Free Bedrock servers › BlocksMC

BlocksMC — is it up right now?

Bed Wars, SkyWars and PvP modes; large MENA and Asian playerbase. I've been pinging play.blocksmc.com:25565 every ten minutes since August 10, so everything below is something I measured, not something they told me.

Paste it exactly as it is — no http:// in front. Phones like to add one; Minecraft answers “Invalid server address” to it. Minecraft also asks for a Server Name: that is only a label in your own list, so type anything — “BlocksMC” does fine.

What I actually know

• 521 people are playing there right now.
• It's busiest around 17:00 UTC and quietest around 04:00 UTC.
• It answered 99.9% of my checks over a week.
• The longest it stayed down in one go was 10 minutes, on August 11.
• The most I've ever seen there is 929 players, on August 18.

How to join from your phone

1. Copy the address above.
2. Open Minecraft, tap Play, then the Servers tab.
3. Scroll to the bottom and tap Add Server.
4. Name it anything, paste play.blocksmc.com as the address, port 25565.

Note the port — 25565, not the usual 19132. Miss it and the server just won't show up.

In short

• Free to join. All you need is Minecraft itself.
• Modes: bedwars, PvP, minigames.
• Chat there is mostly in English and Spanish and Turkish and Indonesian.
• The server itself sits in Europe.

Others a bit like it

• Lifeboat 7,414 online

This server isn't mine — I only list it, and its chat, rules and staff are its own. What I can vouch for is the measuring: one packet every ten minutes, and if it goes quiet for half an hour it drops off the list by itself.
