5 best Minecraft servers for raiding

Minecraft servers come in all shapes and sizes. No two Minecraft servers are exactly alike, but many can be categorized into specific genres of gameplay.

One of the most popular types of Minecraft servers enjoyed by players are those that offer raiding aspects. Players can build massive bases on these raiding servers, which they will need to protect with different base protection systems.

Raiding is typically carried out in teams or "factions" using items like TNT cannons to break into the base.

2) Viper MC

IP Address: play.vipermc.net

Viper MC is currently one of the most popular Minecraft PvP servers, with several different PvP focused gamemodes being offered.

One of the most popular gamemodes on Viper MC is HCF (Hardcore Factions). In this gamemode, there is a heavy focus on raiding and raiding mechanics. There is no TNT raiding mechanics on this server, and instead, players can go "raidable" when they have lost enough faction power through dying too much.

As previously mentioned, there is a heavy PvP focus on this server and little on typical TNT raiding mechanics. For anyone adept in Minecraft PvP, however, Viper MC is a brilliant choice.

3) The Archon

IP Address: archonhq.net

The Archon is perhaps the most popular Minecraft factions server to exist, with thousands of gamers logging in every day. In terms of gameplay, the server is heavily focused on raiding with TNT mechanics.

This server has been around for over 7 years. It is a titan in the Minecraft multiplayer scene, featuring appearances from some of the most well-known Minecraft YouTubers over the years.

If there's one thing the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft is known for, it's griefing, raiding, and overall pillaging.

As many Minecrafters will be well aware, there are absolutely no rules on 2b2t, and anything goes. Therefore, this means that raiding is completely permitted, and players can even use hacked clients to assist them in their raiding activities.

Fair warning, however, this server is more geared towards long-time Minecrafters, is entirely unmoderated, and will definitely not appeal to all players, especially beginners!
