Whether following a problem or to implement an update, one day or another you may have problems launching Minecraft and joining a game, on relevant gaming platforms, whether you play online with friends or not. That’s why we tell you how to know if minecraft game servers are under maintenance (down) or if the problem can be with you.
Minecraft maintenance, servers down (unavailable) or online?
Most of the time, Minecraft servers will be offline when an update approaches and a hotfix is applied. In order not to bother the players too much, the developers try to limit them, but sometimes it takes longer than expected (usually they take place at night or in the morning). It may also be that the servers are down without maintenance being in progress, following various problems. If you’re having trouble connecting to the game, here are some tips to track the status of Minecraft game servers.
As with many online games, the developers, namely Mojang Studios, notify the community on social media before an update is rolled out. So you can head over to the game’s Reddit thread to see if any maintenance is underway or has been announced. Besides, you can also check the official game twitter account. Finally, you can also check on the game page, on downdetector.
However, it is possible that the servers are operational, but that you cannot connect to the game or that you have problems during your games. It may be coming from you. Therefore, we recommend some tips to try to remedy it.
