the servers are super laggy and when you want to join a minigame you practicly cant without being kicked and some even kick you even you are not doing anything and the reason is error code 287 or server down. Ask Me • 2 years ago. Can log in and connect to Realms, but have been kicked twice and the lag is extreme.

We have tried pinging Minecraft website using our server and the website returned the above results. If minecraft.net is down for us too there is nothing you can do except waiting. Probably the server is overloaded, down or unreachable because of a network problem, outage or a website maintenance is in progress…

First, ensure you are running a completely vanilla version of minecraft. Forge/optifine are known to cause this problem every now and then. If this doesn’t work, you could have a corrupt install of Minecraft. A quick google search comes up with instructions to reinstall.

dont worry everybody, the minecraft servers are down for maintence atm. and will be returned shortly you can check on the status here

Hello. One of my friends made a Minecraft server and all of my friends with mojang accounts can connect but i cant connect (i have a Microsoft account).

The servers that Mojang runs, necessary to log into the game, are down. They might be performing maintenance, be under a DDoS attack, or simply have crashed. There’s nothing you can do except wait. Usually they aren’t down for too long but sometimes in the case of an extended DDoS like we had earlier this year, they can be unstable for a day or two.

The network driver is crashing the Internet and the Minecraft server. It’s not Minecraft’s fault. There is a bug in the Realtek drivers. I had this same problem and traced it in the Windows event logs to an assert statement left in the drivers by the developers. Using different configs as suggested by Oak made it less frequent, but still happen.

To fix the “Minecraft authentication servers are down” issue, you can check whether other internet-connected devices can use the internet normally. If no, there should be something wrong with the Internet connection. You can restart the router or modem to have a try.
