    How does Minecraft even go down? Was it the MS-run Realms that were down? The entire x-box account authorization system?

      Azure, the hosting platform owned by MS, was experiencing a major outage which took down quite a few sites.

        Does it host the Minecraft authentication system as well? I haven’t been able to play recently to check this.

          Yep, MC auth is tied to Xbox Live Services, which is run on Azure

        Yeah, saw something after I left the comment. It was Minecraft per se that was down. It was the x box authorization/login system. Even bigger!

    So that’s why it took bundles 4 years , they took down the entirety of Microsoft’s servers

    This used to happen like twice a week, or at least it felt that way, back in the 1.2.5-1.7.10 days lol

    The login servers were sooo flaky.
