Server Status & Ping
Our tool sends a real-time Server List Ping packet directly to the target Minecraft IP or domain address. It retrieves instant server information including online player count, software core, protocol version, server icon, and MOTD banner without requiring you to launch Minecraft.
This typically occurs if port forwarding is disabled on your host firewall, if enable-query is turned off in server.properties, or if DNS records (A / SRV) have not fully propagated across global resolvers.
Ports & SRV Records
No! If your server uses the standard Java port (25565), simply enter your domain or IP. If your server uses a non-standard port or SRV record, you can enter play.yourdomain.com or ip:port.
The MOTD (Message of the Day) is parsed directly from your server's server.properties or plugin configuration (e.g., MiniMessage, BungeeGuard, or Hex color formatting) and rendered in pixel-perfect Minecraft style.
