Que signifie ce résultat
The Hive is reachable.
If you still can't connect, the outage is on your side: DNS cache, VPN routing, ISP filtering, or a browser-level block. Try a different network or device to confirm.
Que faire ensuite
Try another network
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or disable your VPN. If it works there, the issue is on your primary network.
Browser reset
Try an incognito window or a different browser — a bad extension or cached error page can masquerade as downtime.
FAQ
Why won't The Hive connect?
Minecraft servers go offline for the same reasons any service does — restarts after updates, DDoS, host outages, or expired domains. We connect directly to The Hive via the SLP handshake; if the TCP socket refuses or times out, the server is unreachable. If our check shows online but you can't connect, verify your client version matches the server's protocol version.
What does the player count actually mean?
It's the live count returned by the server's own SLP response — not an estimate. The Hive reports 0 of 0 player slots in use right now. Some servers underreport (cracked, BungeeCord, sample-only) which is a server-side choice, not a probe artifact.
How often does isitdown.io re-check The Hive?
Every 5 minutes from the background monitor. You can also re-probe on demand by reloading this page — the probe runs server-side and the result you see is fresh.

Méthodologie
- Sonde
- We open a TCP socket to the server and issue a Minecraft Server List Ping (SLP) handshake, parsing the JSON response for version, MOTD, and player counts.
- Compté comme EN PANNE si
- The SLP handshake fails (TCP refused, timeout, or malformed response).
- Compté comme DÉGRADÉ si
- Rarely used for Minecraft — the SLP handshake is binary: either it completes or the server is unreachable.
- Détail
- Latency measures the full SLP round-trip from TCP connect to handshake response, not raw ICMP ping.
- Cadence
- Every 5 minutes, in parallel across 4 monitoring regions (US East Virginia, US West Oregon, Europe London, Asia Singapore).
- Cibles limitées en débit
- If a host returns 429 or consistently drops connections from our IPs, we cap retries at 3 and report the last observed status — we do not flood the target to confirm the outage.
- Source des données
- Direct probes from our monitoring infrastructure. We do not aggregate crowd reports, Twitter mentions, or DownDetector signals — every result on this page is a live network request.
