Write a Minecraft server listing players can use
Create a useful server listing with clear connection details, rules, reset information, original descriptions, and honest expectations.
Answer the joining questions first
Players need to know what they can do, how they connect, and what might stop them joining. Start with your edition, supported versions, address, and whether a whitelist or application is required. Use the listing's connection fields for ports instead of burying them in a promotional paragraph. For cross-play, test both addresses from the matching edition. A working Java address does not prove that Bedrock access is ready.
Write an original description
Describe the experience on your server in your own words. Explain the first session: where players arrive, how they reach the main world, and which commands they need. Then describe the rules that make your world different. Do not copy another listing, repeat search phrases, or paste a generic hosting advertisement. Repeating punctuation to reach a character minimum gives visitors less information and can trigger the listing filter.
Replace vague claims with concrete details
Instead of 'the best survival experience', explain whether players can claim land, whether PvP is optional, how the economy works, and how staff handle disputes. Instead of 'always active', state when you schedule events and which time zone you use. Instead of 'no resets', explain your actual reset policy and what happens to builds. If a feature is planned but not available yet, say so. Do not promise uptime or support coverage you cannot provide.
Choose tags and media carefully
Select tags that describe gameplay currently available. A Java server should only claim Bedrock support after that connection works. Use a readable banner you have permission to publish, and avoid making it the only place that explains a feature. Text inside an image cannot replace the connection fields or written description. A trailer should show your actual server and should not imply features or player numbers that belong to another community.
Publish, test, and maintain
Create the listing from your dashboard. Normal submissions publish after the automated checks pass. Open the public details page and test the connection details and external links. When you change host, update the appropriate address and port, then check the next status result. After a reset, update your description and banner rather than creating a duplicate listing. Existing listings remain editable if a later plan change reduces your allowance; adding another listing is subject to your current limit.
Respond to feedback without manufacturing it
Invite real players to leave specific feedback, including criticism. Owners cannot review their own servers here, but can reply to reviews. Do not trade rewards for positive star ratings or invent player testimonials. Daily server voting and the weekly community poll are separate activities; explain the difference if you link both to your community. Paid sponsor placement is labelled, and does not mean a server has passed a quality inspection.
When a listing needs correction
If an admin temporarily suspends a listing, the dashboard shows the reason. Edit that existing listing and save the corrected information. It enters the review queue and stays out of public rankings until an admin approves it. Creating another listing to bypass a suspension does not resolve the original problem. Include the server name and listing URL when contacting support so the team can identify the record.
