What's new on CraftRank
The site keeps improving: here is everything added recently, for players and for server teams. The ranking itself never changes: it only counts players' votes.

"Launcher required": no more players lost when connecting
Server teams: if your server is played with your own launcher (modded, custom launcher), tick "Launcher required" in "Visuals & links" and add the download link. A badge shows on your page and, when a player copies your IP, a window tells them, with the official link and a few safety tips.
-
Servers recommended by CraftRank
A new block on the home page features servers picked automatically, with a score out of 100: complete page, votes, different players, uptime, reviews, vote rewards and activity. No paid offer counts and the ranking does not change. Server teams: your score and the point worth the most are in "My servers". Details: /en/serveurs-recommandes
-
Your monthly recap as an image and a Discord badge that updates itself
On the 1st of each month, you get your server's recap as an image (rank, votes, players) with a text ready to post on Discord and TikTok; the link shows the visual as a preview. And in "Share", the "Ranked on CraftRank" badge posts your rank and vote link in a Discord channel, updated every hour, without a bot: a simple webhook is enough.
-
A free Sponsor week at 30 votes, and a page to present the site
New server? As soon as you reach 30 votes in a month (from at least 10 players), a Sponsor week is offered automatically, once per server; your progress shows in "My servers". The ranking itself stays based on votes only: /en/offre-de-lancement. And to convince your team or your host, the "Why CraftRank?" page brings together the site's real figures and a press kit: /en/pourquoi-craftrank
-
Discord kit, your real Google searches and the effect of rewards
In "Share", the Discord kit gives you messages ready to copy, filled with your real rank (votes missing to climb, days left, top voters). Your "Google visibility" page now shows the searches that lead to your page. And "My servers" tells you how many more votes servers that reward their players get.
-
Your report as a PDF and your Google visibility score
The monthly report can be downloaded as a PDF: one page with the figures, votes per day and where your visitors come from, to share with your staff. And the new "Google visibility" page (in My servers) scores your page out of 100 and tells you what to improve to show up better on Google: text, searched words, reviews, news, link from your website.
-
Pages of foreign servers translated automatically
A Spanish, German or Polish server? Its description, presentation and rules are now translated automatically into English on /en, with a link to the original text. Server teams: the language of your page is detected automatically, and you can also choose it in "Edit".
-
Season history, Votifier checked and RSS feeds
Your past seasons show on your page. When you change your Votifier settings, the site checks right away that it answers. And every server has its RSS feed (news, events, seasons) to plug into a Discord bot: the "RSS feed" link is on your page.
-
Site records and version comparisons
Most votes in a month, longest voting streak, most players online…: every record is on /en/records. And to pick a version, new pages compare 1.8 and 1.21, 1.12 and 1.16, 1.21 and 26.x… with the servers that accept both: /en/serveurs-minecraft/version
-
"Up-to-date page" badge and season statistics
Confirm in one click in "My servers" that your details are up to date (version, address, modes): the "Up-to-date page" badge reassures players for 60 days. And if you announced a season, the Statistics page shows how many players saw your countdown, followed you and were notified.
-
Told when your votes drop
If your votes are more than 30% below last month at the same date, you are told (notification and email) with tips suited to your page, in time to climb back before the end of the month.
-
The upcoming seasons calendar
Server teams: add the date of your next season, wipe, new map or opening in "Edit": a countdown shows on your page and in the ranking, and your followers are told the day before and at launch. Players: every upcoming season is here: /en/prochaines-saisons-minecraft
-
Your statistics compared with last month
Votes, players who vote, page visits and copied addresses: the Statistics page now compares this month with the same days of last month, with the change in percent and your end-of-month rank.
-
"X vs Y" comparisons
Two close, active servers now get their own comparison page (votes, reviews, players online, versions), to help players who hesitate between them. They are created automatically and have no effect on the ranking: /en/comparatif
-
Versions 26.x have their pages
The site understands the new Minecraft numbering (26.1, 26.2…). Server teams: write it in the "Version" field of your page (for example "1.8 - 26.1") to appear on the page of each version covered. Players: find a server that works with your version: /en/serveurs-minecraft/version
-
Declare your plugins
Tick your server's plugins (mcMMO, Towny, GriefPrevention, Geyser…) in "Edit": they show on your page, and your server appears on the pages explaining each plugin to players: /en/plugins-minecraft
-
Inactive pages: warned before any hiding
If your server does not answer at all for 30 days, you are told by email and in "My servers"; one click on "The server is coming back soon" gives you 14 more days. Otherwise the page is hidden 7 days later, and comes back automatically as soon as the server answers (votes and reviews kept).
