Serverify
A client-side mod for Fabric, Quilt, Forge and NeoForge that adds a fast, native server browser to Minecraft's Multiplayer screen. Search, filter, check live status and join, without leaving the game.
Website and downloads: https://serverify.louchat.site/
Features
- Browser: two columns of server cards with a colored banner, icon, name, version, country, player count and description. Endless scrolling, plus back and forward navigation between pages.
- Categories and search: 25 category checkboxes (Survival, Skyblock, Prison, PvP, Towny, Cobblemon and more), search with a short delay while you type, a sort menu (popular, newest, players, name), and an online-only filter.
- Live status: the server page uses Minecraft's own server ping for real latency, player count, version and the live colored MOTD, and refreshes every 30 to 60 seconds.
- Join or save: connect immediately, or add the server to your Multiplayer list in one click.
- Favorites: a local list stored as JSON in
config/serverify/.
- Sources: Modrinth loads first, then minecraft-list.info, top-mc-servers.net, minecraftservers.org and minecraft-mp.com. Paid or promoted rows are skipped. The same server never appears twice, even when sources list it under different hostnames such as
play. or mc. prefixes.
- Well known servers first: when you pick a category, the best known servers of that category (Hypixel, CubeCraft, Wynncraft, EarthMC and more) come first, with live status.
- Regions: filter the list by region (it starts on the region of your system language) to avoid high ping and languages you do not read.
- Settings: enable or disable each source and set the refresh interval, through Mod Menu.

Install
- Install the mod loader for your Minecraft version: Fabric (Quilt also works), Forge or NeoForge.
- On Fabric or Quilt, also download Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin. Forge and NeoForge need nothing else.
- Download the Serverify jar for your loader and version from the latest release.
- Put the jars in
.minecraft/mods.
- Start the game, open Multiplayer and press the globe button next to Add Server.
Jars are named serverify-<loader>-mc<version>-<release>.jar. Each one covers the range of Minecraft versions in .github/versions.json.
| Loader | Minecraft versions |
|---|
| Fabric and Quilt | 1.16.5, 1.17.1, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.8, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.2, 26.3 |
| Forge | 1.8.9, 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.17.1, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.5 |
| NeoForge | 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.8, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.2, 26.3 |
Java 8 runs 1.8.9 to 1.16.5, Java 16 runs 1.17, Java 17 runs 1.18 to 1.20.4, Java 21 runs 1.20.5 to 1.21.11 and Java 25 runs 26.x. Mod Menu is optional on Fabric. Quilt loads the Fabric jars and has not been tested separately.
Build from source
You need JDK 25 to run Gradle. The build targets the right Java version for each Minecraft version.
./gradlew build
The jar is written to build/libs/. Build another loader or Minecraft version by passing every value of its entry in .github/versions.json as a Gradle property, which is what CI does:
jq -r '.[] | select(.name == "forge-1.20.1") | del(.name, .publish) | to_entries[] | "-P\(.key)=\(.value)"' .github/versions.json \
| xargs ./gradlew build
Fabric builds run the scripted in-game tests that save screenshots. runProductionClientGameTest launches the real remapped jar. Add -Psmoke=true on versions that predate Fabric's client game test API. Forge and NeoForge builds are checked in a development client with runClient -Psmoke_main=true, which opens each screen and saves screenshots.
The Forge builds for 1.8.9 and 1.12.2 come from the separate Gradle project in legacy/, which needs JDK 21 to run Gradle and JDK 8 to compile. Run ./gradlew :1.12.2-forge:build or ./gradlew :1.8.9-forge:build inside legacy/. Add -Psmoke=true to bake in the screen test driver.
Horizon
horizon/serverify is a native mod for Horizon, the Rust rewrite of Minecraft. Horizon's hook points have no screens, so it shows a server browser in your web browser (a page served from your own computer, opened with a key, /serverify web or the mod's settings page) and also works from chat. It lists Modrinth servers that accept offline-mode players, the only ones Horizon can join today.
