Questions about this server
What is the IP address for OwlCraft?
The address for OwlCraft is play.minefort.com. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.
Is OwlCraft online right now?
Yes. OwlCraft replied to our ping with 212 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-12 10:01 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.
What Minecraft version does OwlCraft run?
OwlCraft 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 OwlCraft?
Yes. OwlCraft 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 14:00 UTC, when we typically count about 510 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on OwlCraft over the last seven days.
Is OwlCraft free to join?
Yes, joining OwlCraft 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.
