How to Advertise Your Minecraft Server

It takes a lot of effort to configure a Minecraft Server before releasing it to the public, but what happens after that?! How will players know about your Minecraft server?! How will they find out about your community and the server that you are running?! To tackle that, we will explain everything you need in order to advertise your Minecraft Server to increase its visibility on the internet and gain new players on it.

It is also very crucial to understand that a Minecraft Server can only attract new players by being unique and offering quality experiences to their players. No one wants to play on a generic, empty survival server. But a server with unique mechanics, like custom abilities or exciting challenges, can attract players and keep them engaged!

Minecraft Server Listings

Minecraft Server listing websites allow players to discover and explore new servers offering experiences according to their liking. These websites work by giving a rank to each server according to the number of votes they have, meaning the server with more votes will appear higher on the list, ultimately getting more visibility than the other servers.

To solve this, server owners can set up rewards for the players who vote for their server. This is a great way to create a win-win scenario between you and the players, where your server will get more visibility on the listing sites and the players will get free in-game rewards for simply voting for your server for absolutely free. To do this, you will need to set up Votifier (NuVotifier) and a reward plugin on your server, which you can do by following the simple tutorials below—

Social Media

Another way to advertise your Minecraft Server is by promoting it on different social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and many others. This can be done by posting small videos/reels showcasing PvP, server mechanics, and multiple other aspects of the server, along with streaming and posting videos focusing on server gameplay and interaction between players.

In-Game Events & Tournaments

Hosting events on your server can attract a lot of players, especially when the event is giving a reward to the winners. Not only does this help attract new players, but it also keeps your existing player base engaged. Some of the events that you can host include — building competitions, PvP tournaments, parkour challenges, and many others depending on your server type and mechanics.

Paid Promotions (Optional)

If you have a budget, you can also opt for paid advertisements, allowing your server to reach a large number of audiences faster than the organic methods. Some of the known options include — Google Ads, Instagram Ads, Listing Promotions, Creator Sponsorships, and multiple others.
