The largest server is widely accepted to be the minigame server Hypixel, and previously, Mineplex. Minecraft multiplayer servers are controlled by server operators, who have access to server commands such as setting the time of day, teleporting players, setting the world spawn, and changing players' gamemode.

Player versus player (PvP) combat can be enabled to allow fighting between players.…
