Changelog

What’s new, newest first.

18 July 2026

Redesigned the footer — brand, tagline and social links on the left, categorized navigation on the right.

Added a Join the Discord link to the footer — come chat about outages, report issues and suggest improvements.

The homepage now shows mineplex.com website status alongside the Java server and API components.

Hover over (or tap) the player graphs to see the exact player count at any point, and how long ago it was.
Hover over the uptime status bars to see each check’s status and when it was.

Added a help guide for connection problems — how to tell whether Mineplex is down for everyone, and how to fix it when it’s just you.
Added an “Is Mineplex back?” page — what happened to Mineplex, and how to play the relaunched server.
New Uptime page — Mineplex’s uptime over 24 hours, 7 and 30 days and all-time, a 90-day history strip, and a log of recent outages.
Even fewer false alarms: the outage history now only records sustained outages — a brief blip never counts as a recorded outage.
Added a friendly “page not found” page that points you back to the live status.
Faster page loads and a small text-contrast bump for easier reading.
Sustained Mineplex outages (and recoveries) can now post an alert to our Discord.

Added a dedicated page for checking any Minecraft server, linked from the footer.
Added About, Privacy, Terms and Contact pages.
Server details now have a collapsible “Raw JSON” view for the technically curious.
Added a link to CraftUtils — more Minecraft tools — on the Advanced and check-a-server pages.
New Players Online page with the full player history — 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day and all-time views, plus the all-time peak and average.
Gave the site its own icon in the browser tab.

Launched the live Mineplex status board — see at a glance whether Mineplex is up, rechecked every minute.
Shows the current player count for the Java server, plus whether the Mineplex API is reachable.
Added a copy-the-address button and a quick guide to joining the server.
Added a page footer with quick links and a credit to our live data source.
New Advanced page with full server details — version, MOTD, players, IP, port and SRV record.
Check any Minecraft server: type a host on the Advanced page for a shareable live status page.
Added an FAQ page covering how the checker works and what the statuses mean.
Advanced page now shows Mineplex web-endpoint reachability and quick links to popular servers.
The status now refreshes on its own every minute, so the manual refresh button is gone.
Added an uptime bar, a player-count graph and a recent-activity log to the homepage — shared history that everyone sees.
More accurate outage detection: we now cross-check two independent status services, so a single service blip no longer reports a false outage.
