Minecraft server status checker

Type a server's address to see whether it answers from the internet, as the multiplayer list would: online or not, its version, how many players are on and how fast it answered. Free, with no account.

What the check does

MineOps connects once to the address, from its own server, and sends only what a Minecraft client sends before joining: Java's status request or Bedrock's ping. For a Java address without a port it follows the server's SRV record, as the game does. Addresses on private networks and ports used by other kinds of services aren't checked, and each visitor gets a few checks a minute.

If friends can't join

A server that shows as online here is reachable from the internet. If it shows no answer but works at home, the port is usually closed on the router. Here's how to fix it.

Keep watching it

A check tells you about right now. If the server runs on your own Linux or Mac machine, MineOps watches it all the time: a live status message in Discord, alerts for crashes, lag and full disks, and backups. Two servers are free. Show status in Discord or start free.
