For server owners

Minecraft server advertising that you can measure

ServerWars replaces vote-spam and pay-per-slot banners with a live auction. Bid what a player is worth to you, hold #1 in front of everyone browsing the Minecraft server list, and watch every IP copy it produces.

Auction for #1

The highest seasonal commitment holds the throne on every page of the site. Get outbid and you can take it back instantly.

Pay only the difference

Raising from $200 to $320 costs $120, not $320. Your commitment is cumulative across the 7-day season.

Real acquisition metrics

Impressions, profile visits, IP copies, Discord clicks and cost per IP copy — the numbers that tell you if spend turns into players.

Verified traffic only

Every listing is MOTD-verified and uptime-pinged, so you compete against real servers instead of dead IPs.

How the Minecraft advertising auction works

  1. 1. Add your server and verify ownership with a one-time MOTD token.
  2. 2. Place a seasonal bid. The highest total commitment takes the #1 leaderboard slot.
  3. 3. If someone outbids you, raise — you only pay the difference above your current commitment.
  4. 4. Watch impressions, IP copies and cost per IP copy in the owner dashboard.
  5. 5. At the end of the 7-day season the champion is locked into the Hall of Fame.

Minecraft server advertising FAQ

How much does Minecraft server advertising cost?
You set the price. Placement is an open auction: the highest total seasonal bid holds #1. When you raise a bid you only pay the difference between your old and new commitment.
Is advertising a Minecraft server worth it?
Track it and decide. Every advertiser gets impressions, profile visits, IP copies, Discord clicks and a cost-per-IP-copy chart, so you can compare spend against real joins.
Where can I advertise my Minecraft server for free?
Listing on ServerWars is free — verify ownership with a MOTD token and your server appears in the server list, trending and category pages. Bidding is optional and only affects leaderboard placement.
How do you stop fake Minecraft server listings?
Owners must place a one-time random token in the server MOTD, which we confirm by pinging the server. Uptime is then monitored continuously.
