On the surface, Minecraft appears as a simple game where the main objective is to mine resources and craft objects, hence the name. While this may be the very basic element of the game, mining and crafting regular objects just scratches the surface of the game – the things that people can create in Minecraft are only limited by their imaginations.

In early 2017, Minecraft announced that it had sold over 122 million copies since it was released in 2009, with 55 million players logging on every month. The game’s enduring popularity is driven by the limitless nature of its simple game mechanics. Because players can create anything, there is always something to do in the game.
A few months after the game was released, the first multiplayer mode was released and the popular survival multiplayer mode went live a year later in 2010. Since then, hundreds of Minecraft servers have been created for players to create communities, share their creations, and develop unique game modes. Some of the most popular servers today originated almost immediately after survival multiplayer was launched.

Mineplex is so massive that there are thousands of players logged on to the server at all hours throughout the day and night. The server is even listed as an official Minecraft partner on its website.
To keep things running smoothly, Mineplex sells its own custom in-game cosmetics to help pay for server costs, world development, plugin development, and giveaways. Mineplex’s main feature is its “minigames”, which are special customized maps with different challenges. Minigame categories include: Classics, Arcade, Survival, Champions, Clans, and Holiday.

Although Crazy Fools UK might not be a well-known server, it is one of the oldest from the United Kingdom. The server’s official website even says that its the oldest from the UK, but MinecraftOnline, which is based in England, is a a few months older.
Crazy Fools UK is a traditional survival mode server that says it is a “friendly and safe place to play without any of the hassles of idiotic admins or griefers.” As a little custom touch to the regular game, Crazy Fools UK has its own custom coded “WaterWorld”, which features a vast ocean full of islands and pirate ships. While the server is public, Crazy Fools UK says that anyone wanting to join the server has to pass a simple intelligence test.
4. 2b2t (2builders2tools)
Year Established: December 2010
Country of Origin: United States
Founder(s): Minecraft usernames: Georgebush420 and Hausemaster
Total Number of Unique Players: over 175,000

2builders2tools, which is usually just called 2b2t, is the oldest and most famous “anarchy server” in Minecraft history. It is typically considered the second oldest Minecraft server (even though there are a few older servers) overall after MinecraftOnline. The server has been run since December 2010 and has never been reset.
2b2t is best-known for how chaotic it is. Although the server is still reportedly owned by the original founders, no one actually runs or moderators the server. There are absolutely no rules on 2b2t and anything goes. This has led to many “wars” between different factions of players over the years. The server is so popular that there is a 1,000 player-long queue just to get in.
3. Minr.org
Year Established: October 22, 2010
Country of Origin: United States
Founder(s): Unknown
Total Number of Unique Players: Unknown
photo source: Minr.org
Like all of the servers on this list, Minr.org believes it is the oldest still running Minecraft server. Minr.org is one of the oldest servers that features mazes, challenges, and parkour maps. All of the servers challenges are created by members who have completed the hardest maps on the Minr.org.
Although the server is open to anyone, full membership, which includes building rights, into the Minr.org community must be earned by escaping the hardcore maze/parkour system. There are currently over 250 playable challenges on Minr.org. The server also hosts limited time, server-wide special events such as Ninja Warrior and The Amazing Race, which are both based on the TV shows with the same names.
2. MinecraftOnline
Year Established: August 4, 2010
Country of Origin: England
Founder(s): Minecraft usernames: SlowRiot with the help of RuneChan
Total Number of Unique Players: 125,379
photo source: MinecraftOnline Wiki
While there is a lot of debate over which existing Minecraft server is the oldest, most people believe that MinecraftOnline is officially the oldest Minecraft server. The main world of MinecraftOnline, Freedonia was created on the same day Minecraft survival multiplayer was opened to the public. Freedonia has never been restored or regenerated since it first went live in 2010, making it the longest continuously running world in the game.
Since Freedonia has been running for so long and has always been open to the public, it is filled with numerous towns, cities, and sites. To preserve all the hard work of its users over the years, the admins of MinecraftOnline permanently ban anyone who tries to mess with any of the constructions in Freedonia.
1. Nerd.nu
Year Established: June 10, 2009
Country of Origin: United States
Founder(s): Unknown; current head admins – Minecraft usernames: cujobear, Silversunset, torteela, and Zomise
Total Number of Unique Players: Unknown; official wiki has 35,958 registered users

According to the official wiki page for Nerd.nu, it is one of the oldest Minecraft servers in the world. The server went online on June 10, 2009, just a few days after Minecraft’s multiplayer mode went live. Nerd.nu’s servers are the oldest existing servers that were founded at the servers for Minecraft’s Reddit community.
Today, Nerd.nu hosts three different server types: creative, PvE (player versus environment), and minigames. Nerd.nu also occasionally hosts events on its special events server. The creative server is Nerd.nu’s longest running server and is currently on its 32nd revision. Nerd.nu says that its servers are “fair, fast, and friendly” and that new players are always welcome.
If you started playing Minecraft in 2010 or 2011, then you probably familiar with the official launcher that exercised control over your account at that time. In addition to the standard authorization function, the previous version of the Minecraft Launcher had a fairly extensive functionality for those days. For example, you could view the latest game news on the main screen, which was downloaded from the official developer’s account on Tumblr.
But the most important advantage of the old launcher was the redesigned system for updating the game client, which allowed you to download and replace only those files that were to be changed when updating the game. In fact, this significantly saved Internet traffic and made it possible to update the game client much faster. However, the function of completely restarting the game client still remained, but now you had to select the 'Force Update' parameter in the launcher settings. Few know that the old launcher from Mojang can still be used and compatible not only with the old Minecraft but also with the new game versions
