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