Free Bedrock servers › Hoplite

Hoplite — is it up right now?

Bedrock PvP: battle royale and minigames I've been pinging play.hoplite.gg every ten minutes since October 12, 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 — “Hoplite” does fine.

What I actually know

• 1,448 people are playing there right now.
• It's busiest around 18:00 UTC and quietest around 06:00 UTC.
• It answered 97.4% of my checks over a week.
• The longest it stayed down in one go was 10 minutes, on October 16.
• The most I've ever seen there is 2,489 players, on October 24.

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.
