Free Bedrock servers › SunRealms

SunRealms — is it up right now?

A survival network whose Dungeons season two has just opened. I've been pinging mc.sunrealms.net every ten minutes since August 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 — “SunRealms” does fine.

What I actually know

• 359 people are playing there right now.
• It's busiest around 19:00 UTC and quietest around 07:00 UTC.
• It answered 99.9% of my checks over a week.
• The longest it stayed down in one go was 20 minutes, on August 16.
• The most I've ever seen there is 535 players, on August 16.

In short

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.
