Questions about this server

What is the IP address for Northbound?

The address for Northbound is play.northbound.gg. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.

Is Northbound online right now?

Yes. Northbound replied to our ping with 0 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-24 15:10 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.

What Minecraft version does Northbound run?

Northbound reports version 1.21. Matching your client to that version is the usual fix when a server refuses the connection.

Can Java and Bedrock players both join Northbound?

Yes. Northbound 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 Northbound?

0 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 1 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 10. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.

When is the best time to play on Northbound?

Around 00:00 UTC, when we typically count about 1 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on Northbound over the last seven days.

Where is Northbound hosted?

The address for Northbound resolves to a machine in Germany. Players far from there should expect a longer round trip, which usually shows up as delayed block breaking rather than as a disconnect.

Is Northbound free to join?

Yes, joining Northbound 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.
