Are you a Minecraft enthusiast wanting to know if your favorite server is online? Or perhaps a server administrator needing a reliable way to monitor your server’s status? mcstatus.io is your go-to online tool for instantly checking the status of any Java Edition or Bedrock Edition Minecraft server. Whether you’re eager to join Hypixel, MCHub, CubeCraft, or any other Minecraft server, our server checker provides you with real-time information about server availability and player count.
Inspired by services like mcsrvstat.us, mcstatus.io was built from the ground up with a focus on speed and dependability. We recognized the need for a faster and more feature-rich server status tool, particularly for developers. Many existing services have unnecessarily long cache times, leading to delays in getting up-to-date server information. At mcstatus.io, we use a very efficient cache duration of just 1 minute, ensuring you receive the most current status updates. This means you’ll know almost instantly if a server is online or experiencing issues.
But we offer more than just speed. mcstatus.io provides a range of features that set us apart. We understand the importance of displaying server information exactly as it appears in the game. That’s why we offer formatting options for the MOTD (Message of the Day), version name, and even sample player names. This level of detail allows you to seamlessly integrate server status information into your website or application, providing your users with a consistent and accurate view.
Beyond basic status checks, for Java Edition servers, we utilize the query protocol to gather even more data. This allows us to provide insights into server plugins and software information, giving you a deeper understanding of the server environment. In addition to status updates, we also offer convenient routes for retrieving server icons and generating status widgets. Embed your server’s icon effortlessly on your website, ensuring it’s always up-to-date, or use our status widget to give users a quick server preview without them needing to launch the game.
For developers looking to integrate server status functionality into their projects, our API is designed for ease of use and high performance. Built using Go, a powerful programming language, and leveraging Redis for rapid data retrieval, our API communicates directly with Minecraft servers using the official networking protocol. Our commitment to transparency and community is reflected in our open-source approach. All our services are open source and available on our GitHub organization.
