⚡ Quick Answer
No — Modrinth is operational as of this check. The official status page reports all services online: API, Website, CDN, Search, and Launcher Meta are all showing Operational. Modrinth did have two short API and Search outages this past week — on July 17 and July 18, 2026 — but both were resolved within hours the same day. If the site isn’t loading for you specifically, it’s most likely a local network, DNS, or browser-extension issue rather than a platform-wide outage.
📋 TL;DR — Key Points
- Modrinth’s official status page currently shows all services operational — no active incidents.
- Search is historically the least stable component, with the most frequent short outages of any Modrinth service over the past several months.
- Two recent incidents — July 17 and July 18, 2026 — both affected the API and Search and were resolved the same day.
- Third-party “down detector” sites are unreliable here — several show conflicting or stale status that doesn’t match Modrinth’s own live page.
- If Modrinth is down only for you, try a different network, DNS resolver, or disabling browser extensions before assuming a platform-wide outage.
Table of Contents
1. Current Modrinth Status
As of this update, Modrinth’s official status page displays “All services are online,” with every tracked component — API, Version API, Website, CDN, Search, and Launcher Meta — reporting Operational with no active incidents.
That doesn’t mean Modrinth has been perfectly stable all month — like most platforms, it sees occasional brief blips — but there’s currently no ongoing, widespread outage affecting the site or its mod-hosting infrastructure.
2. Component Uptime at a Glance
Modrinth tracks several components independently. Here’s how each has performed recently:
| Component | Current Status | Recent Uptime |
|---|---|---|
| API | Operational | ~99.9% |
| Version API | Operational | ~99.99% |
| Website | Operational | ~99.98% |
| CDN | Operational | 100% |
| Search | Operational | ~99.6% (least stable component) |
| Launcher Meta | Operational | 100% |
3. Recent Incidents
- July 18, 2026: API and Search went down; resolved the same day at 9:32 PM UTC.
- July 17, 2026: API and Search went down; resolved the same day at 7:40 PM UTC.
- April 25, 2026: API went down briefly; resolved the same day.
Search has historically been the most incident-prone component, with numerous short outages (typically 10 minutes to just over 2 hours) scattered across recent months — worth keeping in mind if it’s specifically mod search or browsing that’s failing for you, rather than downloads or the site itself.
4. How to Check Modrinth’s Status Yourself
- Official status page: status.modrinth.com shows real-time status for API, Website, CDN, Search, and Launcher Meta, plus a full incident history.
- Modrinth’s Discord: Linked directly from the status page, useful for real-time community confirmation during a suspected outage.
- Be cautious with third-party down-detector sites. Several aggregator sites returned conflicting statuses (some “up,” some “down”) for Modrinth at the same time this page was checked — Modrinth’s own status page is the more reliable source.
5. Is It Down Just for You?
If the official status page shows everything operational but Modrinth still won’t load for you, the issue is almost always local. Try these before assuming a hidden outage:
- Hard-refresh the page (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R) to rule out a stale cached version.
- Switch networks — try mobile data if you’re on Wi-Fi, or vice versa.
- Change your DNS resolver to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 in case your ISP’s default DNS is having trouble.
- Disable ad-blockers or privacy extensions temporarily, since some aggressively block API calls that Modrinth’s site relies on.
