Instrument sheet 02 · endpoint reachability

Mojang and Microsoft endpoint observations

A single-vantage synthetic ledger. It reports what the root endpoint did during a bounded request, without turning reachability into a global health claim.

Current evidence ledger

Collecting six endpoint observations

The instrument is collecting a bounded live reading. No status claim is shown until the check completes.

What the ladder proves

Each rung narrows the claim rather than accumulating false certainty.

  1. First-party incident context

    Linked · not ingested
    See Minecraft Help and PlayFab status. Their content is not converted into this ledger's verdicts.
  2. Root HTTPS reachability

    Measured now
    One bounded HTTPS HEAD request is sent to each fixed endpoint from the application host.
  3. Functional service transaction

    Not tested
    No login, join, profile, skin, or launcher workflow is completed. A root response cannot prove those contracts.
  4. Reachability conclusion

    Time-bounded
    Operational requires a clear success response. Ambiguous client responses remain Unknown; server failures or connection failure are Degraded and unconfirmed.

Claim boundary

A connection failure is evidence from this host only. It is never presented as a confirmed global outage.

Endpoint purpose register

Minecraft Session

Session and server-join identity infrastructure; the root probe does not execute session validation.

Minecraft API

Profile and account-service edge; root reachability does not prove a profile operation works.

Mojang API

Legacy player identity API edge; no UUID or history lookup is performed here.

Minecraft Skins

Texture delivery edge; this page does not request a player texture.

Minecraft Services

Version manifest distribution edge used by launchers.

Xbox Live Auth

Microsoft authentication edge; no user credential or login flow is exercised.

Interpretation questions

What exactly does this page check?

For each listed endpoint, the server sends one HTTPS HEAD request to the root and records the response class, latency, method, observed time, and validity boundary. It does not run a login or other functional transaction.

Why can a reachable endpoint still be Unknown?

API roots commonly return a client error because no route exists there. That demonstrates an edge response but does not prove the service contract is healthy, so the instrument declines to guess.