-
A checklist to launch your server
New servers now have a 7-step list in "My servers" (page, Verified badge, rewards, Discord bot, first news, first 10 votes, vote button) with a progress bar and one small reminder a day during the first week.
-
Your server celebrates its anniversary
Every year on its listing date, your server shows a "🎂 2 years" badge (for example) on its page and in the ranking for 7 days, and the bot celebrates in your Discord.
-
Schedule your news and events
Write a news or an event in advance and pick the publishing date and time (up to 60 days): it goes live by itself, and your followers are notified at that moment. You can also publish it right away or cancel it.
-
Alert when your server is offline
The site checks your server every 5 minutes: if it has not answered for 15, 30 or 60 minutes (your choice), your team gets an email and, if you add a webhook, a message in your Discord staff channel, then another as soon as it is back. Settings in "Edit", Offline alert section.
-
Partners: your banner statistics
Partner server? Your Share page now shows your partner banner displays, the visits it brings and the votes that follow, and warns you if it is no longer detected on your website.
-
Server of the month: animated badge, card and visuals to share
Your server is elected Server of the month? On your Share page, get the animated badge, a golden card to embed on your website with a Vote button, and two visuals ready to post on TikTok and Instagram (Story and post).
-
Four new strengths to tick
No forced PvP, Close to vanilla, Weekly events and Adult community: tick them in "Edit" to appear on the matching "Best servers for…" pages. New automatic pages too: vote rewards, small communities, most players, open 24/7: /en/meilleurs-serveurs
-
Apply for the Partner grade
Partner badge, a spot in the home page showcase and a banner with your name: the /en/devenir-partenaire page checks your server's criteria live and lets you apply as soon as they are met. Free, and it never changes the ranking.
-
Your votes shown in a Discord channel
Paste a Discord webhook URL in the "Webhook URL" field of your page: every vote shows up in the channel with the player's name. The result of the last call is now shown under the field, with an explanation if something goes wrong.
-
"Java + Bedrock (cross-play)" option
Your server also accepts mobile and console players? Choose "Java + Bedrock (cross-play)" as your page's edition and enter the Bedrock port: it is shown on your page, in "How to join" and by the bot, and you appear on the mobile, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch pages.
-
The live ranking in your Discord
With the classement-direct command, the bot shows the month's top 10, your server's rank and today's votes in the channel of your choice, updated every hour. Your players see where you stand without leaving Discord.
-
Three new commands for your players
In your Discord: rejoindre (the IP and the Java and Bedrock steps), evenements (your upcoming events) and profil (a player's votes this month and favourite servers).
-
The Discord bot celebrates your wins
In your vote reminder channel, the bot posts when your server reaches a new best rank of the month ("Aetheria climbs to 3rd!"), when the vote goal is reached and for every 5-star review. Choose the announcements on your Share page.
-
A more reliable Discord bot
The bot now answers all its commands instantly (lier, vote, top, classement). If linking your Discord did not work before, try again with the lier command and the code from your Share page.
-
Your page answers players' questions on Google
Every server page now shows "Quick facts" (IP, version, playable on mobile or console, players online, Discord, reviews), readable by Google, and a title tuned for "server name + IP" searches.
-
"Vote button installed" badge
Put the vote button or widget on your website: we detect it every week and your page shows the "Vote button installed" badge. Players vote in one click, and these links help your page on Google. The codes are on your Share page.
-
Publish your server's news
New season, update, event: publish news from your owner space. It shows on your page and on the News page, and your followers are notified: /en/actus
-
Two new widgets for your website
"Top voters" (the month's top 5 with a Vote button) and "Player reviews" (average rating and latest reviews), to copy from your Share page.
Server teams also receive these news by email (they can turn it off in their settings).
