Our own dataTracked servers answering
This is in line with the past week. Server status pings do not go through Mojang, so servers can answer while sign-in is down.

What each service doesWhat breaks when a service is down
- Multiplayer sign-in (session server)
- Java servers in online mode ask it to confirm each player's account when they join.
- When it is down: Joining online-mode Java servers fails with errors like "Authentication servers are down" or "Failed to verify username".
- Mojang profile API
- Turns player names into account UUIDs.
- When it is down: Name lookups, whitelist commands for new players and some server plugins fail.
- Minecraft services API
- Serves game profiles, skin and name changes, and the keys servers use to check signed chat.
- When it is down: Skin and name changes fail, and servers that check chat signatures can reject messages.
- Skins and capes
- Hosts the skin and cape images the game downloads for every player.
- When it is down: Players show up with the default Steve or Alex skin.
- Launcher version manifest
- Tells the launcher which game versions exist and where to download them.
- When it is down: The launcher cannot install or update versions.
- Realms
- Runs Realms, Mojang's paid hosted worlds.
- When it is down: Realms worlds do not load or show as unavailable.
- Microsoft account sign-in
- Signs you in to the launcher with your Microsoft account.
- When it is down: The launcher cannot sign you in, so you cannot play online.
Bedrock Edition signs in through the Xbox network, which this page does not check.
Can't connect?What to try
- If a service above is not responding, wait. Mojang outages usually clear on their own.
- If everything here is up, restart the launcher, sign out of your Microsoft account and sign back in.
- Try a different server. If only one server fails, the problem is that server.
- Try another network, such as a phone hotspot, to rule out your router, DNS or VPN.
- Seeing "Authentication servers are down"? Read what the authentication servers error means.
- Check one server address with the Minecraft server status checker.
Good to knowMinecraft outage FAQ
Is Minecraft down right now?
At 11 Nov 2026, 13:23 UTC, ServerBuddy's check said: No Minecraft service answered our checks. The checks run from one server, so a problem with your own connection, account or region can still stop you from playing.
Why does Minecraft say authentication servers are down?
Java servers in online mode ask Mojang's session server to confirm your account when you join. If that check fails, you get this error even though the server itself is online. If the session server shows as up here, sign out of the launcher and back in, then try again. ServerBuddy's guide on the authentication servers error covers the rest.
Can Minecraft be down for me but not for other players?
Yes. Your network, router, DNS provider, VPN or antivirus can block Mojang or Microsoft services while they work for everyone else. Try another network, such as a phone hotspot, to tell the two apart.
How do I check if a server like Hypixel is down?
Open the server's ServerBuddy profile or enter its address in the server status checker. The biggest tracked servers, such as Hypixel, are listed on this page with their latest check.
If a server shows online, can I join it?
Not always. Online means the server answered a status ping, the same one the multiplayer menu uses. That ping does not go through Mojang, so a server can show online while sign-in is down and joins fail.
How often is this page updated?
The service checks run at most once a minute, when someone opens the page. Tracked servers are checked every few minutes, busy ones more often.
