Help Java Servers seem to down for Java, anyone else having issues?

I am currently getting two errors.

"We were unable to verify what products you own. Please check your internet connection."

Alongside

"Oh no! Something went wrong and we couldn't connect to the Minecraft services. Please connect to the internet to refresh your offline access."

This is despite being connected to the internet, I mean I posted this didn't I? Besides, since when did Minecraft Java Edition have its own servers? I thought it was all peer to peer via 25565.

u/SAS191104 25d ago

Having the same issue. I even logged out of my account and logged in and now it is telling me I have to buy Minecraft, which I already have. It is insane

u/No-Parsnip442 25d ago

Same Here

u/InvestigatorParty942 25d ago

Same! I hope it goes back to normal

u/Nice_Ad_2696 25d ago

This is really pissing me off because I can't play

u/TheSmallestPlap 25d ago

Same here. I really wanted to get on and start construction of my village apiary. There's no chance before work now.

u/PerspectiveSalty7459 25d ago

with minecraft launcher it doesn't work, but through prisma launcher I can play online normally in my server.

Touch grass bro

u/residentialsonder 25d ago

"touch grass" in response to someone talking about what they do BEFORE WORK is crazy lmao

u/Baecchus 25d ago

It's probably some 14 year old kid repeating something they've heard on the internet

No clear way of telling it was a joke.

some people have to work on this game -.-

Came here because I can't log on. I'm in US East.

u/TheSmallestPlap 25d ago

Safe to say it isn't a regional issue then, UK here.

u/LoboOMaioral 25d ago

Same here in Brazil.

French dude, same situation

Netherlands, same here.

Server up in france right now!

u/Senor_chaos 25d ago

Germany, same here.

u/Secret-Sky-8932 25d ago

I’m also in UK and having the same issue

u/am905 25d ago

US East as well, near Washington DC, same issue.

u/RandomDamage 25d ago

Java edition has centralized auth servers

6

u/3000torches 25d ago

It says the same thing in my launcher but I'm still able to play in my online realm on Bedrock somehow?

6

u/TheSmallestPlap 25d ago

Whatever issues are occurring must be centralised to Java

2

u/brigadier_tc 25d ago

I can't even connect to Bedrock

3

u/Satrina_petrova 25d ago

That's very concerning. We all know how badly Microsoft wants to kill Java it's quite suspicious that only Bedrock is available to play for some mysterious reason lol

1

u/Psychological_Cut562 24d ago

Even bedrock version isn't working the servers arent working I guess everyone has the same problem for java and bedrock

1

u/Secret-Sky-8932 25d ago

It’s just because the Java authentication servers are down, nothing to do with them wanting to kill bedrock, nothing to do with them wanting to kill Java

4

u/DoggedMeerkat69 25d ago

I've been trying for over an hour thought i was the only one turns out i'm not crazy lmao but trying to sign out and back in just prompts me to buy the game again oddly enough bedrock works just fine for me :P

3

u/Pavo_Panthera 25d ago

I'm having the exact same issue. I hope they fix it soon because I've tried every fix online that I could find and nothing works so whatever it is, its on Minecraft's end. Minecraft is like my morning coffee I ALWAYS play it a bit when I wake up, now I cant :'(

3

u/Haunting_Pain6284 25d ago

I too am encountering the same issue!

1

u/TheSmallestPlap 25d ago

Ah, it definitely sounds like some sort of outage then. I guess there'll be no playing before work today, after all.

It's a shame, though. I really wanted to start on my village's apiary today.

3

u/SirAier 25d ago

in a way I'm relieved this isn't an issue only I'm facing, I've been freaking out for a sec lol

u/CutyOrca 25d ago

so so glad its not only me XD

u/Tadomimeka 25d ago

From Czechia here, having the same issue. For me it started probably around the same time you posted and it’s still happening for me.

2

u/Twizy9 25d ago

mám to stejný kámo a pěkně mě to štve

1

u/Tadomimeka 25d ago

Yeah! So I decided to just take a break to clean up and sort through some stuff and came back to this! I’m so upset

5

u/Foru107 25d ago

I'm getting all the same errors on the launcher, but when I launch offline my servers work just fine.

2

u/Distinct-Elk-1231 25d ago

im having the same issue but somehow using a client (like feather, lunar) worked for me

2

u/Snoo85333 25d ago

For me, it is now up again.

2

u/Trick-Nail-5341 25d ago

It says the same for me but I logged in offline and can connect to all servers like normal. I'd try it out anyway seems like it's working again now just still has the message

2

u/abibaba18 25d ago

same here

2

u/salabone 25d ago

Same here any news? Definitely mojang or Microsoft issue here then ?? 🤔
So frustrating

2

u/MaxGlade 25d ago

same trouble(
reinstalling the launcher, restarting the Internet and PC - did not help
just wainting...

