Many players have reported being unable to access Minecraft, complaining that they have been encountering outages and other problems upon trying to log into the title or accessing various game modes. This is apparent from testimonies by hundreds of players on Downdetector.

The issue is seemingly tied to the massive Microsoft Azure outage that has been reported across different platforms. As of this writing, hundreds of users have reported major issues with the cloud service on Downdetector. Even the social media platform X is flooded with gamers complaining that they are unable to play many titles, including Minecraft.

Mojang's official support channel on the social media platform X has acknowledged the issue and assured players that the developers are actively working on a fix. They further stated that they will share an update once services have been restored.

With millions of active players, it comes as no surprise that many are vexed at this sudden outage. However, they will have to wait for the Azure servers to be stabilised before they can jump back into Minecraft's mines and check out the new features of the upcoming Mounts of Mayhem drop.
