A sponsored place for your Minecraft server.
Three auction placements and one community voting placement sit at the top of the server listings. Choose the route that fits your community.
How placements are awarded
Positions one to three: auction winners, ranked by their bids. A placement is activated only after payment is verified before the auction payment deadline.
Position four: the eligible server with the most votes in the previous period, excluding servers receiving paid placements.
Sponsored servers appear at the top of the directory. On filtered listings, your server must match the selected version, game mode, or other filters.
Placement gives your listing visibility. Player interest and visits depend on the people browsing and what your server offers.

From listing to sponsored placement
- Prepare your account. Add an active server you own, complete your billing information, and accept the auction terms.
- Set your maximum bid. Bids are in whole US dollars. The system adjusts your bid against competing limits without exceeding your maximum.
- Pay if you win. Review your winning amount and complete payment from your account before the published deadline. Payment must be confirmed for the placement to appear.
Before you bid
How much does a sponsored placement cost?
There is no fixed placement price. The amount depends on bidding in that auction. Set a maximum you are willing to pay and review the auction terms before bidding.
Which payment methods are available?
Online checkout is currently unavailable. Contact support if you have a winning bid awaiting payment.
Payment availability is checked again at checkout.
Can one server receive more than one placement?
Each server appears in one sponsored position per period. Servers receiving paid placements are excluded when the free voting placement is selected. You can bid separately for different servers you own.
Why can’t I place a bid?
Bidding requires an active server you own, completed billing information, accepted auction terms, and an account that is not banned. The auction must also be open for bids.
What happens if payment is not confirmed in time?
An unpaid or unverified win does not activate a sponsored placement. Review the payment deadline and auction terms before committing to a bid.