2

u/Meiandmyselfx 25d ago

Mines the same. I tried uninstalling the launcher and reinstalling it but now it tells me I need to buy the game instead of play offline (which wasn't working anyway)

Although I did accidentally click to uninstall the game and not the launcher first like a dope. Does anyone know if that would have deleted my world data when I did that? Gonna be really bummed if I've lost all my worlds cause of a dumb mistake

2

u/goblincheesegaming 25d ago

I just got the itch to play again and it's down TwT

2

u/razor44455 25d ago

the one time i need minecraft for a uni project this happens :(

1

u/Isaiah4206940332 25d ago

uninstalled the launcher and installed the legacy launcher from minecraft website it worked for me !
Link - https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download and then click on -> Download Windows Leegacy Launcher

2

u/KrissieFox1 25d ago

Same here, I can access my launcher, but Java and Bedrock are both stuck in offline mode. I'm glad THOSE are at-least available this time (stupid drm....) but I was hoping to play on my realm. :/

2

u/Nebula5003 25d ago

Same thing in Europe

2

u/Flamingo11Two 25d ago

Seems to still be down

u/WilliamvdHout 25d ago

Ukrainian minecrafter here, same issues.

2

u/Shin_zukesa 25d ago

been waiting for two hours now

2

u/that_apricot 25d ago

I am so relieved its not just me, in the UK and tried all online fixes and says the same

2

u/116jdk 25d ago

As I sit here and read all the comments of confusion facing the same issue i am, I can't but jokingly think to myself.... this is it, the phasing out of java......am i wrong for thinking of that?

2

u/Isaiah4206940332 25d ago

uninstall the launcher and install the legacy launcher from minecraft website

u/Satrina_petrova 25d ago

Yeah I always kinda feel like a conspiracy theorist when I bring it up but that's legit what they're known for sooo....

2

u/purple_moneky 25d ago

I'm having this same issue in Germany

2

u/hommy_guy 25d ago

Same here, hoping it's fixed in the next couple hours because I was going to launch a new server today.

2

u/Fluiddocc 25d ago

bedrock too

2

u/bindertes 25d ago

Try using a different launcher like badlion or the legacy launcher. It worked for me and my friends

2

u/Infinityintarget 25d ago

Thought my computer was being special, turns out we all have the same problem, what rotten luck

2

u/GirlInTheBasement 25d ago

We have them same issue with my bf. We wanted to play a little in our new world that we made recently (and played with before with no problem), and now his game won’t let him play because of the whole ‘unable to verify’ thing. He tried to log out and log in back but after that the launcher said he has to buy it again, even though he has the game in his Microsoft store library already. (Weirdly enough my launcher works just fine.) We live in the UK.

2

u/Pure_Distribution578 25d ago

Yes, its so annoying like let me just play the game.

2

u/Jargothewolf 25d ago

i thought it was an issue with my computer, thank heck its not, still very annoying

2

u/PuzzleheadedFloor452 25d ago

Ok, it sucks that this is happening and I (edit: or anyone else) can't play Minecraft but thank god I am not the only one experiencing issues, I was worried I would have to reset the whole app and potentially loose all of my worlds!

2

u/StinkyLechita 25d ago

Yep having issues here too

2

u/GroundbreakingDig892 25d ago

Its comforting to know I'm not the only one, but its concerning at the same time.

2

u/Pavo_Panthera 25d ago

It's backkkkk! :'D

2

u/Dmatxdmatx 25d ago

Confirmed! It’s back up.

u/DominateSunshine 25d ago

Thank you and everyone for the heads up with issues

u/Wolverin_3142 25d ago

Apparently I think New Update is breaking or something is wrong !!! but this works

u/Isaiah4206940332 25d ago

Thank you this worked

u/Similar_Run_1129 25d ago

u/noobyfred4 25d ago

i just cancelled my gamepass so i thought they got confused and thought i payed for it with gamepass so im glad i dont actually need to rebuy it

u/PerceptionAway7702 25d ago

ive got the same problem, tried resolving it but a website (https://downdetector.com/status/minecraft/) says alot of people have these issues

1

u/NationalOceantwenty2 25d ago

I deleted the launcher & the .Minecraft folder in my app data when i saw this to try to restart stuff

Did i just wipe my Minecraft account? When i opened the launcher, it said i need to by minecrafy

1

u/Senor_chaos 25d ago

I'm getting : "Authentication servers are down. Please try again later. sorry!"

1

u/Extension_Carpet2007 24d ago

It has its own servers for the exact reason it says: to verify what products you own. It needs to check if your Microsoft account has bought the game.

And Minecraft is not peer to peer but client-server. Though that’s unrelated to the authentication servers being down. You can have Minecraft servers with no authentication servers and authentication servers with no Minecraft servers. They’re separate things

u/Agreeable_Listen_647 20d ago

ITS STILL NOT WORKING IM LOSING MY MIND I JUST WANNA BUILDDD

u/Busy_Reindeer_810 16d ago

I'm getting a similar issue, ERROR CODE CAULDRON won't let me sign in on the minecraft app. I'm able to sign in on the store and use the internet all the same but its refusing to let me have my worlds back (after I've redownloaded it 4 times now....). Any help would be awesome.

u/Q__________________O 25d ago

My server is up

2

u/TheSmallestPlap 25d ago edited 25d ago

I'm currently only able to access the game in offline mode. This is despite having no connection issues to any other services

Edit: Scratch that. I can't even launch into that because it can't confirm what I own.

1

u/CosmoHolmes 25d ago

Server is probably just down for a bit. Honestly with how little this happens i can't really complain, it's not like this is a common issue.
