Questions about this server
What is the IP address for McHub?
The address for McHub is ms.mchub.com. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.
Is McHub online right now?
Yes. McHub replied to our ping with 39,045 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-12 09:08 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.
What Minecraft version does McHub run?
McHub reports BungeeCord 1.8.x-26.3x, which means it accepts clients from 1.8 through 1.26. A server with that kind of range is normally running a proxy that translates between versions.
Can Java and Bedrock players both join McHub?
Yes. McHub answered us on the Bedrock protocol as well as Java, so the same address works from a phone, a console and a PC. Bedrock players still need to enter the port separately.
How many players are on McHub?
39,045 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 47,030 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 63,517. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.
When is the best time to play on McHub?
Around 19:00 UTC, when we typically count about 55,497 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on McHub over the last seven days.
Where is McHub hosted?
The address for McHub resolves to a machine in United States. Players far from there should expect a longer round trip, which usually shows up as delayed block breaking rather than as a disconnect.
Is McHub free to join?
Yes, joining McHub 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.
