What should I do if Minecraft is down for me?

Restart the game client and launcher completely. Check your connection type — NAT and firewall settings often block game servers. Verify or repair the game files through the launcher. Confirm the servers for your region aren't in scheduled maintenance.

Over the last 7 days, Minecraft has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~116 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-10-22 18:48 UTC and lasted 15m (severity: degraded).

Minecraft depends on Mojang and Microsoft services for authentication, skins, and Realms. Single-player and self-hosted servers keep working during an outage, so the symptom is being unable to log in or join Realms rather than the game failing to launch.

Is Minecraft down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Minecraft normally right now, and it answered our last one in 80ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.
