How to Advertise Your Minecraft Server

Minecraft servers are always more fun when you can play and enjoy the game with others. For new server owners, attracting players to your server can be challenging — that’s why we’ve put together some helpful tips and tricks to help you kickstart your own Minecraft community.

One of the most popular ways to bring in new players is through advertising. But wait! Before posting your server’s ad, it’s important to make sure your server is fully prepared for players. Once your ad goes live and players start joining, you’ll also want them to stay — and hopefully invite their friends too.

The following checklist will help you make your server more appealing and ensure player retention. We highly recommend reviewing it before promoting your server.

Tips for Increasing Player Retention

• Fully set up your Minecraft server (builds, permissions, ranks, shops, and other configurations) to prevent downtime and performance issues.We have a YouTube playlist with step-by-step tutorials to help you get started with your own Minecraft server.

  
  

• Use a custom domain or subdomain (for example, MyMinecraftServer.com) as your server address to make it easier for players to remember and share.

  Follow our guide here: Set Up a Custom Server IP (Domain/Subdomain).

  

• Choose a unique game mode or server type that gives players a fresh and memorable experience.

• Invite your friends to play on your server — having an active player base encourages new players to stay longer. The more, the merrier!
