Questions about this server
What is the IP address for Purevanilla?
The address for Purevanilla is msl.purevanilla.co. In Minecraft Java Edition choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and paste it into the Server Address box.
Is Purevanilla online right now?
Not at our last check. Purevanilla stopped replying to our pings; the last time it answered was 2026-09-29 05:13 UTC. Servers do come back, so it is worth trying again later.
What Minecraft version does Purevanilla run?
Purevanilla reports BungeeCord 1.8.x-26.x, which means it accepts clients from 1.8 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 Purevanilla?
No. Purevanilla only answered on Java when we tested it, so Bedrock players cannot use this address. We repeat the test daily and will update this page if that changes.
How many players are on Purevanilla?
193 at our last ping. The seven-day average is 193 and the highest we have recorded in that window is 279. The chart further up this page shows how that number moves through the day.
Is Purevanilla free to join?
Yes, joining Purevanilla 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.
