Minecraft Server Status Checker (Java)
Type a Java server's address to see if it's online, how many players are on, its version, its MOTD and its icon. Copy a live badge to show your server's status on your website or Discord.
Runs on your device · nothing uploaded
This tool is code that runs inside your browser. Your files, text and pictures are read here and never sent to a server, so it even works offline once loaded. Signed in? Only what you save to your account (My Kit, wardrobe) or publish is uploaded.

How to use it
- Type the server address you use in Minecraft (for example play.example.com).
- Change the port only if your server doesn't use 25565.
- Press Check status to see players, version and MOTD as the server list shows them.
- Copy the badge code to embed a live status image on your site.
How it works
The checker asks the server for its status exactly like the Minecraft multiplayer screen does (the Server List Ping). It follows SRV records, so addresses without a port work too. Results are cached for one minute so busy servers aren't spammed.
Questions
Why does it say offline when the server works for me?
The server may block status requests, use a different port, or only allow certain networks. Check the address and port you use in game.
Does it work for Bedrock servers?
No. Bedrock servers answer status requests over UDP, which our cloud checker can't send, so it supports Java Edition servers only. Some large Java networks also block cloud services; the checker tells you when that happens.
