''Minecraft'' multiplayer servers have developed to include their own rules and customs, guided by their [[admin]]istrators and moderators. The term [[Tutorials/Griefing|griefer]], meaning a player who causes grief, is a typical term on the internet but has taken up its definition on ''Minecraft'' servers: a person who destroys or defiles other users' creations on servers. 

Griefers are the reason many server administrators make rules, but this has been taken a step further with modifications to the ''Minecraft'' server and even plugin-based replacement servers such as [[mcservers:Bukkit|Bukkit]]. Because of these plugin-based servers, new user-created features have shown up in ''Minecraft''. This includes features like money, vehicles, protection, RPG elements and more. These features normally do not require modification to a user's client and can be accessed by using chat commands. With the default controls, the chat screen is brought up by pressing {{key|T}}.

One popular game on multiplayer servers is [[Spleef]] (a play on the word "grief"), a game where the player aims to make another player drop through the floor by destroying blocks beneath the opponent's feet. This is typically played in a designated area and is usually run automatically using server plugins.

Many popular multiplayer servers exist that may contain, PvP arenas, custom [[minigames]] or large [[Survival]] or [[Creative]] worlds.
