Oldest Minecraft servers

2-Dec-2022

Minecraft looks simple on the surface. The main goal is to mine resources and create objects. This is why the name.

This may seem like the most basic aspect of Minecraft, but mining and crafting objects is only a small part of it. The possibilities of what people can do in Minecraft are endless.

Minecraft announced in early 2017 that it had sold more than 122 million copies since its 2009 release. 55 million Minecraft players log on each month.

Its simple game mechanics are the reason for its longevity and popularity. There is always something in the game, because players can create almost anything.

The first multiplayer mode was launched a few months after the game's release. Survival multiplayer mode was made available a year later, in 2010. Over the years, hundreds of Minecraft servers were created to allow players to build communities, share their creations and create unique game modes.

Some of today's most popular servers were created almost immediately after survival multiplayer was launched.
