based Minecraft server. This week, they gained yet another spot on the server list at number seven.
As well as being one of the most popular, they also happen to be one of the most versatile. Their main focus is primarily on survival, but they are capable of all sorts of niche server applications as well. For example, their popular prison server uses a system called “Vanilla PvP” to create a highly competitive environment where players must work together to survive and score against each other.
The twist is that each player is allowed to use only two weapons at any point during the game, meaning that teamwork is essential. The Vanilla PvP game mode is extremely popular among players who enjoy camping out in the Prison, where they can get a better vantage point of the outside world from behind the bars. However, if you prefer to play the game in a more relaxed fashion, “vanilla PvP” allows you to do just that.
Not surprisingly, when you talk about the best Minecraft servers, you also get to talk about the most popular mod pack. And, since modpacks provide the backbone of vanilla Minecraft and most of its benefits, it stands to reason that there wouldn’t be much competition for the top position.
That said, certain servers have established themselves as the clear favorites among players and the leaders in the Modpack community. These include “agencies”, “death star”, “Weatherstone”, “infinity” and “uber”. Each of these has a unique feel and style, and they have experienced players glued to them like glue.
If there is one thing that can be said about popular servers, it is that they all have strong community support. This means that there are modpack creators that have put tons of time and resources into making their mods as popular as possible.
And they are constantly looking for new ways to make the games as enjoyable for their users as possible. Whether you are a hardcore survival player or you just like to see beautiful sights and amazing scenery, many mods will meet your needs.
One other aspect of popular servers is that they are very flexible. They have many options for players, ranging from Minecraft servers that only have one terrain type, all the way up to servers with multiple biomes, multiple worlds, and even custom events.
