The cards below read the official status feeds for Fortnite / Epic Games services, Roblox and Discord - the same data behind their own status pages - and the lookup box checks any Minecraft Java or Bedrock server by address. No app, no account; it all loads in your browser.
Game Server Status Checker - Is It Down?
When a game will not connect, the first question is whether the problem is on your side at all. The cards at the top of this page read each platform's own public status API - Fortnite / Epic Games services, Roblox and Discord - and show the platform's current indicator with its own status description, word for word. If a card reports a partial issue or an outage, nothing you restart at home will fix it; the official status page linked on each card carries the incident timeline and the all-clear.
Check a Minecraft server by address
The lookup box checks any Minecraft server - type the address (host, or host:port), pick Java or Bedrock Edition, and press Check server. An online server shows how many players are on, the version it runs, and the first line of its message of the day. An offline or unreachable server gets a clear card echoing the address you typed, so a typo is easy to spot. One honest note: a web page cannot ping a game port itself, so the check is performed by the mcstatus.io service - the address you type goes to mcstatus.io, never to this site's servers, and this page does not store it. Because mcstatus.io caches lookups for about a minute, a server that just restarted can briefly still show as offline.
What the status levels mean - and what to do
The table under the tool translates the four indicator levels into plain words: operational means the platform reports no known problem, partial issue means a service such as logins or voice may fail while gameplay works, and the two outage levels mean waiting is the only fix. Below it, a short numbered checklist walks through what to try when a game will not connect: check the platform card first, remember that statuses often flip to maintenance around patch days, then restart the client and router only if the platform itself shows operational. An example Minecraft lookup runs when the page loads, clearly labeled as an example, so you can see the result shape before typing anything.
What this page can and cannot tell you
This page shows platform-level status only - it cannot diagnose a single account, match, queue or region, and it keeps no uptime history; it is a point-in-time check. Player counts appear only for Minecraft lookups, because Fortnite, Roblox and Discord do not expose per-server player numbers. If you are on a school or office network that blocks gaming domains, the cards will say so plainly instead of going blank - the official status pages linked on each card may still open. This page is not affiliated with Epic Games, Roblox, Discord or Mojang.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the status data come from?
The three platform cards read each platform's own public status API - the same feed behind the official status pages of Fortnite / Epic Games services, Roblox and Discord - and show the platform's indicator and description word for word, with a link to the official page on every card.
Does the Minecraft address I type stay in my browser?
No, and the page says so plainly: a web page cannot ping a game port itself, so the check is performed by the mcstatus.io service. The address you type goes to mcstatus.io, whose servers ping the game server for you - it never goes to this site's servers, and this page does not store it.
My Minecraft server shows offline right after a restart - why?
mcstatus.io caches lookups for about a minute, so a server that just restarted can briefly still show as offline. Double-check the exact address and port with the server owner - a typo also shows as offline - then check again after a minute.
Can this page tell me why my account or match is failing?
No. It shows platform-level status only - it cannot diagnose a single account, match, queue or region, and it keeps no uptime history. If the platform card shows operational, work through the checklist under the tool: restart the game client, then the router, and confirm your client is on the latest version.
Why do the cards say they could not reach the status API?
Some school and office firewalls block gaming domains as a category. When that happens each card shows a clear could-not-reach note instead of a blank panel, and the official status page linked on the card may still open in a new tab.
