Creating a server is easy. Building a community is hard. In this guide, we break down the social dynamics of successful Minecraft servers, from moderation bots to event planning. Learn how to keep your players engaged and happy.

1. Clear Rules: Ambiguity breeds conflict.
2. Active Staff: Presence matters more than punishment.
3. Regular Events: Give players a reason to log in at the same time.
