This is one of the most important steps for SEO. You will fill in:

  • Short Server Description (20–150 characters)
  • Full Server Description (50–2500 characters)

We highly recommend writing your main description manually and then using AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini to refine it and translate it into English, Spanish and Portuguese. The more complete your descriptions, the higher your server’s ranking potential.

5. Configure server IP and Votifier

  • Server IP or Hostname: A hostname is preferable.
  • Server Port (Java): Leave blank if using 25565.
  • Bedrock IP: Leave empty to use the same address.
  • Bedrock Port: Leave blank if using 19132.
  • Query Port: We recommend leaving this option disabled.

Enabling Votifier

Activating Votifier is extremely important to receive votes from ListaMC. Once enabled, fill in:

  • Votifier IP or Hostname
  • Votifier Port
  • Public Key

Use NuVotifier with a vote-reward plugin to motivate players to vote. More votes mean a higher position in the server list.

6. Upload your media: Icon, Banner and Video
