Cookie notice stays dismissed
- Accepting the cookie notice is now remembered for much longer, so it no longer reappears every few days in some browsers such as Safari.
Slideshow saving fix
- Saving your server's slideshow no longer fails when an image title or summary is too long. Titles fit 32 characters and summaries 256, and the editor now tells you instead of losing your changes.
Clearer votes chart

Moderation tooling updates
- Internal moderation and anti-spam improvements.
Faster ranking corrections

- Internal moderation and anti-spam improvements.
Forms keep what you typed
- If a form can't be saved because something is missing or invalid, we now keep everything you entered and simply point out what needs fixing, instead of clearing the form and making you start over. This applies across your account, server settings, support tickets and more.
A formatting editor for your description
- Editing your server's description now gives you a simple editor with formatting buttons, a live preview and a character counter, so you can add headings, lists, links and bold text without typing the formatting by hand.
- Fixed a problem that could wrongly block some players from voting with a "you may only vote 3 times per day" message, even when they had not voted that day. Voting now works for everyone again.
Behind-the-scenes reliability fixes
- Reliability and error-handling improvements behind the scenes.
Emoji in your server listing
- You can now use emoji in your server's title, summary, description and other text. Before, an emoji could stop a listing from saving.
Faster background processing
- Performance and stability improvements.
Behind-the-scenes tidy-up
- Internal moderation and reliability improvements.
Simpler single-choice attribute fields
- When a server attribute only lets you pick one option, you now choose it from a simple dropdown instead of a tag field.
Signing out works again
- Choosing Logout from the account menu now signs you out and returns you to the home page, instead of showing a page-not-found error.
Your community's logo when you sign in
- The sign in and register pages now show your community's logo above the form, with more room to breathe.
Clearer panels in light mode
- The account and statistics panels are easier to read in light mode, with clearer highlights on the active menu item, tabs and badges.
- The account deletion screen now states plainly that your account and all of its servers are removed permanently.
Drag to arrange your slideshow
- You can now drag the images in your server's slideshow to reorder them, instead of setting a position number on each one.
- Uploading several screenshots at once is more reliable, even when they are large.
- You can suggest a new gamemode, modpack, tag or version straight from each list on your server's attributes page.
Suggest new tags for your server
- You can now suggest a new tag for your server from its manage page, and we will email you once it has been approved.
- The reviews area for your server has been redesigned with a clear rating summary and tidier review cards, each showing the reviewer's avatar.
- The images slideshow editor is now a simpler card grid that is easier to arrange.
- Your account area now opens in dark mode by default, and the statistics charts are easier to read.
- The image badge for your site now shows your server's icon alongside its rank and score.
- The Premium plans now read clearly in light mode, with each plan's price shown as a simple monthly rate.
Premium, embeds and manage polish
- The Premium page now shows everything included up front, with each plan's full price clearly labelled.
- The image badge for your own site can show your rank and score together, and grows to fit longer server names.
- Deleting a server now waits 24 hours before it can be relisted.
- Polish across your server's manage pages, including a tidier header, a clearer query setup, and a server address that fits better on phones.
Clearer embed badges
- The image badge you can add to your own site now shows its player count and rank clearly in light mode, with tidier spacing around the numbers.
- The embed builder hides options that do not apply to the badge, so it is simpler to set up.
A refreshed account area

