MINECRAFT SERVER STATUS CHECKER
Ping any Minecraft Java or Bedrock server IP address instantly. Check server online status, view real-time player counts, software versions, and server logos.
WHY CHECK MINECRAFT SERVER STATUS?
Pinging your server online can reveal network configurations, system specifications, and connectivity metrics.
Track Player Activity
View real-time numbers of active users on Java or Bedrock platforms. Understand peak playing times to coordinate group events or server maintanances.
Verify Connection Ports
Identify if the standard port (25565 for Java, 19132 for Bedrock) is accessible. Correct port configurations permit seamless connections for incoming players.
Confirm Logo and MOTD
Check if your customized server-icon and dynamic MOTD show up correctly. First impressions are vital for recruiting new server players.
Check Version Matching
Verify the software platform (Spigot, Paper, Forge) and Minecraft game version number to prevent incompatibilities and crash loops for joining players.
FAQ AND KNOWN GOTCHAS
More questions and guidelines on checking Minecraft server statuses and metrics.
Our tool queries the official Minecraft Server Query/Ping API. When you submit a server IP, the tool sends a handshaking ping packet to the server's port. The server responds with its player counts, version, MOTD (Message of the Day), and base64-encoded icon, which we display in a structured dashboard.
Yes! Simply switch the 'Server Type' toggle from Java to Bedrock before typing the IP address. The system will query the Bedrock server query protocol (UDP/Query) to display online players, Max Players, and software specifications.
This typically occurs for three reasons: (1) Your firewall or hosting provider is blocking query/ping traffic. (2) The query port (enable-query in server.properties) is disabled. (3) The server uses a custom port that you didn't include in the search input (e.g. you should search my-server.com:25568 instead of just my-server.com).
For security, many servers disable queries that list plugins. To show them, go to your server's server.properties file, set enable-query=true, and restart. Your server software (such as Spigot, Paper, or Forge) will then share the active list.
