User:Melofors/List of most popular Minecraft servers
This is a list of the most popular Minecraft servers of all time. Minecraft servers are player-owned or business-owned. Players can start their own server using a hosting provider. Minecraft multiplayer servers are guided by server operators (op for short), who have access to server commands such as setting the time of day and teleporting players. Operators can also set up restrictions concerning which usernames or IP addresses are allowed or disallowed to enter the server.[1] Multiplayer servers have a wide range of activities, with some servers having their own unique rules and customs. Player versus player combat (PvP) can be enabled to allow fighting between players. Many servers have custom plugins that allow actions that are not normally possible. The largest and most popular server is Hypixel, which has been visited by over 15 million people.[2]
