Multiplayer Refined

The vanilla server list works fine. It's just missing a few things.

Nothing to install on the server side. It's all client-side.

Getting your server list under control

Folders. Nest them, colour-code them, collapse them, drag servers around between them.

Favourites and pins keep the two or three servers you actually play on at the top, instead of buried in a wall of entries.

Tags and notes show up in search too, so "that one with the good shops" is actually findable months later.

Multi-select with Ctrl and Shift, then tag, move, favourite, or delete a whole batch at once instead of clicking through each one.

Drag to reorder. A gap opens up where the row's about to land so you know where it's going before you drop it.

Archive servers you've stopped playing but aren't ready to delete yet.

Nothing to play tonight?

There's a real button for that, sitting right below your servers and above the
LAN section - basically where you end up after scrolling the whole list and
liking none of it. It opens a grid of actual servers to browse.

Each card pings the server directly, so the icon, MOTD, player count and ping
reflect what that server's doing right now, not whatever a listing site cached
an hour ago. Right-click a card to join it, save it, drop it into a folder,
copy the IP, or search by one of its tags.

Only shows servers you can actually join - filtered to your version, with modpack servers left out since you can't connect without the pack anyway.

Tabs across the top for each source, scrollable once there's more than fit.

Where the listings come from

VoxelRank · Ranked public list. They filter by version on their end, which handles cross-version proxies correctly
Modrinth · Their own server directory. Only lists servers you can join without extra mods
Minehut · Their public browser, usually a few hundred servers
MineKeep · Public lobby list
Minefort · Whatever's running there at the time

On top of that: your own saved servers, your Direct Connect history, a small
bundled list of the well-known ones, and any .json server list you or a
friend drops into config/refined/catalogs/.

Nothing gets fetched until you actually click a tab. Just opening the finder doesn't contact anyone.

No internet scanning, and there won't be one added. The only APIs that can
enumerate arbitrary Minecraft servers are mass scanners built to find
unprotected ones. Every server listed here is one its owner chose to publish.

Knowing what you're joining

Click the signal bars on any row to get a ping graph, with player counts alongside it.

The player list tooltip shows actual player heads instead of a plain list of names.

Tracks how often a server's been reachable this session, so you can spot which one keeps dying on you.

LAN games get their own tab that only appears when there's actually a LAN game running - no permanent row pretending to scan.

Other bits

Custom backgrounds, with blur, scale and dim sliders so you can dial it in.

Auto-refresh on whatever interval you want.

Undo a delete - folder, tags, notes, all of it. Because you'll turn off the confirmation prompt eventually and then delete the wrong server.

Import and export everything, for moving between installs or sharing your setup with someone else.

Shortcuts

Keys · Does

Ctrl C / Ctrl V · Copy an address, or add one from the clipboard
Ctrl Z · Undo that delete

Worth knowing

Your servers.dat stays a normal servers.dat. Folders, tags and notes are stored separately in config/refined/, so uninstalling leaves you with a plain server list, no leftover mess.

No folders, no favourites, empty search box - it behaves just like vanilla. None of this is forced on you.
