Free Bedrock servers › CatCraft

CatCraft — is it up right now?

Survival across several worlds, with the resource world reset regularly. I've been pinging bedrock.catcraft.net every ten minutes since August 11, so everything below is something I measured, not something they told me.

Paste it exactly as it is — no http:// in front. Phones like to add one; Minecraft answers “Invalid server address” to it. Minecraft also asks for a Server Name: that is only a label in your own list, so type anything — “CatCraft” does fine.

What I actually know

• 157 people are playing there right now.
• It's busiest around 17:00 UTC and quietest around 07:00 UTC.
• It answered 100% of my checks over a week.
• It hasn't missed a single check since I started watching it.
• The most I've ever seen there is 225 players, on August 23.

This server isn't mine — I only list it, and its chat, rules and staff are its own. What I can vouch for is the measuring: one packet every ten minutes, and if it goes quiet for half an hour it drops off the list by itself.
