Are These Minecraft Servers A SCAM?

Minecraft servers are an extremely lucrative business so what do you think would happen if everyone decided to run one well you get extremely paid to win servers with 90 of their players AFK golf sky and mogus drink bebsy with dream and watch this Roblox but in Minecraft is this Cookie Clicker all you

Do is left-click this block Welcome to The Strange World of mine Hut servers where the barrier of entry for running a Minecraft server is lowered leading to a diverse ecosystem of unique Minecraft servers and players you won’t see anywhere else but not all is as meets

The eye are these servers worth it or are they a deceptive scam designed to prey on unknowing users are servers deceiving players in an attempt to make as much money as possible and why are all the top servers not even from mine Hut well let’s explore first let’s log

Into minehart and here’s what’s different as you can see when I click the compost instead of there being a large list of mini games and game modes a selection of servers show up instead okay you see mein Hut is a network of servers run by players I’m sure you all

Know what Minecraft realms are basically a Minecraft server provided to you by Microsoft that you can pay for monthly you can also run your own server off your computer or rent a server from a third party on various Minecraft server hosting websites mine Hut is exactly

That a server host with a unique twist instead of players running their own independent servers and giving out the IP for players to connect to on mine Hearts players often find and connect to my heart servers through their Hub that means that mine Hut is basically like a

Big server browser or list of which anybody can make a server which gives players who make servers here significant advantages in advertising and getting their server out there combined with the fact that minehart servers are free at the lowest End come pre-installed with server software such as paper have server templates to

Quickly make whatever you want as well as a very easy to use online panel at least compared to other server hosting mein Hut seems like a really good option for players with less experience or even have no experience in Minecraft over hosting the entire mein Hut network is overwhelmingly successful comprised of

Thousands of player run servers regularly peaking at over 10 000 players online daily often even as high as 15 000 on weekends likely making it the second biggest server in the game behind Hypixel but not everything is sunshine and rainbows one odd thing about mein Hut is the lack of information about the

Specific server Hardware you can rent for your own servers see when you go to actually buy a server the only info you are given is the max players and allocated Ram I looked everywhere and couldn’t find a single thing about it in fact the only mention of it I could find

Was an old Forum post asking the same thing this is an extremely important detail when it comes to running a server and the fact that they seemingly leave it out is quite concerning what we do know is that the best server has 10 gigabytes of RAM costing you 8 800

Credits per month which is their currency and of course you can’t buy that exact amount buying this server will cost you about 50 to 60 per month which isn’t the best deal my own current dedicated server with an SMP and some mini games uses at minimum 100 gigabytes

Of RAM when online meaning in order to run our server off a mein hot setup it would cost us over 500 a month which doesn’t include other things like a database which we have with our dedicated server minehack would cost us almost two to three times the amount we

Are paying likely for significantly worse performance as well as I guarantee you that they don’t have top of the line PC specs like dedicated hosts such as ovh do you can upgrade your server once you have it though and 32 gigabytes of RAM a pro CPU 40 gigabytes of space and

Some extra safe backups will set you back about a hundred dollars a month still quite expensive for what it is if you don’t get the top plan you’ll have some other issues as well for example when paying for their second most expensive plan which is about 15 to 20 a

Month your server isn’t online 24 7 and will shut down after a period of time if nobody is online this is likely to save on resources and I can understand doing this for free servers as other free Minecraft server hosting will do this as well but if you are paying money for the

Server that really shouldn’t happen really shouldn’t happen just like all of you not being subscribed do me a favor and press that subscribe button for me no pressure of course let’s explore some of the minehart servers now and hmm that’s strange the first four survival servers all have the exact same number

Of players online okay let’s join and oh this is Zeda MC a survival server that’s not even run using minehart servers in fact majority of the servers here on the front page aren’t even run on mein Hut we’ll discuss this later but these are what’s known as external servers okay

Then let’s try a smaller server that doesn’t sound familiar why not this one called blizz still looks like the usual life SMP will be all right even so over 40 people are online it seems like there’s very little activity oh what’s this the AFK pool where you can earn rewards interesting

Oh so that’s what all the players are this is something you’ll see often all across meinhardt servers with AFK features or even game modes designed to be played while AFK likely in an attempt to inflate player numbers and appear higher on the mein Hut server browser so they can make more money normally

Servers would just bought their play accounts but since you can’t do that here this is their workaround did I mention that almost every server here is also pay to win from crates to the ability to slash fly my heart servers are no strangers to the allures of cold

Hard cash now I don’t need to go explore these smps further basically all the ones with players are the exact same lifestyle SMP copy and paste one another with the most popular ones being external servers not even run using minehart they use the same plugins have similar spawns their chats and ranks

