What Is mcsrvstat.us?

Updated

mcsrvstat.us is a free web-based Minecraft server status checker. You enter a server address, and it reports whether that server is online along with related connection details. It works with Minecraft Java (1.7+) and Minecraft Bedrock servers, plus any server that has enable-query=true set. You don't need an account or any software — just a browser and the server address.

What you can check

The site's purpose is stated plainly: "Get information about Minecraft servers quickly." In practice, that means:

  • Online/offline status — whether the server is currently reachable
  • Server details — the kind of information a client receives when pinging a server (version, MOTD, player counts, and similar connection data)

It supports three categories of target:

Target type Notes
Minecraft Java (1.7+) Standard Java Edition servers
Minecraft Bedrock Bedrock Edition servers
Servers with enable-query=true Query-enabled servers

How to use it

  1. Open mcsrvstat.us in a browser.
  2. Enter the server address in the "Server address" field.
  3. Select the "Get server status" button.
  4. If the server is Bedrock, use the "Bedrock server?" option so the correct protocol is used.

The expected result is a status report for that address. If you don't have a server handy, the page offers test addresses you can try, such as:

  • Java: play.mineluxmc.com, mc.mineberry.org, mc.manacube.net, extremecraft.net
  • Bedrock: performium.net, play.histeria.fr, geo.hivebedrock.network, play.nethergames.org, play.venitymc.com, play.inpvp.net

Common reasons a check fails

  • Wrong edition selected — a Bedrock server checked as Java (or vice versa) won't respond correctly. Use the Bedrock option when appropriate.
  • Server doesn't allow query — some servers don't expose status data, so the check may fail even if the server is running.
  • Address typos — the address must match exactly what players connect to.

Other things on the site

  • API — a programmatic endpoint is available if you want to pull server status into your own tools.
  • FAQ — answers to common questions about how the checker works.
  • System status — shows whether the service itself is operational.
  • Theme toggle — Light, Dark, or Auto display modes.

The site is ad-free, and the operator asks for donations to keep it running. There's no indication of paid tiers or login requirements — it's presented as a straightforward, no-frills lookup tool.
