Minecraft Server List App by TOP OF GAMES: Honest Review + How to Join Servers From Your Phone

Minecraft Server List is a free Android app from TOP OF GAMES LTD that turns a phone into a browsable directory of public Minecraft servers. You search or scroll a popularity-sorted list, open a server to see its address, live player count and supported versions, copy the address with one tap, then join it inside Minecraft on the same phone or on your PC. It lists both Java and Bedrock servers, works partly offline, and does not ask you to sign in.

What is the Minecraft Server List app?

It is a discovery tool, not a launcher. The app pulls together public server listings and presents them in a dark interface styled after Minecraft's own multiplayer menu. According to its Google Play description, each entry shows the server address and port, current and maximum players, supported Minecraft versions, the server MOTD with Minecraft colour formatting, vote counts, and the server's location and categories.

You cannot play inside the app. Its job ends when you have the address; from there you switch to Minecraft itself. That distinction matters for expectations and for safety, and the developer states it plainly in the listing.

Is it an official Minecraft app?

Is it free, and does it have ads?

Key features

• Browse servers — a list of online servers sorted by popularity, with player counts, status and version compatibility visible at a glance.
• Search — filter by name, game mode or keyword to find Survival, PvP, Skyblock, Anarchy, SMP, Prison and similar categories.
• Server details — address and port with tap-to-copy, online/maximum players, supported versions, colour-formatted MOTD, vote and popularity stats, plus location and category tags.
• Favourites — save servers for quick access; the list is stored locally on the device and stays available offline.
• Offline mode — the app caches server data so you can reopen previously loaded servers without a connection, with a banner marking cached data.
• Minecraft-style design — a dark theme modelled on the multiplayer menu, with server icons and coloured MOTDs.

Does it support Bedrock and Java servers?

Yes. The listing states the app covers both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition servers. The practical difference is in how you join. Java servers use a hostname and usually the default port. Bedrock servers almost always need an explicit port, most commonly 19132, entered in a separate field when you add the server in-game. The app shows the port in the server details, so copy both parts.

How to find and join a server from your phone

1. Open the app and pick a category. Scroll the popularity-sorted list, or use search for a specific game mode such as "skyblock" or "lifesteal".
2. Open a server and check it is a fit. Look at the current player count (an active server is a good sign), the supported versions, and whether it is a Java or Bedrock listing. Match that to the edition you play.
3. Copy the address. Tap the server address to copy it. Note the port shown next to it for Bedrock servers.
4. Switch to Minecraft: Java Edition. Go to Play → Multiplayer → Add Server, paste the address into the Server Address field, choose Done, then select the server and press Join Server.
5. Or switch to Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Go to Play → Servers tab → Add Server, give it any name, paste the address, enter the port (try 19132 if none is shown), save, then tap the server to connect.
6. Save the ones you like. Back in the app, tap the heart icon so the server lands in Favourites for next time.

App versus a website server list

Pros and cons

Strengths: no sign-in, a familiar Minecraft-style layout, tap-to-copy addresses, offline browsing of cached servers, and a single list that spans both editions. It is a genuinely quick way to go from "I want a new server" to "I'm connecting" on a phone.

Trade-offs: it contains ads and in-app purchases; you still need Minecraft installed and a separate step to join; and, as with any third-party directory, a listed server can be offline or on a version you do not run. The app shows live status, so check it before you copy.

Alternatives

On Bedrock, the game's own featured servers tab lists large partnered networks with no third-party app at all. Web directories such as the Minecraft.how server list give you heavier filtering, voting and uptime history on a full screen. Many large networks also publish their address directly on their own website or Discord, which is the most reliable source when you already know which server you want.

Troubleshooting

• Server not showing in the list: pull to refresh, or check whether you are viewing cached data (the app shows a banner). Live results need a connection.
• Address does not connect: confirm the server is online in the app, that your Minecraft version matches the supported range, and that you entered the port for Bedrock servers.
• "Can't connect to world" on Bedrock: re-add the server with port 19132, and make sure you are on a release version rather than a beta or preview build.

The verdict

If you mostly play Bedrock on a phone and want a fast, no-login way to discover servers, the Minecraft Server List app does that job well and looks the part. Just remember what it is: a directory that hands you an address. The ads and purchase prompts are the price of the free tier, and the actual joining still happens in Minecraft.

See the Minecraft Server List listing on Google Play for the current version, permissions and screenshots, or get it on Google Play to try it.

Disclosure: The Minecraft Server List app is an independent, third-party server directory. It is not an official Minecraft app and is not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft. It helps you discover servers; you still join them inside Minecraft itself.
