Minecraft server status checker

Check whether a Minecraft server is up, who is on it and what version it runs. Java and Bedrock.

The lookup only uses the server’s public address. It never asks for credentials, signs in, or takes a player slot.

ServerSync runs the server for you, on a PC you already own.

Common questions

How does the check work?
It asks the server the same question the Minecraft client asks before you join: the server list ping. Java servers answer over TCP, Bedrock servers over UDP, and both reply with the details a server chooses to advertise.
Does this take up a player slot?
No. The ping is not a login. Nothing joins the world, nothing appears in the player list, and the server does not need a slot free to answer.
Why does my server say offline when I can join it?
Usually the address. A server reachable on your own network is not reachable from the internet unless the port is open, and a great many home connections cannot open one at all. Check that you are using the public address rather than a local IP.
What is an SRV record?
It lets a server run on a custom port while players type a plain address. If one exists for a Java server this tool follows it, and shows you what it pointed at.
