Checking the Minecraft server
Own server

Write down the address -- we'll connect to the server as much as the game does, and let's see if it answers, how many people are on it, and what it looks like on the server list.
My game select version
We'll remember in this browser and set up where your version is available. Open link settings are more important than this choice; the Vicki versions do not change.

As in the server listEnter the address on the left and click “Check”. The answer is stored 60 seconds: you can click again as much as you like - we don’t pull the server again.
How to check your server
- Take an external address
The one they give to friends: domain or white IP. Addresses like 192.168…, 10… and localhost work only in your home.
- Select edition
Java - computer version, Bedrock - phones, consoles and Windows version from the store. Their protocols are different, and someone else’s server will not respond.
- Doesn't respond - follow the list
The server is running, the port is open and forwarded, the address is external. If he answered, it means that any player with the Internet can see it.
What you need to know about address and port
- The default port is 25565 for Java and 19132 for Bedrock. You don’t have to write it; any other is written with a colon after the address.
- Java has an SRV record. A domain can point to a server with a different port through an entry _minecraft._tcp - then the port in the address is not needed at all. The client asks it himself, and so do we.
- Description (MOTD) and icon are sent by the server itself. Change them in server.properties and file server-icon.png next to it - there are generators for both in the section.
- The number of players is what the server writes about itself. Proxies and plugins can show anything: the check reports the server's response, and does not count people.
- The answer lives on 60 seconds. Rechecking for this time is stored, so the link to the result can be sent to the chat room and the server will not receive ten consecutive connections.
- We are waiting for an answer 3 seconds. A server that takes longer to think will also cause players to see “Connection...”.
The test does not enter the server as a player: she only asks what is on the server list — and does not leave records in his entry log.
Frequently asked questions
How to check if the Minecraft server is running?
Write the address -- the one you put in the game -- and select Java or Bedrock. The page will connect to the server as well as the client of the game, and show if it answers, how many players are on it, and what version.
Why doesn't the server respond even though it's running?
Most often, the port is closed with a firewall or not left on the router, or friends have been given an address on the local network. The address of the species 192.168... and the localhost outside is not visible: external IP or domain is needed.
What is the default port for the Minecraft server?
Java Edition 25665, Bedrock Edition 19132. You don't have to write the port by default, and Java can have a SRV recording of the domain instead of a port -- her client asks for it.
