Check it from your own game
Minecraft runs the same kind of check every time you open the server list. On Java Edition, add play.astroworldmc.com under Multiplayer. If the server answers, you see how many players are online. If your game is on a different version, the list shows the version the server expects instead. Bedrock players add the same address, and Geyser with Floodgate lets them in.
If the list cannot reach the server at all, check the address for typos and make sure your network allows outgoing traffic on port 25565. School and office networks often block it. The how to join guide on the wiki walks through the first connection step by step.
Where updates go
Status updates are posted on our Discord. Patch notes and bigger announcements get a post on the news page, and r/astroworldmc is another place to ask what is going on.
Behind the staff login
Staff and beta testers see more than this card: player counts over time, TPS, uptime and version history. Those pages open after logging in.
Checking a different server
This page only follows Astroworld. To look up any other Java server by its address, use the server status checker. If you run your own server, a status badge puts its live state on your website or in a README.
