Free Bedrock servers › Lifeboat

Lifeboat — is it up right now?

One of the oldest Bedrock networks: bedwars, skywars, survival I've been pinging play.lbsg.net every ten minutes since October 11, 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 — “Lifeboat” does fine.

What I actually know

• 8,285 people are playing there right now.
• It's busiest around 16:00 UTC and quietest around 05:00 UTC.
• It answered 100% of my checks over a week.
• The longest it stayed down in one go was 10 minutes, on October 13.
• The most I've ever seen there is 9,574 players, on October 11.

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.
