Minecraft has been around for quite a while now, and it's popularity is growing however, since its official launch on November 18th, 2011, many servers have exploded, died, and been forgotten. Over the last 12 years, Minecraft has had four servers. Some were filled with chaos and drama while others were a peaceful refuge for friends.



DONALD, Australia, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ ---



Position 1 - Novylen



Date of Creation 9 April 2010,



Created by the company rbos



Address: minecraft.novylen.net



The Novylen Minecraft Server located in Canada has the official title of the oldest Minecraft Server ever built, on the 9th of April the year 2010, four months ahead of the previous owner, MinecraftOnline. If you go back, you'd see that MinecraftOnline was launched on the same day that multiplayer was created. So how was Novylen created before this?



While the server was first introduced on the day after Minecraft Multiplayer's release the map was built much earlier, since rbos, the owner, initially played the map on his singleplayer world back in the Minecraft InfDev period (specifically InfDev 20100413), four months prior to the launch of Minecraft Multiplayer. The server has not been reset. This means that a user could have hopped onto the server over 10 years ago, constructed something, and then gone for good, with their creation being the only reminder of their existence. Novylen is also far less popular than 2b2t, which means that it hasn't faced the same fate of numerous griefs, exploits and hackers. A lot of the original designs that were released in 2010 are still available in the present.



Position 2 - Nerd.nu



Date of Creation: June 10, 2009 *



Created by: (unknown); Current Head Admins: defiex, fazaden, pez252



Address: nerd.nu



Nerd.nu was launched on the 10th of June 2009, and was first launched just 3 days following Minecraft's unofficial Multiplayer release, Version 'Classic 0.0.16a'. Survival mode was not yet a feature of Minecraft at the time. Nerd.nu has hosted many Minecraft creations, as you can see in the above image. There have been a variety of game modes added to the server over the years. The most popular and longest-running is the one called 'Creative which lets players fly and build whatever they want.



Although the server was built in the beginning there are those who believe that MinecraftOnline is much older than it is. This is due to the map having been reset many times throughout the years, meaning it's not the same that it was ago. Nerd.nu's Creative gamemode is currently on it's 36th revision, which means that it has previously been reset 35 times.



- Because of the server resets mentioned earlier the decision was made that Nerd.nu cannot be considered as the oldest server, as its world is relatively new. Position 3 - Minecraft Online Date of Creation: August 4, 2010 Created By: SlowRiot



Address: MinecraftOnline.com



MinecraftOnline was launched on August 4th, 2010 and has since enjoyed the reputation of the oldest server in Minecraft's history because it was launched within an hour of Notch releasing survival multiplayer mode. Cubepack88 Since then, and with astonishment, the server has stayed online and has not been reset a single time. It doesn't look like the cobblestone conglomerate 2b2t has created.



It's amazing that the server has had staff since its inception. MinecraftOnline also has rules that players must abide by unlike 2b2t. However, it's not always the case that players adhere to the rules however during the 12 years it has been operating, more than 43,000 players have been banned. It's not the only shocking thing about it though, as the size of the world (remember, it's never been reset) has reached 26GB of storage space. That's just one world.



Position 4 - 2b2t (2builders2tools)

Address: 2b2t.org



Date of Creation: December 1, 2010 *



2b2t is one of the most well-known Minecraft servers. 2b2t was established in December of 2010. It is known as an "anarchy server". This means that there are thousands of players playing with the hacked client software, and the server is not friendly. This makes the server have a distinctive, beat-up appearance. The thing the server is most well-known for, however is its map which, since it's creation has never been reset. This means that numerous players have left and come back throughout the decades, leaving their footprints on the server for ever.



In its early days 2b2t saw a steady stream of players, fluctuating between 10 and 80 over the course of time. In June 2016, however, this changed when TheCampingRusher uploaded his first video. Since then, countless other YouTubers have recorded on the server, making 2b2t its popularity to the forefront of today's media. In 2022, the server constantly reaches over 1000 players in peak times and it doesn't appear like that number will decrease anytime soon.



These servers aren't the only servers that date back to 2011, however other servers are as well. Servers have not all been around for so long.



Popularity isn't just a matter of the past. Minecraft Server Lists have also been around since their inception and provide a list of the best Minecraft servers around. A server list (or server databank) is an informational list that includes details about a server. The information is typically comprised of details such as the name of the server, IP address and ports.
