How ranking works.

Votes decide organic order

Organic rank counts accepted, valid votes in one shared 14-day round. Every server follows the same UTC schedule. Equal totals use a deterministic ordering derived from the immutable listing ID and round start, stable within that round. Age, lifetime totals, ownership and payments do not break ties. Select Most voted (all time), Top rated, Newest or Players online for other views.

A canonical crossplay listing has one vote ledger. Appearing in both editions does not create a second listing or duplicate the platform total. Java and Bedrock identities are distinct; a typed name does not prove account ownership.

One rolling day between votes

Each normalized player identity can vote for a server once every rolling 24 hours. The receipt gives the next eligible time. Retrying the same submission does not create another vote. Historical votes are retained when the round changes. Resetting the ranking never resets your cooldown.

Community leaders during launch

During our launch phase, unbooked featured positions highlight the top-voted communities for this round and show review ratings separately. These are unpaid placements, refreshed with the current standings. With equal or zero votes, the same stable round ordering applies; no votes are invented. The normal directory remains available below. The Website Owner can end this phase when paid placements are ready.

Sponsored positions are separate

There are 3 site-wide sponsored positions, each labeled “Sponsored Slot.” These placements stay separate from organic rankings. Sponsorship does not add votes, change review ratings, or certify a server’s quality or safety.

Honest reward status

A counted website vote is separate from its reward delivery. A listener acknowledgement does not prove an in-game reward executed. Ambiguous delivery is reviewed before retrying because another send may award twice.
