I actually regularly play on minehut, I know you have to pay to get your server boosted, but like on most other places you have to pay to have a server at all. I think that even with all this pay-to-win, minehut is still a great place. I played on this one where you get random items whenever you die, and you also got an ender chest, so people repeatedly died and put the good items they got in their ender chest. Super fun

Aternos is a much better server hoster in my opinion, it has much more and better features, but you can't really publicize your server. All you can do is publicize your server using your own effort. remember this is my opinion, i dont want to start a war in this reply section

I own a few servers on Minehut. I own a Mario kart server and a paintball server and they were really fun to make and run.

I've been working on a server for quite a while now and Minehut definitely imposed a threat to my original plan. I think the idea of Minehut will last a long time (just like Roblox), however I'm sure there will be plenty of players who enjoy standalone servers. I'm hoping so anyway.

[@berneymark]

I very much doubt it will be a threat. More so the big stand alone servers like Hypixel would be. The entire MC community isn’t and will never be playing on Minehut, at least not alone.

[@MasterBroNetwork]

If you don't mind me asking, How exactly did Minehut impose a threat to your plan?

[@plumper303]

I think the most ideal version of this already exists, and I can say is pretty interesting. There's a server called Diamond Fire, which you might have heard of, and instead of having people host a server through a server panel and add plugins, it has an in-game coding system which is quite intuitive and even fun. Plus, many of the servers at the top of the list are genuinely unique and creative and have had decent effort put into them. The only downside is that they require you to pay for some things, but for what the server is, it's entirely reasonable, and I even wanted to support them. Your "server" is actually a square plot where you can build and an area for your lines of code on the side. You have to pay if you want to get more plots and ones of bigger sizes, as well as some more specialized commands, but you can still make relatively cool things with the things they offer for free. In fact, many games which didn't seem to be paid for at all and had effort put into them were at the top of the featured list. It has a great community, and the only thing that seems to be lacking is the limited space, which is unfriendly to open-world games, and survival-type servers. It's a good example, though, of how video games can produce good things at times, even if they include paid aspects!

[@kotykd6212]

Reply to this message so I will remember to check this server out

[@Slymeball]

This is a good suggestion until you realize that DF and MH serve different purposes. DF allows players to make their own unique games with their own coding system, whereas MH gives players the base for a server and tells them "go wild." Coders on DF want to make their own games, while admins on MH want to make their own servers.

[@notLinode]

Idk why Epic didn't mention it, but Minehut has a coding system as well. It's called "Skript". I don't know much about it, but what I do know is that it allows you to make custom plugins for your server. The language is really intuitive and obviously easier than Java.

[@plumper303]

@@kotykd6212 Do.

[@plumper303]

@@Slymeball Agreed. They are used for quite different things. Free server-hosters like this have one extra step-up on DF in the fact that one: they have an open world and much more space, two: they allow lots more customizability, and three: they allow created things to be much larger and connect with one another. I think each of these things are in generally about 10% of unique server ideas people might have (this estimation might be false, and probably is), so, while DF has these faults, for 90% of those ideas they could be created pretty adequately within it, or at least restricted a small amount to make it work. That’s probably the main problem with DF in that a sizeable portion of possibilities are not met. The majority is still possible, though, and ideas can still be developed effectively. DF can get most aspects generally but not all the time specifically, and in some of the minority of circumstances, not at all. There definitely needs to be something like DF that goes into the server-hosting realm so that more people have access to full capabilities, but, for now, I’m just happy that 90% of my ideas have a friendly place to go. :) I 100% agree with your assessment, though. This is just my analysis of the subject. 😊

[@clemnthyme8700]

Wait what? For me it works like shit and crashes every 30 minutes

[@RngGm]

10:36 a similar thing happens on the server diamondfire. You get a certain area of land(50x50, 100x100) and you can build in it, set the spawn. Next to it you have an area in which you can place blocks that act as code, so you can make your own game. To promote the plot, buy a plot, or buy blocks to code with, you need to get tokens. To get them, you have to play games

I've browsed all sorts of stuff, and I'll be honest, the normal servers get the most ads, which I find quite sad. Smaller servers really need a chance to shine, so while Minehut would help in concept, it doesn't help, especcially with external server advertisements

I remember when I ran the biggest server in Minehut and also started a new trend of servers. It was many years ago, but I made a server called like SkyPvP or something like that and had 20 consecutive players (max per server at the time) during all hours of the day. It was pretty much where you would jump from island to island collecting resources and then use those resources to by better pvp items to kill more players and I have a leaderboards and secret items and weapons and all that stuff. Afterwards, so many servers started doing the same thing. But then because Minehut was so unsecure and a guy came on and just annihilated the server and absolutely destroyed it. Was a great time though and I made a ton of friends who helped build the server and who I would help build their own servers afterwards for a little while.

