Cracked servers, also known as Offline Mode, allows for non-paying Minecraft users to have access to multiplayer games. Not only that, but because they exist apart from Mojang, Cracked servers allow for playtime during public-server outages.

Without any further ado, let’s take a look at these fan-servers to see what kinds of games they can offer!

 

10. GuildCraft

Guildcraft might have been more popular a few years back, but if you haven’t explored it yet, it’s worth checking out. There’s a decent amount of games to keep you busy, as well as regular updates.

What’s awesome about this server: 

• Factions
• Survival, a classic
• Skyblock, this is what it’s known for
• Snowball fight, always a fun way to mess around

9. ExtremeCraft

ExtremeCraft has some games that I don’t see on servers as often, such as Acid Islands and Hide and Seek. Switch things up by dropping by and trying a couple of unfamiliar games.

What’s awesome about this server: 

• Eggwars
• Acid Islands, even the name gives me chills
• Survival
• Hide and Seek, the perfect way for virtual social-distancing

8. SeaweedCraft

I know I have a weakness for pirate servers, but SeaweedCraft is perfect for all my fellow MC creatives. Part of what makes it so enjoyable for me though, is the level balance between multiplayer and PvP.

What’s awesome about this server: 

• Kit Starter
• PvP Arena, come one, come all, and face your foes
• Weekly Event! On the weekends, they do special events and minigames
• Skyblock
• Smaller crowd, more easygoing, but still a steady flow of folks
