Common causes include: (1) Authentication servers are down for maintenance, (2) Your access token expired and needs refresh, (3) Your internet connection is unstable, (4) Firewall or antivirus is blocking the authentication HTTPS request, or (5) You are using an outdated launcher or Java version. Start by restarting your launcher completely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- FAQ Item 3 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #ffffff; border-radius: 10px; padding: 22px 26px; margin: 0 0 16px 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.06); border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\">\n<h3 style=\"color: #1565c0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 10px 0;\">How long do Minecraft authentication server outages usually last?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #455a64; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0;\">Minor authentication outages typically resolve within 15 to 45 minutes. Scheduled maintenance windows last 1 to 2 hours and are announced in advance. Major infrastructure failures (such as Microsoft Azure AD outages) can extend to 3 to 6 hours but are uncommon. The longest recorded Mojang authentication outage was 8 hours during the 2022 Microsoft account migration period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- FAQ Item 4 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #ffffff; border-radius: 10px; padding: 22px 26px; margin: 0 0 16px 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.06); border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\">\n<h3 style=\"color: #1565c0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 10px 0;\">Can I play Minecraft singleplayer when authentication servers are down?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #455a64; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0;\">Yes. Singleplayer worlds in Minecraft Java Edition do not require authentication server connectivity after the initial launcher login. However, if you are not already logged into the launcher when the outage begins, you will be unable to launch the game in online mode. Bedrock Edition requires Xbox Live authentication even for singleplayer, so Bedrock players are fully affected by authentication outages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- FAQ Item 5 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #ffffff; border-radius: 10px; padding: 22px 26px; margin: 0 0 16px 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.06); border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\">\n<h3 style=\"color: #1565c0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 10px 0;\">What is the difference between Login Server and Session Server?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #455a64; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0;\">The Login Server (authserver.mojang.com) verifies your account credentials when you open the Minecraft launcher and log in. It issues an access token. The Session Server (sessionserver.mojang.com) verifies that token when you try to join a multiplayer server. If the Login Server is down, you cannot open Minecraft. If the Session Server is down, you can open Minecraft but cannot join multiplayer servers. They are separate services and can fail independently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- FAQ Item 6 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #ffffff; border-radius: 10px; padding: 22px 26px; margin: 0 0 16px 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.06); border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\">\n<h3 style=\"color: #1565c0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 10px 0;\">Do I need to migrate my Mojang account to Microsoft to play?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #455a64; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0;\">Yes. As of 2023, all Minecraft Java Edition accounts have been migrated to Microsoft accounts. The old Mojang account system is deprecated. If you have not migrated, you must create a Microsoft account and link your existing Minecraft profile. The migration process is mandatory and free. Microsoft account authentication is now the only supported method for Java Edition login.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- FAQ Item 7 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #ffffff; border-radius: 10px; padding: 22px 26px; margin: 0 0 28px 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.06); border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\">\n<h3 style=\"color: #1565c0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 10px 0;\">Why does my skin show as Steve\/Alex during server outages?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #455a64; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0;\">When the Mojang Skins Server (textures.minecraft.net) is down or degraded, your custom skin cannot be downloaded by the game client or multiplayer servers. The game falls back to the default Steve or Alex skin model. This is cosmetic only and does not affect gameplay. Your skin will return automatically once the skins server recovers. You do not need to re-upload your skin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONCLUSION \/ KEY INSIGHTS --><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #1a237e; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 28px; font-weight: bold;
