Mojang’s blocky sandbox game is currently inaccessible–a rarity for Minecraft. The last major widespread Minecraft outage was in October 2025, when the global Microsoft Azure cloud disruption affected services, including Minecraft authentication and Xbox Live.
Around 12:30 AM PT on June 1, players began to report problems with launching Minecraft via Downdetector. Attempting to connect to the game via the Minecraft Launcher shows the message, “Oh no! Something went wrong, and we couldn’t connect to the Minecraft services. Please connect to the internet to refresh your offline access.” A further error message reads, “We were unable to verify what products you own. Please check your internet connection.”
The two messages suggest an issue with the authentication servers, meaning players will be unable to log in or may experience problems in Realms, servers, or multiplayer sessions. This issue is also affecting those opening Minecraft from a third-party launcher, such as Prism or Curseforge.
At the time of writing, nothing has been posted from the official Mojang Support X account. We’ll continue to monitor the problem.
