Step-by-Step Guide: Deleting Minecraft Servers

5th Jan, 2022

Minecraft, the popular sandbox game, allows players to connect and explore various servers, creating unique multiplayer experiences. While joining new servers can be exciting, there may come a time when you want to delete certain servers from your Minecraft server list. Whether you want to declutter your server list or remove servers you no longer play on, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of deleting Minecraft servers.

Step 1: Launch Minecraft:

Open the Minecraft application on your device. This guide covers the steps for the Java Edition of Minecraft, but the process is similar for other editions.

Step 2: Access the Multiplayer Menu:

From the Minecraft main menu, select the "Multiplayer" option. This will take you to the multiplayer menu, where you can manage your list of servers.

Step 3: Select the Server to Delete:

In the multiplayer menu, locate the server you want to delete from your server list. Use the arrow keys or the mouse to navigate through the list until you find the server you wish to remove.

Step 4: Edit Server Options:

Right-click (or press the "Edit" button) on the server you want to delete. This will open the server options menu, allowing you to modify various settings for that server.

Step 5: Delete the Server:

Within the server options menu, look for the "Delete" or "Remove" button. Click on this button to delete the server from your Minecraft server list. You may be prompted to confirm the deletion.

Step 6: Confirm Deletion:

If prompted, confirm that you want to delete the selected server. Read the confirmation message carefully to ensure you are deleting the correct server.

Step 7: Repeat the Process:

Repeat steps 3 to 6 for any additional servers you want to delete from your Minecraft server list. Remove as many servers as you desire to streamline your server list.

Step 8: Save Changes:

After deleting the desired servers, make sure to save your changes. Look for a "Save" or "Done" button within the server options menu. Click on this button to save the modifications and exit the menu.

Step 9: Refresh the Server List:

To ensure the deleted servers no longer appear in your server list, refresh the server list. This can typically be done by exiting and re-entering the multiplayer menu or by clicking on a "Refresh" or "Update" button within the menu.

Step 10: Enjoy a Clean Server List:

Congratulations! You have successfully deleted Minecraft servers from your server list. Enjoy a clean and organized list of servers tailored to your preferences.

Note: Deleting a server from your Minecraft server list only removes it from your local server list. It does not affect the server itself or remove it from the internet. Other players can still access and join the server unless they delete it from their own server lists.
