🌐 Minecraft Server Status Checker – Real-Time Online/Offline & MOTD Lookup

The Minecraft Server Status Checker is a sleek, powerful, and feature-rich web tool built for server owners, administrators, community moderators, and curious players. Whether you’re running a large public server or a small private realm, this tool offers instant insights into your Minecraft server’s current status — with full support for Java Edition and Bedrock Edition servers.

Designed to be fast, responsive, and visually polished, this tool lets you check if a Minecraft server is online, view player counts, server version, latency (ping), server icon, edition type, and even the full MOTD (Message of the Day) with proper formatting and color rendering. All in one click — no setup, no config files, no hassle.

💡 What This Tool Does

The Minecraft Server Status Checker queries your server in real-time using the trusted MCSrvStat.us API, and instantly provides:

  • ✅ Server Online/Offline status
  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Player count (online/max)
  • 🧭 Server version
  • ⚡ Ping (response time in ms)
  • 🧱 Edition (Java or Bedrock)
  • 🖼️ Server icon (favicon)
  • ✏️ Full MOTD (with live formatting & color rendering)
  • 📋 One-click MOTD copy to clipboard

Just enter your server’s domain or IP address, choose the edition, and click Check Status. Within seconds, you’ll get a full breakdown of the server’s current state.

⚙️ Key Features

🔎 Real-Time Server Ping & Status

The tool immediately lets you know:

  • Is the server online or offline?
  • How many players are online?
  • What’s the version (e.g., 1.20.1, 1.21.0)?
  • How long did the server take to respond?

This is perfect for:

  • Diagnosing downtime
  • Monitoring public servers
  • Sharing status in Discord communities
  • Managing large Minecraft networks

🛏️ Bedrock & Java Edition Support

A simple checkbox lets you switch between:

  • Java Edition (PC)
  • Bedrock Edition (Mobile, Console, Windows 10)

Under the hood, the tool switches APIs based on edition type — ensuring accurate results for both server types.

No need to use separate tools or guess which edition your players are using.

🧱 Fully Styled Server MOTD Preview

This tool stands out by beautifully rendering MOTD formatting codes directly in the browser. It supports:

  • 🎨 Minecraft color codes (e.g., §c, §6)
  • 💬 Bold (§l), italic (§o), underline (§n), strikethrough (§m)
  • 🎭 Multiple lines of text (newline characters supported)
  • ✅ Properly styled with readable fonts and Minecraft-like visual design

Java Edition MOTDs are parsed and displayed with exact styling using dynamically generated <span> elements. Bedrock MOTDs (usually cleaner) are also presented accurately.

📋 One-Click MOTD Copy

Want to reuse a cool MOTD you saw on a server?

Just hit the “Copy MOTD Code” button and the raw string (including Minecraft color codes like §6§lWelcome!) is copied to your clipboard — ready to paste into your own server.properties, plugin config, or MOTD generator.

Visual feedback and animations make the copy action satisfying and user-friendly.

🖼️ Server Icon Display

If your server has an icon (favicon), this tool automatically shows it. It fetches and displays the image cleanly next to your server details. If no icon is found, a fallback default is shown.

This adds a visual identity to your server’s status, especially useful when embedding screenshots or sharing results on Discord/social media.

📉 Ping Latency Tester

The built-in ping calculator gives you an estimate of the server’s response time. It’s useful for:

  • Testing server performance
  • Comparing host locations
  • Diagnosing lag or connection issues

Displayed in milliseconds (ms), it’s calculated from the moment you press Check Status to the moment the server replies.

📱 Mobile-Friendly, Responsive Layout

Built with CSS Flexbox and media queries, the layout adapts beautifully on:

  • Mobile phones
  • Tablets
  • Desktops

Whether you’re checking server uptime from your laptop or your phone, the experience is fast and smooth.

🧪 How It Works (Under the Hood)

This tool uses:

  • HTML5 + CSS for layout, styling, and responsive design
  • JavaScript (with async/await) for real-time API calls
  • The MCSrvStat.us API, a reliable and community-supported service
  • Dynamic rendering for color/format codes using span classes
  • Clipboard API for one-click copy
  • Automatic fallback techniques for unsupported browsers

The tool separates Bedrock and Java requests using different endpoints:

  • https://api.mcsrvstat.us/2/<ip> for Java
  • https://api.mcsrvstat.us/bedrock/3/<ip> for Bedrock

👥 Use Cases

This tool is a must-have for:

🌍 Server Owners

  • Monitor your server’s availability at any time
  • Test MOTD changes instantly
  • Check how your server looks to new players

🧪 Developers & Plugin Testers

  • Debug ping or network issues
  • See version and icon changes in real time
  • Confirm that API or firewall changes aren’t breaking the server

💬 Discord Bot Integration

  • Use alongside Discord webhooks or bots
  • Share snapshots of server status (e.g., We're ONLINE with 25/100 players!)

🎮 Players & Community Members

  • Check if your favorite server is online before launching Minecraft
  • Copy cool MOTDs for inspiration
  • Confirm player count for minigame or SMP lobbies

🚀 How To Use

  1. Enter your server IP or domain (e.g., play.hypixel.net, mc.example.com)
  2. Select Bedrock Edition if your server is Bedrock-based
  3. Click Check Status
  4. View full server info:
    • Online status
    • Player count
    • Version & ping
    • MOTD & icon
  5. (Optional) Click Copy MOTD Code to reuse it

⚠️ Tip: This tool uses public APIs, so make sure your server allows pinging (e.g., enable query.enabled=true in your server.properties if needed).

🎯 Why Use This Over Other Tools?

✅ Lightweight — no login, no database, no ads
✅ Accurate — based on trusted MCSrvStat API
