Servers in the launcher, with live player counts

The launcher now has a Servers tab. It shows how many people are online, your latency from home and each server's message of the day — queried straight from the server, the same way the in-game multiplayer list does it.

Smok (smok.gg) sits at the top because it's our official server. You'll also find Hypixel, UniversoCraft, Minemen Club, PvP Land, MineLatino, Mineberry, BlocksMC and LibreCraft, all 1.8-compatible.

Hit "Join" and the game opens straight into that server. You can add your own too.
