Questions about this server
What is the IP address for Arch?
The address for Arch is arch.mc. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.
Is Arch online right now?
Yes. Arch replied to our ping with 1,021 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-24 13:08 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.
What Minecraft version does Arch run?
Arch reports Symphony 1.8.8-1.21.4, which means it accepts clients from 1.8 through 1.21. A server with that kind of range is normally running a proxy that translates between versions.
Can Java and Bedrock players both join Arch?
No. Arch only answered on Java when we tested it, so Bedrock players cannot use this address. We repeat the test daily and will update this page if that changes.
How many players are on Arch?
1,021 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 800 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 1,371. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.
When is the best time to play on Arch?
Around 15:00 UTC, when we typically count about 1,069 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on Arch over the last seven days.
Is Arch free to join?
Yes, joining Arch costs nothing beyond owning Minecraft. Some servers additionally allow offline-mode accounts and some do not — the server decides that, and we do not resell anything.
