About
Building the fastest,
most transparent scanner
slowstack automatically discovers and indexes Minecraft servers across the internet — no manual submissions, no bias.
Mission
Our Mission
We believe finding Minecraft servers shouldn't be difficult. While traditional server lists rely on manual submissions, we discover servers automatically by scanning the internet for active Minecraft ports. This gives you a complete, unbiased view of the Minecraft server landscape — including servers that never submitted themselves to traditional lists.
Our goal is simple: provide fast, accurate, and ethical server discovery while respecting server owners and player privacy.
Highlights
What Sets Us Apart
Values
Our Values
Transparency First
We show you exactly what we collect and how it works. No hidden data collection, no surprises.
Public Data Only
We only scan publicly accessible server information. Private servers and player communications remain private.
Server Owner Rights
Server owners can opt out of scanning at any time. We respect the right to be forgotten.
Process
How We Work
Discovery
Our scanners continuously probe known IP ranges and respond to network announcements to discover new Minecraft servers.
Status Queries
Active servers are re-queried frequently to maintain accurate player counts, version info, and online status.
Data Processing
Server responses are parsed, indexed, and made searchable within minutes of being scanned.
Background
Why We Built This
Traditional Minecraft server lists have limitations. They rely on server owners to manually submit their servers, which means many active, quality servers never get discovered. Meanwhile, outdated servers that submitted years ago remain on the list indefinitely.
We wanted to solve this with automation. By scanning the internet for active Minecraft servers, we can provide a complete, real time picture of what's actually out there. No submission forms. No manual curation. Just accurate data.
We also wanted to do this ethically. Server scanning is often misunderstood, so we built our system with transparency and respect for server owners at its core. Every server we scan is clearly documented, and owners can opt out at any time.
