Minecraft Java · Server owners · Free
List your Minecraft server where it can actually be judged
A free public page with live measured status, Votifier votes, a community wall and ownership verification. No bidding war for the top spot: your listing lives on its uptime and its community.
Find a group or recruit players with a Lobby
On Zlobby, you do not just browse profiles. You create a Lobby with a goal, criteria and a discussion space to gather the right people around a specific mission.
Lobby creation
Recruit players for a guild, team or event
A Lobby announces what you want to build: ranked roster, MMO guild, TTRPG table, Discord squad, carpool or convention group.
Members apply, you filter by criteria, then the group starts with a dedicated chat.

01
What your listing shows and who probes it
Zlobby queries your server directly through the Java edition's Server List Ping protocol, exactly like the game client would. The availability and latency shown are measured by Zlobby, not copied from a third-party API. Player counts, MOTD and version remain data declared by your server, and the listing labels them as such.
SRV records are supported: if your domain points to the server through _minecraft._tcp, you can enter the domain exactly as your players type it, without exposing the raw address.
02
What the free listing includes
A dedicated public page
Long description, rules, gallery, presentation video and links to your website and store.
Live status
Uptime and latency measured regularly; the history is yours and stays visible on the listing.
Votifier votes
Player votes can be forwarded to your server through Votifier to trigger your in-game rewards.
Wall and announcements
A public wall where your community speaks, and an announcement channel for wipes, events and updates.
03
Ownership is verified, not declared
Before publishing, you prove the server is yours: either by placing a temporary code in the MOTD, or through a DNS TXT record on your domain. Nobody can list your server in your place and you cannot list someone else's.
Once verified, the listing is managed from your operator console: content editing, vote statistics, optional featuring.
04
A listing that actually helps a player choose
Players comparing servers want precise answers: version and accepted version range, vanilla or modded, modpack list or link, difficulty, griefing and PvP rules, backup cadence and any map resets. A listing that answers those questions converts better than a slogan.
Your listing appears in Zlobby's Minecraft server directory, next to your community: your server's members can also gather in a Lobby to organise sessions and projects, see find Minecraft players.
05
Free first, featured if you want
The base listing is free and stays free: a pay-only directory starts with an empty index, which helps nobody. Featuring is optional, weekly, paid in credits. It changes position, never content. Status data is not for sale.
Frequent questions from Minecraft operators
Is Bedrock edition supported?
The directory covers the Java edition at launch. A Bedrock connector is planned; meanwhile, a Java listing can mention proxy-based Bedrock access in its description.
Do I need to install a plugin to be listed?
No. The probe uses the standard Server List Ping. Votifier is only needed if you want to receive votes in-game.
What happens if my server goes down?
The listing shows the measured offline status, with no editorial penalty. A server that stays unreachable for a long time eventually drops out of featured results.
Can I sell ranks and items on my store?
Your store is yours and the listing can link to it. Complying with Mojang/Microsoft's commercial guidelines remains your responsibility as an operator.
Is Zlobby affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft?
No. Zlobby is independent; Minecraft, Mojang and Microsoft belong to their respective owners.
Your server deserves more than one line in a list
Verify ownership, publish your page, hook up Votifier and let your uptime speak for you.
