Want the status of a Bedrock server? Minecraft Pinger will work this out automatically.

Note: If you host both a Bedrock and Java server using the same domain, you will need to provide a port

Here are some example servers to get you started:

Enter a server IP, IPv6 address, or domain to ping Minecraft before you join. This free online Minecraft server pinger runs a Minecraft ping test that measures the round trip to the server in milliseconds and reports it alongside the online status, player count, version, and message of the day, for both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. Under 100 ms feels instant; past about 300 ms you will notice it as block lag. It doubles as a Minecraft server tester when you want to confirm your own server is reachable before opening it to players.

Minecraft Server Status Checker

Enter a server address to check Minecraft server status in seconds. The result tells you whether the server is online, how many players are on it right now, which version it runs, its message of the day, and the latency of the connection.

MC server status is shorthand for the same thing. A Minecraft server check is the quickest way to separate a server-side outage from a problem at your end: if the server comes back online here but you still cannot join, the fault is usually local - a whitelist, a version mismatch, or a firewall between you and the server.

About

MinecraftPinger.com is a free Minecraft server status checker for players, server owners, and developers. Enter any server IP or domain and it returns real-time data: whether the server is up, how many players are on, the MOTD, the supported version, the edition, and the ping latency. Players use it to see whether a server is worth joining; admins use it as a Minecraft server tester to monitor uptime and confirm a box is reachable after a restart. It also supports IPv6 addresses, both IPv6-only and dual-stack, which most alternatives still do not.
