Server List Remake #132

Platform Website

Describe the feature Currently, the online server list is basically the ingame server list slapped onto a website. I think it would be beneficial to make it more of a centerpiece and a bigger part of mine hut, as well as making it look nicer as well.

Heres some improvement ideas for the server list:

Search Bar

A proper search bar will help people easily find servers using server tags, categories, and descriptions.

Server Tags

Server tags are not the same as server categories, as these are more like forum tags. You're able to add up to 5 tags to describe your server. For example, a Skymining PvP server could use PvP, Mining, OP, Good staff, and Active discord. This is an example.

This will help people fine-tune their search results to find their perfect server.

Server Categories

Server categories would cover basically all the types of servers there are. This feature would be assessable ingame through a GUI, as well as through the search bar on the online search. Tags you can assign to them like RPG, creative, sky mining, prison, etc. And say for example you want to find an RPG server. Just open a GUI maybe above/below the server menu called Server Categories. You would click RPG and it would bring up any server with the category "RPG". Credit to https://github.com/YouStoleMyHacks for helping improve this suggestion.

Server descriptions (add a button next to the server as there is plenty of extra space that allows you to write a bit about your server)

Basically, a place to learn more about the servers, and what is it. For example, you could look put the "RPG" tag and get more information about the servers that have that tag to find your exact server. Also, this would help search results a ton.

Server picture

Just a small picture that you can upload that exemplifies your server and what its about.

I also think that it may be worth adding a gray button next to "sign up" that says "View our server list" and another under "Hot Servers"

Don't judge this feature based on what it does and doesn't have, we can always fine-tune it in the comments.

How the feature is useful Showcases talent on minehut servers and makes a page lots of people use to look and feel nicer.

Fix formatting issues (look at aussiegens)

Can you provide more info on this please?

The &k symbol seems to break formatting and make text illegible, here's a gif of what I mean: https://giphy.com/gifs/LRZ6m4r8trQ928i3W3

I'm somewhat surprised this isn't already a thing. But I do understand it. Maybe if this comes, maybe the number of servers under a Tag can be tracked and Read on command through the MH Discord bot?
