The verified badge

Servers that pass all five of our checks get a Verified mark on CraftRank and in the lists. Verified comes only from checks we run ourselves, never from the owner's description, and it cannot be bought. All verified servers are listed on Verified Minecraft servers.

The five checks

1. Run by its owner: listed from the owner's own account. Servers we imported count once the owner claims them.
2. Online right now: answered our last check, a few minutes ago.
3. 95% uptime or more: answered at least 95 of every 100 of our checks since it was listed, with at least three days of checks.
4. Real player count: the count changes over the day and is not stuck at the player limit. See What we detect automatically.
5. Tested by our client: we joined with our own test client to see which versions it accepts and, for Java, whether it needs a paid account.

The list is worked out again every few minutes. If a check stops passing, for example because the server goes offline, the mark goes away until it passes again.

See your progress

Open My servers, then your server's Plugin & API page, and find Verified badge. It shows each check with a tick when it passes, and “Verified” or “N of 5 checks” at the top. Most often a server is missing the badge because it is not claimed yet, was listed less than three days ago, or our test client has not reached it yet.

Show the badge

The same card has the badge code in three formats: HTML for websites, BBCode for forums and an Image link for Discord or anywhere else. The badge links to your server page and updates by itself.

• While all five checks pass, it says “Verified on CraftRank”.
• Until then, it says “Listed on CraftRank” and shows how many checks pass.
• For the light version, add ?s=light to the image address.
