How do I check if a Minecraft server is online?

Enter the server IP address (and optional port) into the checker above and click Check Status. The tool will attempt to connect to the server and return the online status, player count, MOTD, and version within seconds.

Why does my Minecraft server show as offline?

A server may show offline if it is actually down, blocking our checker, using a non-standard port without specifying it, or experiencing connectivity issues. Try pinging from multiple locations to confirm.

What information does the status checker show?

The checker shows: online/offline status, current player count vs max capacity, server MOTD (message of the day), Minecraft version, server icon, and response latency.

Can I check Bedrock edition servers?

This tool primarily checks Java Edition servers. Bedrock servers use a different protocol (UDP/Raknet) on port 19132 by default. Try entering the Bedrock IP with port 19132.

Why Is My Server Showing Offline?

If your server shows as offline, check these common issues:

Verify the IP address or domain is correct
Check if the server is actually running
Ensure the firewall allows connections on port 25565
