# NewMinecraftServers > A directory of new Minecraft servers for Java and Bedrock Edition. Every listing is checked automatically and shows the server IP, whether it was online at its latest check, players online, the versions it accepts and its gamemodes. Newest servers are listed first on the home page. Each server has a page at /server/ with its IP, live status and join steps, a /stats tab with player-count history, and a /vote tab where players vote once a day. Offline servers are hidden from lists by default. ## Server lists - [New Minecraft servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/): the newest listings first - [Java Edition servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/java) - [Bedrock Edition and cross-play servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/bedrock) - [Top voted servers this month](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/top-voted) - [Random Minecraft server](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/random): a shuffled pick of online servers - [Servers by Minecraft version](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/versions) - [All gamemodes](https://newminecraftservers.net/gamemodes) - [Survival servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/survival) - [PvP servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/pvp) - [Economy servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/economy) - [Vanilla servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/vanilla) - [SMP servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/smp) - [Skyblock servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/skyblock) - [Roleplay servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/roleplay) - [Towny servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/towny) - [Anarchy servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/anarchy) - [Factions servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/factions) - [Creative servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/creative) - [KitPvP servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/kitpvp) - [Parkour servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/parkour) - [Lifesteal servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/lifesteal) - [Minigames servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/minigames) - [BedWars servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/bedwars) - [Prison servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/prison) - [Modded servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/modded) - [RPG servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/rpg) - [Earth servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/earth) - [OneBlock servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/oneblock) - [Cobblemon servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/cobblemon) - [Pixelmon servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/pixelmon) - [Tycoon servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/tycoon) - [Medieval servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/medieval) - [Hunger Games servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/hungergames) - [SkyWars servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/skywars) - [Hardcore servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/hardcore) - [RLCraft servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/rlcraft) - [Manhunt servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/manhunt) - [Zombie servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/zombie) - [Practice PvP servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/practice) - [UHC servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/uhc) - [Crystal PvP servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/crystalpvp) - [Build Battle servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/buildbattle) - [Battle Royale servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/battleroyale) - [Capture the Flag servers](https://newminecraftservers.net/servers/ctf) ## Minecraft service status - [Are the Minecraft Authentication Servers Down?](https://newminecraftservers.net/minecraft-authentication-servers): Are the Minecraft authentication servers down?
