Minecraft status page says the service is up, but I'm having issues. What's wrong?

There may be several reasons for that: An outage that hasn't been communicated yet via the Minecraft status page. Some local issues with a small group of accounts on the service side. Technical issues on your side, or problems with your software or ISP. A misconfiguration or problem on your side. We recommend contacting Minecraft customer support while checking everything on your side.
