Servers by votes this month
Servers from the United States reach a large English-speaking audience, so chat is almost always in English and there is something for every taste. Popular modes include PvP, survival, SMP, Lifesteal, Skyblock and Cobblemon. If you live in North America, a US server gives you the lowest ping. This page lists servers from the United States, ranked by player votes this month, and one click copies the IP. Sort by players online or switch between Java and Bedrock.
How to choose a good Minecraft server from the United States
- Distance and ping. The further you are from a server, the higher your ping. From Europe or Asia the delay hardly matters in survival, Skyblock or creative, but you will feel it in PvP and BedWars.
- Time zone and activity. Player counts change with the hour. Check the player count when you usually play, and the 24-hour player chart on the server page.
- Edition and version. Use the Java and Bedrock buttons and compare the version in the row with your client. Big servers often support several versions.
- Rules and shop. Look for clear rules, an anti-cheat and a fair shop. Ranks and cosmetics are fine, paid gear is not.

Are US Minecraft servers free?
Yes. Joining is free on almost all of them, and you only need your own Minecraft account. Servers earn money from optional ranks and cosmetics, so read the shop first.
Can I play on US servers from Europe?
Yes, most servers accept players from any country. Ping rises with distance, which hardly matters in survival or building but can hurt in PvP and BedWars. If the delay bothers you, choose a server closer to home. Other countries are under Countries on the Game modes page.
