Update timeline

  1. monitoring Jul 16, 2026, 08:30 AM UTC

    Mojang's authentication servers are having a partial outage at the moment. Users may take longer than normal to connect to the Essential network, or may not be able to connect at all. We are actively monitoring the situation, and will update this status page when the incident is resolved. Due to us having no control over Mojang's authentication servers, we cannot apply a fix for this issue.

  2. monitoring Jul 16, 2026, 08:52 AM UTC

    Mojang's authentication servers appear to be operational again. This status page entry will be resolved by 09:00 UTC if they do not regress again.
