Hello, I've been having some problems with my Minecraft game (computer version). I am unable to log in, play online or play on severs. The first problem happen when I was playing with my friends on a server and they wanted to go on another server. So I opened another minecraft window and logged in it was perfectly fine. Then when I clicked the server I wanted to go on it said "this server is something something under maintenance, please check back later." so I waited and asked my friend if he was having problems too. He said no and he was waiting for me. So I tried another server, then another and the same happened with both of them. So I said "Hmm must be my internet connection. I will restart my computer." So I did and it didn't work and at that point it wouldn't let me log on any servers! So I looked up my problem and I tried two things that were most mentioned; reinstalling Java to latest version (which I did and didn't work) and log out of my profile and log back in. Once I did that it wouldn't even let me on minecraft! It pops up a message saying "Sorry, but we couldn't connect to our servers. Please make sure you are online and that Minecraft is not blocked." My internet is completely fine, and minecraft is not blocked... I'm really scared I have tried everything if someone could help me that would be great thanks! ~DudleyDoesMC P.S. I think this will help a lot of people with the same issue out.

This question has been asked a lot today, so no fear, it's not just you.

Currently, some of minecraft's servers (the ones that handle authentication and multiplayer server sessions) were (I just checked, they seem to be up!) down.

If this ever happens in the future check mojang's help page to make sure it's not just you.

It may be a bit shaky as it just came back up, so it can go back down, but let's hope for the best!

Thank you!
