A Minecraft server is a multiplayer game server for the popular game Minecraft, owned by either players or businesses. These servers are often connected in a network rather than being a single machine. Players have the option to set up their own server using Mojang's software or by using a hosting provider for better uptime. The most well-known server is Hypixel, which offers various minigames.

Server operators have control over the multiplayer servers and can use commands to manipulate the gameplay, such as adjusting the time, teleporting players, and setting the world spawn. They can also install plugins to change the mechanics and add new features, as well as set restrictions on who can join the server.

Multiplayer servers offer a wide range of activities, each with their own unique premises, rules, and customs. PvP combat can be enabled to allow players to fight against each other. Custom plugins and mods can be used to introduce new actions and features not found in the original game. Additionally, there are server software modifications that enable crossplay between the Java and Bedrock editions of Minecraft.
