Survival Servers That Still Accept 1.8

Proxies advertising a range that reaches back to 1.7 or 1.8, which matters more in some gamemodes than others: old-combat PvP is a genuinely different game to modern combat.

A wide range is also a decent signal that the server is not going to lock you out the week a new Minecraft version lands.

7 servers on our list

1. #1 TalonMC Our #1

   Custom-enhanced survival built from scratch: land claiming, the economy, progression and trading are its own systems rather than off-the-shelf plugins, with custom.