Server manage page improvements
- On a phone, switching between the sections of your server's manage page is now a quick searchable picker instead of a long dropdown.
- Your server's connect address now highlights when you hover over it, as a reminder that you can click to copy it.
Easier server setup and account upgrades
- When you list or edit a server, we now detect your SRV record automatically and connect the right way, so there is nothing to set up by hand.
- The port is now optional, and you can paste a full address like play.example.com:25565 and we will split the host and port for you.
- Setting or changing your password now shows a strength meter and blocks very weak passwords, so your account is harder to break into.
- The vote button and embed builder have been redesigned with a live preview and a new larger size to choose from.
- You can now switch your account area between a light and a dark theme.
- Editing a server is clearer, with any problems shown next to each field, and you can copy a server's connect address in one click from its page.
Anti-spam improvements
- Internal moderation and anti-spam improvements.
A faster way to set your server's tags
- Choosing your server's gamemodes, modpacks and tags is now a quick searchable picker with removable chips, instead of a long list of checkboxes.
- Region, language and version are now searchable dropdowns that open on click, so picking the right one is faster.
More reliable vote rewards
- When a player votes for your server, the vote reward is now delivered in the background and retried automatically if your server is briefly unreachable, so far fewer votes are missed.
- If your server keeps refusing vote rewards, the owner gets a one-time email alert, and your server's manage page now shows whether vote rewards are getting through.
All the latest site updates in one place
- You can now follow every update and improvement to the site on a dedicated What's New page, with a summary of the most recent releases in the footer of every page.
Safer email changes with confirmation links
- Changing your email now sends a confirmation link to the new address. Your current email keeps working, and you stay signed in, until you confirm the change.
- Your old address always gets a heads-up notice when an email change is requested, so a change can never happen quietly without you knowing.
Faster behind-the-scenes problem detection
- Behind-the-scenes monitoring improvements so we can spot and fix problems sooner, often before they reach you.
Improved error monitoring and reliability
- Improved error monitoring across the site for steadier day-to-day reliability.
A password reset link in the sign-up message
- When you try to sign up with an email that already has an account, the "account already exists" message now includes a direct link to reset your password, so you can get back in straight away.
Clearer messages when an account already exists
- Registering with an email that already has an account now tells you to reset your password instead of silently doing nothing, so you are never left guessing why sign-up did not work.
More reliable payment and receipt emails
- Premium, featured and payment confirmation emails now send reliably, so your receipts and upgrade confirmations always arrive.
Votifier v2 support and a smoother checkout
- Servers can now use a Votifier v2 token. The right protocol is detected automatically, so your vote rewards keep working either way with no extra setup.
- Purchase and cancel buttons now show a spinner while they work, so you can see something is happening and avoid double-clicks.
- The vote captcha is easier to read and the review error messages are tidier and clearer.
Friendlier errors when voting with a bad username
- Entering an invalid username when voting now shows a clear, friendly error instead of crashing the page, so you can simply correct it and try again.
A clearer, easier to read vote captcha
- Softened the vote captcha image so real voters can actually read it and get their votes counted.
- Removed the broken audio captcha option that no longer worked.
Fairer anti-spam checks for genuine accounts
- Tuned our anti-spam checks so long-standing, genuine accounts are no longer mistakenly flagged.
Stronger behind-the-scenes spam defences
- Behind-the-scenes moderation improvements that help keep server rankings fair for everyone.
Fairer rankings and a way to appeal bans
- Servers that farm fake reviews from banned accounts now rank lower, so honest servers place higher in the lists.
- You now confirm your email before posting a review, which cuts down on spam and keeps reviews trustworthy.
- Banned accounts can now appeal the decision through a dedicated form.
Support emails you can reply to directly
- Our emails now come from a support address you can reply to directly, so getting help is one step instead of several.
- More of the changes you make to a server now update the public lists and search right away, rather than waiting for the next refresh.
Cancel your own Premium subscription

- Purchase buttons show a loading spinner while redirecting to PayPal, so you know the checkout is on its way.

Redesigned, clearer notification emails
- All notification emails have a cleaner, on-brand redesign with clearer wording that is easier to scan.
- Unsubscribe links now work properly, including a one-click "unsubscribe from everything".
- Support replies now include the staff member's message in the email itself, so you have the full context without logging in.
Server list, avatar and footer fixes
- Review avatars no longer stretch out of shape.
- Deleted servers now leave your server list straight away, instead of lingering until a refresh.
- The site footer now shows the current version.
Voting, Premium and statistics fixes

- Statistics now default to the past week, so the most useful view loads first.

A brand-new, rebuilt site