[@ClassicBoost]

Minehut was completely different when I first joined in 2019, it didn't had advertisements to servers that's not from Minehut and had less pay to win servers. Also the server is barely noticeable lol (since it was the 50th populated sever in 2019). It was pretty good back then, but now it's really different.

[@ZyroCube]

I remember back in like 2021 when minehut would have genuine servers at the top (i host a server which once reached 1st on the list with ~100 players back then) and would have actually enjoyable servers, now it seems that minehut mostly cares about money and doesn't want to deal with the big issues (like people using bots to advertise servers in the lobby which is against the rules yet they dont care, or the fact minehut goes down frequently) its also really sad how all the good servers got overshadowed by the effortless cashgrabs which fill up the top server list, making it almost impossible to grow a server. Minehut really is just a breeding ground for scummy people who want to make quick cash from gullible children.

Some years ago, I started playing on a server hosted on minehut, it was called "10". The idea of the server was that every 10 seconds you would either get a dirt block or a cobble block, and with that and only that, in the middle of the void, you could craft a large list of items through custom recipes (a sappling from dirt, etc). Needless to say, i've never seen that idea on any other server or minigame ever (excluding those unoriginal servers where you can get any single item), and I think "10" only existed because of how easy it is to create a server on Minehut and make any idea come true. To my knowledge, this "10" server ended a long time ago, but it was one of the most entertaining activities I had back then.

Nowadays you can only really find that with mods or in SMP's where the only threat can be other players (or if you spawn in a massive desert biome which no village or temple anywhere near). Mojang can make mobs slightly faster or stronger, give them more health or make them require less absence of light to spawn so they can spawn more frequently in slightly more illuminated areas. They can and in my personal opinion absolutely should make certain resources and structures exceedingly more rare. Again #BringBackWaitOutTheNight #MakeSurvivalMinecraftSurvivalAgain

Minehut is a scam. Recently we have switched to Apex hosting, and it made me finally realize how bad minehut actually is. Some friends and I have a large server (going for a few years) that we cannot play anymore because the performance is so bad. We spend a lot of money buying a better server plan, but it did nothing since it only purchased extra RAM, not storage space, so our world was too big to run. We still did not learn from that though. We wanted to upgrade a different server, and there was an 80% off sale, it was such a good deal, so we bought the credits for the sale. (keep in mind, this is being advertised in big print everywhere, even when you are on your own server, it is advertised in your chat), only to learn, after we bought the credits (non-refundable) that the sale was only for NEW servers no existing ones, so again we wasted money. With all the money we spent, we might as well have made our own server on a dedicated PC. Don't use minehut. We switched to apex hosting and are paying 30/month for a modded server always online. That is not possible and would be about 3-4x more expensive with minehut.

[@tennisontower8003]

I personally just decided to buy a used workstation PC for $300, and use that to host my servers. I can run multiple servers for MC and any other game simultaneously. The upside for me though, is that I host personal servers, played between me and friends across different games. Each MC server doesnt run more than 10 people at any given point, so I dont need crazy hardware, and the ability to set up new servers for different games whenever I want is worth the cost. It might save me money in the long term, instead of a monthly cost, but it is a much higher bar to entry. If you are trying to start a massive online server though, I do not recommend doing this. It is great for small groups of friends, but if I tried to open this up to the public and host a "real" server, I could see the system being overwhelmed pretty quickly.

[@MicahIsBatman2]

I remember trying to make a private SMP with friends years ago with Minehut, and not only did it not work the first time, but when I got it working, it was so laggy it was unplayable.

[@nathanitet]

It might seem like the system is being abused, but if it's this blatant and this engrained, it's not a bug it's a feature. If the people who run Minehut wanted change, they would make change. It is their platform, they have all the power in the world to do so.

