What this page proves

Each entry below shows the address we checked, the latest successful status timestamp, whether its player count covers one server or a whole network, the advertised Minecraft version and the Bedrock-port result. These are measurements. The final ranking remains an editorial judgement based on the testing process in our methodology.

#1 TalonMC

  • Version: Minecraft Velocity 1.7.2-1.21.10
  • Bedrock: Port 19132 answered during verification

  • Player count: 532 online now. Network-wide across all gamemodes.
  • Version: Minecraft CheatBungee 1.8.x - 1.20.x

  • Latest successful check: 2026-10-14 01:05 UTC
  • Player count: 99 online now. Dedicated server count.
  • Version: Minecraft Velocity 1.7.2-26.3
  • Bedrock: Port 19132 answered during verification

  • Latest successful check: 2026-10-14 01:05 UTC
  • Player count: 1,252 online now. Network-wide across all gamemodes.

  • Bedrock: Port 19132 answered during verification
  • Review basis: ManaCube names survival first in a server message that then lists parkour, earth, PvP, skyblock, prison and creative, so this is a broad network with a survival lane rather.

  • Version: Minecraft Velocity 1.7.2-26.3
  • Bedrock: No verified Bedrock response

  • Player count: 526 online now. Dedicated server count.
  • Version: Minecraft Velocity 1.7.2-26.3
  • Bedrock: Port 19132 answered during verification
  • Review basis: BlossomCraft puts grief protection at the front of its own server message, followed by custom items, an economy and survival, which is an unusually specific set of claims to.
