The address for MineSpot is mcs.minespot.org. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.
Is MineSpot online right now?

What Minecraft version does MineSpot run?
MineSpot reports Velocity 1.7.2-26.3, which means it accepts clients from 1.7 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 MineSpot?
Yes. MineSpot 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.

0 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 1 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 3. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.
When is the best time to play on MineSpot?
Around 00:00 UTC, when we typically count about 2 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on MineSpot over the last seven days.
Where is MineSpot hosted?
The address for MineSpot resolves to a machine in Canada. Players far from there should expect a longer round trip, which usually shows up as delayed block breaking rather than as a disconnect.
Is MineSpot free to join?
Yes, joining MineSpot 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.
