How to check if a Minecraft server is online
Type the domain or IP address into the “Server address” field. Add a port only if the server doesn't use the default one.
Choose Java, Bedrock or both. For Java without a port, the tool looks up the _minecraft._tcp SRV record by itself.
If the server answers Query on a port other than the game port, enter it under “Advanced options”. Only Query reveals every player name and the plugins.
Click “Check”. You see whether the server is online, the player count, version, MOTD, latency and network details, and the log lists each step.
Copy a link to the check with “Link”, the result with “Copy summary” or “JSON”, and run the check again with “Refresh”.
About this tool
This Minecraft server status checker tells you whether a server is online and shows what the game sees in its server list.
Enter a Java or Bedrock server address (domain, IP and port) and within seconds you see the server status: online or offline, players online and slots, version, MOTD, icon and latency. If the server allows Query, you also get player names and plugins.
The tool resolves the _minecraft._tcp SRV record by itself, handles IPv4 and IPv6 and shows the network behind the address (PTR, ASN, prefix). Use it when players can't connect and you want to know quickly whether the problem is the server or on their side.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions people ask most about this tool.
How do I check if a Minecraft server is online?
Enter the server address in the field above. The tool pings the server the same way the in-game server list does and shows whether it responds, how many players are online and which version it runs.
Does it work for Bedrock servers?
Yes. Java servers are queried with Server List Ping (default port 25565 TCP), Bedrock with RakNet (default port 19132 UDP). You can enter a custom port too.
Why can't I see player names or plugins?
A server only reveals names and plugins through Query (enable-query=true in server.properties). Without Query you see the player count and any player sample the server chooses to send.
Why does the tool show the server as offline?
The server didn't answer from the internet: it isn't running, the address or port is wrong, a firewall blocks the port or port forwarding is missing on the router. The log shows at which step the check stopped. If players can still join, the server probably blocks data centres.
The server won't load in-game but the tool sees it. What now?
Then the server is running and reachable from the internet. Check that the player uses the same address and port, runs the same game version (or the server has ViaVersion) and isn't blocked by a whitelist or ban.
