What is SMP in Minecraft?
SMP stands for Survival Multiplayer — Minecraft survival focused on shared worlds, community markets, and long-running communities.
- Long-running community worlds. Build, trade, and explore alongside other players on persistent SMP servers — no resets, no minigames.
- Free on Java and Bedrock. Every server in this list is free to play. Crossplay between PC and mobile via Geyser.
- Coin economies and player markets. Most SMPs layer their own currency, NPC merchants, or Auction House on top of vanilla survival.
- Town hubs and claims. Many SMPs include claim systems, towns, or nations so your builds stay safe while you're offline.
- Want the official Minehut SMP? Connect to smp.minehut.com on Java or smp.bedrock.minehut.com on Bedrock — see /smp for the full breakdown.
Frequently asked questions
How do I join an SMP server on Minehut?

Minehut runs its own official SMP at smp.minehut.com on Java and smp.bedrock.minehut.com on Bedrock. It has a coin economy, player Auction House, Crates, four worlds, and full Java/Bedrock crossplay. See /smp for the full details.