[@gameprolegend5094]

1 of my fav minehut servers was magerpg I rly hope someone recreates it again cuz the old magerpg kept crashing

[@Koiye2Kool]

as an ex owner of one of the top 3 most popular minehut servers pay 2 win is almost the only way to make money i still regret it but because server costs are so high even though i was making 100$+ a week i was losing money because of server cost advertising and other costs overall the experience is horrible working with minehut is a struggle and players complain about pay 2 win and i cant really do that much about it without losing tons of money and servers life expectancy are very low like around 1-2 months because of all of the issues

[@nightwatch3889]

My personal thanks for including the music in the description. Rare to see

[@Flipdagoose]

one time i got banned for ''harassment'' on minehut for saying: ''anyone else dislike how minehut doesnt tell you what version a server is run on before you join?'' real shit

[@gluester55]

i got muted for saying "guys join aRealNotAtAllGenericBoxServer123"

[@egacool]

7:25 the server you showed off was actually something that i think is considered a "skymine server". an actual farming server has basically the same layout of a gen server but instead of gens you have to create crop farms to sell.

[@softees5617]

As a minehut server creator and moderaor i'm here to awnser some questions. - External servers are brought to appear on minehut but are really hosted somewhere else. This is for the extra players from minehut ading, and people looking for a new server to play. Minehut supports external server especially meaning you can have external ips, and what not. - Also YES people bot. - Minehut has a history of c+p server "money grabs" are common. - Golf is an official minehut creation. Which was an event at one point which is why it didn't have many players. -

[@Familyguycllips]

well its pretty neat being able to hack on 99% of them without a ban

[@moneycat105]

I tried minehut then i realised its not very good if you wanna make your own server for a couple friends. I have found aternos to be the best on specs for free. But minehut isn't bad for making a smp or a open server especially compared to the difficulty of getting free server plans on server list websites.

[@twisteddreams1561]

Gen servers and grinding games are trending right now in minecraft, slowly taking over SMP's even outside of Minehut.

[@KittyUZutty]

I also love how you pronounce “Pepsi” “bebsy”

[@Jake-fd4rf]

As a long time player of LightSkies, it didn't take me long ti realize how corrupt some server owners there are as the server on the top ads "DireSkies"'completely copies every aspect of lightskies and makes there ranks actually give benefits instead if cosmetics

[@samsonsoturian6013]

The high prices they're charging is likely to cover the cost of the free version they have to get people in the door

[@finnyjam8252]

I used to run this private SMP where at least 15 different people had been on and built stuff on this awesome island city, then suddenly out of nowhere minehut decides to reset the world. Safe to say I'm never touching that piece of shit again

[@WheatenKarma]

The Wooden Spoon is the best SMP I've played on, I've played it for like 6 years now and haven't gone elsewhere. Most others I've tried have either been P2W, or the rules are extremely strict in order to keep lag to a minimum.

[@dany_fg]

It's like the google search scams.

[@Wizardrex562]

Me and my friends play together on Minecraft servers, I think they are good just to play with your friends and maybe show your creations to the public once in a while.

[@redhorizonentertainment6560]

I used to know the provider that Minehut uses to host the servers. I’ll see if I can find it again. Well that was when it was still owned by Luuke, and not Superleague

[@Blecker3646]

Greed isn't the only problem on Minehut; It's the community. Constantly advertising it for kids, and then joining servers only to get called racist remarks, finding hackers, & incompetent children. They don't tend to show this stuff on the servers they advertise, but if you try using the join random servers feature, that's when you really see this stuff. They also seem to encourage the chat report system, making it so if you have a modified version or 1.19.3, or playing an older version, you are NOT allowed to talk in their lobby. The last bit of information I'll give about the community is the fact that some people have used texture packs on Minehut to spread hate messages, or even possibly leak your personal details. The kind of Minehut you see on the surface is completely different. It's only when you dig a little deeper you find stuff like this.

[@BabanDlh]

I knew a crazy SCP minehut server, that was amazing SCPs were great, guns too and it has a lot of staff members connected. They had a discord were you can pass test to rank up and if you abuse something you get demoted. That was beautiful.

