Question 1

Is MCRank really free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes! MCRank is currently in beta and all features are 100% free during this period. This includes unlimited server listings, detailed analytics, vote tracking, server blog posts, email notifications, and more. No credit card required, no hidden fees. Pricing may change after we exit beta, but we are committed to keeping MCRank affordable for all server owners.

Question 2

How do I add my Minecraft server to MCRank?

Accepted Answer

Adding your server takes less than 2 minutes. Simply sign in with Discord or Google, enter your server's IP address and name, and you're live! You can then customize your listing with descriptions, tags, images, and configure optional features like Votifier integration.

Question 3

Does MCRank support both Java and Bedrock servers?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! MCRank supports both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition servers. If your server supports both platforms (like through Geyser), you can list both connection addresses on a single server page so players can find you regardless of which version they play.

Question 4

What is Votifier and how does it work with MCRank?

Accepted Answer

Votifier (and NuVotifier) is a Spigot/Paper plugin that lets you reward players for voting for your server. When a player votes on MCRank, we send a secure notification to your server which can trigger rewards like in-game items, money, or ranks. MCRank supports standard Votifier protocol and provides test vote functionality to verify your setup.

Question 5

What analytics and statistics does MCRank provide?

Accepted Answer

MCRank provides comprehensive analytics including: page views and unique visitors, vote counts and voting trends, player count history with peak time tracking, traffic source analysis (where your visitors come from), server uptime monitoring, and historical data charting. All of this helps you understand your audience and optimize your server's growth.

Question 6

How do vote reminders work?

Accepted Answer

Players who vote for your server can opt-in to receive email reminders when their vote cooldown expires (typically every 24 hours). This helps increase repeat votes and keeps your server visible in our rankings. Vote reminders are completely optional and players control their notification preferences.

Question 7

Will I get notified if my server goes offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes! MCRank monitors your server 24/7 and sends you instant email notifications when your server goes offline or comes back online. You can also schedule maintenance windows to prevent false alerts during planned downtime. This helps you respond quickly to unexpected outages and minimize player frustration.

Question 8

What are maintenance windows?

Accepted Answer

Maintenance windows let you schedule planned downtime for your server. During a maintenance window, MCRank won't send you offline alerts and your server page will show a "Maintenance" status instead of "Offline." You can create one-time or recurring maintenance schedules (like weekly restarts) directly from your dashboard.

Question 9

How can I promote my server on MCRank?

Accepted Answer

Start by completing your server listing with a compelling description, eye-catching banner image, and relevant tags. Use the built-in blog feature to post updates and news. Set up Votifier to reward players who vote - this encourages more votes and improves your ranking. Share your MCRank page on social media and your Discord server to drive traffic.

Question 10

How does the server ranking system work?

Accepted Answer

Server rankings are based on several factors including vote count, player activity, server uptime, and listing completeness. Servers with more recent votes, higher player counts, and better uptime rank higher. Having a complete profile with description, images, and active blog posts also helps improve your visibility.
