As we reflect on the Minecraft landscape of 2021, several servers have distinguished themselves, offering unforgettable gameplay and capturing the collective imagination of the Minecraft community. This article shines a spotlight on the top Minecraft servers of 2021.
1. Hypixel
As one of the largest and most popular Minecraft servers, Hypixel continued its dominance into 2021. Known for its wide array of mini-games such as SkyWars, Bed Wars, and Build Battle, Hypixel delivers an action-packed gaming experience. It's a one-stop hub for players seeking diverse gameplay options and a lively player community.
2. Mineplex
Mineplex is a long-standing server known for its variety of game modes and active player base. With a plethora of games including survival games, Block Hunt, and Draw My Thing, Mineplex has something for every Minecraft player. In 2021, Mineplex continued to innovate, introducing new game modes and community events.
3. Minecraft Middle Earth
For fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Minecraft Middle Earth offers a unique server experience. The server is a recreation of Middle Earth in Minecraft, with iconic locations like the Shire, Rivendell, and Mordor meticulously built by players. In 2021, the server continued its expansion, adding more areas and hosting themed events.
4. 2b2t
Labelled as the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft, 2b2t offers a raw, survival-only experience. There are no rules, no staff, and the entire world is left to the players' devices. Despite its chaotic nature, or perhaps because of it, 2b2t has maintained a dedicated player base and marked 2021 with its unique brand of lawless Minecraft.
5. Hermitcraft
While not a public server, Hermitcraft has cemented its place in the Minecraft community with its group of dedicated YouTubers. This private, whitelisted server hosts various Minecraft creators who play, collaborate, and often engage in friendly rivalry. Hermitcraft's seventh season, which began in 2020, ran well into 2021 and continued to captivate viewers with its intricate builds and engaging community dynamics.
Looking back, 2021 was a year that showcased the variety and vitality of the Minecraft server community. From the high-energy mini-games of Hypixel and Mineplex to the grand scale builds of Minecraft Middle Earth and Hermitcraft, to the anarchic landscape of 2b2t, the year was filled with engaging multiplayer experiences. These servers, each in their own way, advanced the digital frontiers of Minecraft, offering spaces where creativity, community, and adventure flourished. As we move forward, these servers set the stage for another exciting year in the limitless world of Minecraft.