Look the same it’s just boring stuff so let’s check out something that’s more unique to mine or rather began on my heart and those are box servers the best way to think of box servers are like a big Kit PVP Warzone where you jump down to PVP and can collect some resources as

You get resources you get access to better gear to which you can get more resources to get even more gear and rinse and repeat forever as you can imagine these servers of course have crates and other pay to win features and the classic AFK rooms to ensure they

Keep their play accounts in server ranking higher interestingly I think the reason these servers are so popular on minehart is because they are relatively inexpensive to run since all the online players are either in an AFK room or in a few specific pre-generated areas you

Likely don’t need SVP of a setup as the average SMP with a lot of players would it’s quite interesting to see how the resource limitations imposed by mein Hearts have led to Unique game modes developing even if they are quite grindy and boring I mean who wants to play this

Just go play kid PVP instead why don’t we check out mein Hut’s most popular category then PVP service and oh boy once again it just looks like the the same set of lives to smps that aren’t even hosted on mein Hearts so never mind then let’s look into gen servers instead

Which also seemed to follow meinhardt’s AFK and grind game mode Trends basically gen servers are servers where you get a plot or area of land and have certain item generators such as the bread generator and then storage units which accumulate the items from the generators

Over time you can then sell the items to buy more generators and resources while also being able to level up your skills get kits crate keys and more once again the server was very quiet for the amount of players it had online likely because most players are AFK at their generators

Farming servers are also something unique to minehart and I kid you not the most popular farming server was called skya mogus basically what you do is go along this area of increasingly more valuable resources mind them go back to Spawn trade for better gear to mine

Better resources so on and so forth I am beginning to notice a trend here it’s once again a grind the game mode with crates and keys but you know at least a spawn looked kind of cool so it really seems like these grindy AFK game modes are dominating mine Heights so I’m going

To look for something entirely different and Venture into one of the least popular server categories meme servers I decided to join this small server with only five players online called Golf and upon loading in it actually made me download a custom resource pack it was actually really cool basically you can’t

Move and have to try and throw an enderpill into a golf hole on each course the courses look nice and increased in difficulty over time even containing their own paths and scores it was a really unique idea and was very enjoyable I think it was actually made

By the mein Hut staff team as well I then joined this other small server called the 15 second SMP which looks like a semi-anarchy survival server where every 15 seconds you get a random item in your inventory which was quite creative I was struck with curiosity by another smaller server called drink

Pepsi where you were put into a small Bedrock enclosed area and after collect resources before PVP turns on you have to drink bebsy otherwise you will die and last person standing wins it was very interesting to say the least and really displays how mein hot has enabled players to do unique things besides

What’s just common and trending there was a lot of cooler smaller servers on mine Heights and once you look beyond the big ones you aren’t even hosted there there are a lot of hidden gems and I think that’s where the true beauty of minehart really shines through this is

The big problem though meinhardt’s core idea is cool allowing anybody to run a server of which is very accessible and having the chance to be on the top of their server list seen by tens of thousands of players daily for when most of the top servers are servers not even

Run on meinhardt are paid a win and encourage users to AFK so they play account is inflated it kind of defeats that original purpose what mine hat is being used as is a server advertising service like a voting website but in game I haven’t mentioned it yet but at

The top of every server list is an entire row of ads basically servers who have paid for their positions the servers with more money and resources can pay for ads on mine hearts and therefore get more players and then the more players they have the higher they

Are on mein Hut server list the edgy pay for seem to function similar to the ads on the couple coding website where the more you pay the higher you are and the longer you are on the list it doesn’t seem super expensive but also probably isn’t super cheap especially because

Many of the servers on there are big servers with loads of money who monopolize the best slots ads aren’t entirely bad though obviously mine Hut needs money it’s very expensive to do what they do and the ones you can do in the chat every so often as a donor can

Help smaller servers grow and get their name out there but It ultimately seems like a situation where the rich get richer and the bigger non-mein Hut servers reign supreme this is kind of a shame because the idea behind meinhardt I think is really distinct the reason there are so many unique or interesting

Servers as well as game modes that grew out of minehart is because mine had substantially lowered the barrier of Entry to a Minecraft server giving smaller servers far greater ability to actually get players majority of these servers and game modes would not exist without mine Hearts as running a server

Normally is quite challenging time consuming and expensive so while mine has may be comparatively more expensive compared with traditional dedicated servers what you get is a pre-made server of sorts and that’s what the extra cost is for so no it’s not a scam it’s just a system which is seemingly

Being abused by the bigger server owners who know they have more resources than most regardless meinhardt remains is one of the most interesting Minecraft ecosystems there is with its own pros and cons I hope you all enjoyed be sure to subscribe thank you all so much for watching
