Server List

This is a rather incomplete list of Minecraft Modern servers currently in development. This page only lists servers written from scratch. For mods and wrappers, see the Utility List and the Wrapper List.

A couple things for contributors:

• If you haven't committed to your repository in a few months, it will be marked as on hiatus. Don't take it personally; just write more code and update the wiki.
• Additionally, if you haven't committed to your repository in over a year, it will be marked as inactive. Again, don't take this personally.
• Wiki editors rely on README files to gather server features. If you don't have one, you run the risk that they will read your source code to discern what your server can do. This might not be what you wanted. >:3
