Running a Minecraft server is fun, but what if it could also pay for itself or even make you some profit?
If you’re wondering how to make money from your server without breaking Mojang’s rules, this guide is for you.
Oh, and a quick tip before we start: use code BLOG30 at GGServers to get 30% off your Minecraft server — let your server pay for itself, literally!
Mojang has a strict Commercial Usage Guidelines policy. Breaking these rules can get your server blacklisted — and no one will be able to join it.
Here’s what you can do:
Never sell items or game advantages that break the fair-play spirit. Keep it fun and fair for everyone.
Ranks are one of the easiest ways to earn money legally. Just make sure these perks are visual or cosmetic.
Here are a few ideas:
Use a plugin like LuckPerms to manage ranks, and make it easy to buy them with a web store like Tebex.

Just remember: don’t give gameplay advantages in return for money.
Monetizing your Minecraft server doesn’t have to be shady. By following Mojang’s rules and keeping things fair, you can cover your hosting costs and maybe even grow a business.

I have probably written reviews before and I will probably do it each time I have noteworthy experiences with ggservers Read More For context I have ordered servers from this provider multiple times across several years While pricing changes due to general pricing changes across the market and availability of services changes according to what they can make available the one thing that has NEVER changed in my experience is their customer support I primarily order modded servers specifically with modpacks I create myself Not only is it great they allow people to host their own modpacks but they provide expert insight and support to assist their clients in making the packs run well and quickly work to solve any issues that arise And when one makes use of custom modpacks issues are frequent And yet ggservers is there to help you make it work support every time
