Is Minecraft down?
A live check of the services the game depends on: login, sessions, skins, profiles and Realms. Measured from our server, not from a status page.
3 of 9 Minecraft services have trouble.
| Service | Used for | Edition | State | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| minecraft.net | Downloads, the profile page, redeeming codes | Both | Up | Answered HTTP 200 in 351 ms. |
| Microsoft login | Signing in to the launcher and the game | Both | Up | Answered HTTP 200 in 711 ms. |
| Xbox Live authentication | The step after Microsoft login, for Java and Bedrock | Both | Up | Answered HTTP 405 in 401 ms. |
| Minecraft Services API | Profile, name changes, skin uploads, the launcher's login | Java | Trouble | Answered HTTP 403, which is not the answer a working service gives. |
| Session server | Joining online-mode servers, and every skin lookup | Java | Trouble | Answered HTTP 403, which is not the answer a working service gives. |
| Mojang API | Username to UUID lookups | Java | Trouble | Answered HTTP 403, which is not the answer a working service gives. |
| Skin and cape CDN | Serving skin and cape textures to the game | Java | Up | Answered HTTP 404 in 688 ms. |
| Realms (Java) | Joining and managing Java Realms | Java | Up | Answered HTTP 401 in 608 ms. |
| Realms (Bedrock) | Joining and managing Bedrock Realms | Bedrock | Up | Answered HTTP 401 in 633 ms. |
How it works
- Our server asks each Mojang and Microsoft service one question and reads the answer.
- Green answered as it does when it works. Amber answered slowly or with an error. Red did not answer.
- The check repeats every minute while the page is open.
- One server, not the whole game? The server status checker pings any Java server by address.
This measures from our server. A service can be up here and unreachable from your network, or the other way round.
Questions
- Is Minecraft down right now?
- The table above is the answer, checked live from our server within the last minute. Green means the service answered the way it does when it works. If every row is green and you still cannot play, the problem is closer to you: your connection, your launcher, or the one server you are trying to join.
- Are Realms down?
- The two Realms rows are the Realms APIs for Java and for Bedrock. When one is red or amber, Realms on that edition is having trouble for everyone, and waiting is the only fix. When both are green and your Realm still fails, restart the game, and check whether the Realm's owner has it closed or on a newer version.
- I cannot log in. Which row matters?
- Microsoft login and Xbox Live authentication. Every account signs in through both, on Java and on Bedrock. The Minecraft Services API row is the step after that for Java.
- Everyone on my server is Steve. Which row matters?
- The session server and the skin CDN. The session server tells a server who you are and which skin you wear; the CDN serves the picture. When either is down, servers show default skins until it returns.
- Where is the official status page?
- Mojang retired its status endpoint in 2021 and has no public status page. Outages are announced on the Minecraft account on X and, for the Xbox side, on the Xbox status page. This page checks the services directly instead.
- How is this measured?
- Our server sends one request to each service and reads the HTTP answer. What counts as working is per service: a profile lookup must return the profile; the Realms API must ask for a login (a 401), which is what it does when it is up. Slow answers and 5xx errors show as amber.
