Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check if a Minecraft server is online?

Enter the Minecraft server IP address or hostname and port into the checker above, then click Submit. MCServerTime will attempt to contact the server and report its status.

Why is my Minecraft server showing offline?

A server may appear offline because it is stopped, restarting, under maintenance, or temporarily unreachable. An incorrect IP address, port, firewall configuration or network issue can also prevent a successful status check.

What is the default Minecraft server port?

The default Minecraft Java Edition server port is 25565. If your server uses a custom port, enter that port instead. Minecraft Bedrock Edition commonly uses UDP port 19132 and may require a separate compatible checker.

Why can't I connect when my Minecraft server is online?

A server can respond to a status check but still reject a player connection. Check that your Minecraft version is compatible, the server address is correct, and any whitelist or authentication requirements are satisfied.

Can I check a Minecraft server using its IP address?

Yes. Enter the server IP address or hostname in the Server IP address field. Enter the correct port, then click Submit to check whether the server responds.

Minecraft Server Connection Troubleshooting

• Check the IP address: Confirm you entered the correct server hostname or IP address.
• Verify the port: Use 25565 for Java Edition unless the server owner provides another port.
• Check the server version: Make sure your Minecraft client supports the server version.
• Check server availability: The server may be restarting, under maintenance or temporarily unreachable.
• Contact the server owner: If the server remains unavailable, check its official website or community announcements.