[@ebjebj629]

Sounds cringe ngl

[@aidenking3557]

Minehut used to have atleast 2/10 popular box servers not p2w not boosting player count and stuff but now its a 1/50 What i mean by this is 8:39 until 9:05 if anyone can find these small servers and real communities i believe they should be shared

[@1kwerty7]

you should check out mine hut creative servers. i'd estimate each one lasts about 20 min before someone griefs it

[@Bigzthegreat]

Minehut is too tunnel visioned on their bottom line, until they realize that less servers = less players they'll keep digging themselves in a hole. By adding ads it increases pressure on server owners to add grindy/afk features since that's what allows them to get the most players. At the same time, it forces out people who can't afford or don't want to do that to artificially boost their player numbers. The pricey server options, especially for larger ones, seems like it would stunt the growth of any large Minehut servers.

[@PixelizedGaming]

played on minehut back when it was smaller, had a server which consistently hit 30 players. Many of the servers on minehut were basically the same gens/skymines servers copy pasted with barely any difference at the time, i wonder how it is now

[@PixelizedGaming]

after watching the video: oh man they somehow got even worse than i remembered

[@derpo6396]

This screams Roblox to me, a genuinely useful engine that is incredibly accessible and quite user-friendly. But due to mismanagement most front page games end up as simulators that are basically the farming games in Minehut servers. There are some genuine hidden gems in there made by people who are passionate about what they make, but they get drowned out by the sheer abundance of shitty copy and paste game modes made by developers who just want money.,

[@Xtrast4r]

I know someone online who was hosting a server on minehut and I was an admin, the server costed around 40$/ month and it crashed and lagged a lot while it had a reasonable amount of plugins. Minehut is only okay if you use the free version for very small servers with a max of 10 players and probablye 10 plugins.

[@ashleychan5590]

As a Minehut Server owner. I can say this video is really informative:/ There are also some creative minehut server. FullTrials - A mini game server (voted to play) every 5 minute, a minigame will be voted and played.

[@Gurtopolis]

At 10:15 , I actually used to play look. It was a pretty fun unique spin on the randomizer void servers. But it recently got reset and now is, while even more unique, very boring and grindy unlike its past. I almost actually got a trident from the custom villager trades(villagers and emeralds are kinda insane hard to get. And even harder to keep safe since theres a 200 border.), but it reset and went down for a whole month. Which made me bummed out.

[@theverylol30]

i actually go there sometimes and go to random servers, i mostly get box servers which I hate but sometimes i get survival SMPs i even have a screenshot of something one of the members built with me in it i even have my own minehut server

[@djryandumais]

used to play on minehut a lot back when it was first started. used to be way less pay to win and felt more like a community back then. now all these external servers and “credits” and all p2w servers just ruined it. especially when my credentials were sold in the leak they had a few years back. miss the old minehut

[@liwethrpgmc1463]

Hi there, I'm reaching out as the owner of "Liweth," an RPG Minecraft server with a focus on territory fights, item/gem crafting, bosses, quests, and a unique skills system. We believe these features could make for an engaging review on your channel. Our server has been well-received for its immersive gameplay and the depth of features like territory fights, intricate item and gem crafting systems, challenging bosses, interactive quests, and a diverse range of skills. If you're interested in exploring and potentially reviewing Liweth, I'd be glad to provide more information or arrange a tour to showcase what makes our server distinct and exciting. Thanks for considering!

[@totovaretardslap7986]

As someone who sometimes plays there I like the server, there are no servers that have most of the stuff there

[@uncagedpine9589]

As someone who does not even play Minecraft often, I have to say your videos are incredibly entertaining. Good job man

[@kessiskus]

I have never thought about the paid options i always thought that was odd that they had no specs . I love minehut because it probably the best option for free except for the join randoms server part bc a lot of times when im setting it up it will be griefed b4 ive joined

[@yangkai1646]

I remeber old minehut. it was really good, most things were free and it was run through ads that were in the lobby and on the website. almost no server that were pay to win (or if it was, it wasn't as shoveded in your face). I used to run a server on there that was RPG (a little like wynn craft but on a much smaller bases) based running only 10~20 players daily with 3~5 of them being staff member but it didn't really matter as we were having fun in this server we made after spending lots of time and like $6 max for a plugin. then that had a massive hacking incident and my server got deleted, I couldn't be bothered recreating everything from scratch and again and closed it, rejoin 3~5 years later and this is what minehut had become something that I couldn't even get more then 1GB of ram with out paying.
