Questions about this server

What is the IP address for MinecraftCave?

The address for MinecraftCave is sunnysmp.net. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.

Is MinecraftCave online right now?

Yes. MinecraftCave replied to our ping with 97 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-12 11:31 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.

What Minecraft version does MinecraftCave run?

MinecraftCave reports version 26.2. Matching your client to that version is the usual fix when a server refuses the connection.

Can Java and Bedrock players both join MinecraftCave?

Yes. MinecraftCave 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 MinecraftCave?

97 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 157 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 328. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.

When is the best time to play on MinecraftCave?

Around 20:00 UTC, when we typically count about 247 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on MinecraftCave over the last seven days.

Where is MinecraftCave hosted?

The address for MinecraftCave 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 MinecraftCave free to join?

Yes, joining MinecraftCave 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.
