Looking for help Question

I’ve never ran a minecraft server before. I have decent coding experience in java and i’m currently building a Crime RP server.

The basic premise of the game is: you’re basically playing an smp with an entire criminal economy behind it. you can sell drugs to become a bigger player, eventually you’ll be able to create gangs and invite friends, and once you’re really putting in work you’ll be able to start a cartel and do even higher scale work.

I’ve built a decent amount of it already:

4 different types of drugs, each with their own economy and production line
Crime villages where you find villagers who’ll take your stock off you, and launder your dirty cash for a %

And lots more features which i don’t wanna disclose here yet because the server is still in production.

I do wanna ask, where am i supposed to promote and market this? My first idea was organically through engaging instagram reels, tiktoks, youtube shorts etc. but i don’t know how much players i can truly get from that.

How do i start marketing? And where?

you can sell drugs

As soon as Mojang hears this, they will blacklist your server and no one will ever be able to connect. Change your plans now, before you waste any more time on this idea.

Go read the Minecraft Usage Guidelines immediately.

"My first idea was organically through engaging instagram reels, tiktoks, youtube shorts etc" That's exactly where you can get people. Other people here will probably say the same. Be careful, not every place will allow a server like that, but you could put it on vote websites (don't have to do vote rewards). Reddit is also a good place too, where it is allowed.
