Questions about this server
What is the IP address for PixelMC?
The address for PixelMC is pixel-mc.net. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.
Is PixelMC online right now?
Yes. PixelMC replied to our ping with 265 players connected. We last reached it at 2026-10-12 10:00 UTC and we re-check every five minutes.
What Minecraft version does PixelMC run?
PixelMC reports Velocity 1.20-26.3, which means it accepts clients from 1.20 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 PixelMC?
Yes. PixelMC 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 PixelMC?
265 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 324 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 546. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.
When is the best time to play on PixelMC?
Around 16:00 UTC, when we typically count about 473 players. That is the busiest hour we have measured on PixelMC over the last seven days.
Where is PixelMC hosted?
The address for PixelMC resolves to a machine in France. Players far from there should expect a longer round trip, which usually shows up as delayed block breaking rather than as a disconnect.
Is PixelMC free to join?
Yes, joining PixelMC 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.
