0.**Take note of the fact that modded servers are not allowed on this list.** Such servers confuse users, and there's currently no easy way to fix mod incompatibilities after a failed connection.
2. Make sure that your server is able to handle inappropriate content - this includes NSFW display/sorter art and abusive messages. **Servers that allow such content will be removed immediately.** Consider banning display blocks if it is a problem for your server: `rules add bannedBlocks ["logic-display", "large-logic-display"]`.
3.**Set an appropriate MOTD, name and description.** This is set with `config <name/desc/motd> <value>`. "Appropriate" means that:
- Your name or description must reflect the type of server you're hosting.
Since new players may be exposed to the server list early on, put in a phrase like "Co-op survival" or "PvP" so players know what they're getting into. Yes, this is also displayed in the server mode info text, but having extra info in the name doesn't hurt.
- Make sure players know where to refer to for server support. It should be fairly clear that the server owner is not me, but you.
- Try to be professional in your text; use common sense.
4.**Get some good maps.***(optional, but highly recommended)*. Add some maps to your server and set the map rotation to custom-only. You can get maps from the Steam workshop by subscribing and exporting them; using the `#maps` channel on Discord is also an option.
5.**Check your server configuration.***(optional)* I would recommend adding a message rate limit of 1 second (`config messageRateLimit 1`), and disabling connect/disconnect messages to reduce spam (`config showConnectMessages false`).
6. Finally, **submit a pull request** to add your server's IP to the list.
This should be fairly straightforward: Press the edit button on the [server file](https://github.com/Anuken/Mindustry/blob/master/servers_v6.json), then add a JSON object with a single key, indicating your server address.
For example, if your server address is `google.com`, you would add a comma after the last entry and insert:
```json
{
"address": "google.com"
}
```
Then, press the *'submit pull request'* button and I'll take a look at your server. If I have any issues with it, I'll let you know in the PR comments.
