Check Minecraft server status in real time to get player counts, versions, and ping latency.
When you want to join a Minecraft server but aren't sure if it's online, this tool uses the standard Minecraft server query protocol to check the target server's running status in real time. The server status query (SRV Record) returns key data including online player count, version compatibility, and the MOTD (Message of the Day) welcome message. This information comes directly from the server's response packets.
The server shows as offline, but I can actually join the game?
A firewall might be blocking the status query port (25565). We recommend checking the server configuration.
What is the § symbol in the MOTD message?
This is the Minecraft color code prefix. The letter following each § represents a different text color and format.
Avoid repeatedly querying the same IP in a short period, as this may trigger the server's protection mechanisms. Bedrock edition servers require port 19132 for queries, and the player count in the results may not include invisible players.
For redirected servers using SRV records, it is recommended to query the final target IP directly. Typical query example: entering "mc.example.com" returns version 1.19.4, online players 24/50, and latency 87ms. If the query fails, try disabling the IPv6 network protocol and try again.
