Yes. MineStad replied to our ping with 30 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-12 11:34 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.
What Minecraft version does MineStad run?
MineStad 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 MineStad?
Yes. MineStad 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.

Around 15:00 UTC, when we typically count about 60 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on MineStad over the last seven days.
Where is MineStad hosted?
The address for MineStad 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 MineStad free to join?
Yes, joining MineStad 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.
