Our Story
Every great world starts with a single block and ours began in November 2021. Back then, a Minecraft enthusiast known as PizzaMC founded Server-Minecraft.net with a simple mission: finding the perfect Minecraft server should be as exciting as playing the game itself. It started as a humble passion project: a straightforward list, updated manually, built for the community, by the community.
The idea resonated. Within months, thousands of players and server owners were using the platform daily. Server-Minecraft.net quickly became one of the fastest-growing server directories in the Minecraft listing space, helping countless communities find their audience and thrive.
In June 2023, the project caught the attention of Vultur from Insvire, a digital group known for building and scaling platforms. Seeing the potential to turn Server-Minecraft.net into something much bigger, they acquired it and began a complete rebuild, rethinking everything from infrastructure and SEO to analytics and server data accuracy.
Two years later, after countless updates, feedback sessions, and a complete design overhaul, we entered a new era. In November 2025, exactly four years after its creation, the website was officially rebranded as Minerank.com, symbolizing not just a new name but a new vision for the Minecraft server community.
Why Minerank
The name Minerank embodies what we’ve become: a home for discovery, competition, and connection.
“Mine” represents the world we all share, filled with creativity, exploration, and endless adventures.
“Rank” reflects our data-driven mission to provide fair, transparent, and meaningful rankings for every server.
We believe that the best Minecraft server list isn’t just a catalog, it’s an ecosystem. A living, evolving network where players can explore, review, and join their favorite servers in real time, and where server owners can grow their communities with accurate insights, visibility, and trust.
Our Evolution
Since our early days as Server-Minecraft.net, we’ve evolved far beyond simple voting pages. Minerank now features:
- Real-time server monitoring with live player counts and uptime tracking.
- Fair ranking algorithms that prioritize engagement, activity, and player satisfaction.
- Comprehensive server profiles, from game modes to community reviews and social links.
- Powerful tools for server owners, including analytics dashboards, sponsored slots, growth metrics, server status checker, votifier tester, motd generator and more.
Our platform is built on the belief that data and community should work hand in hand, empowering every player and every creator to grow together.
The Minerank Community
Minerank is more than a website, it’s a living community. Our official Discord brings together thousands of players, server owners, and creators who share a love for building worlds, testing features, and exchanging ideas. It’s where updates are born, bugs are squashed, and friendships are formed.
Our Discord server isn’t just a chatroom; it’s the heart of Minerank. It’s where owners share insights about server growth, and where creators can promote their services.
