Mojang API
Contents
Notes
- All public APIs are rate limited so you are expected to cache the results. This is currently set at 600 requests per 10 minutes but this may change.
- For some parts of the API, demo accounts are sometimes included, sometimes not. Mojang keeps changing this.
API Status
GET https://status.mojang.com/check
Returns status of various Mojang services. Possible values are green
(no issues), yellow
(some issues), red
(service unavailable).

Username -> UUID at time
GET https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/<username>?at=<timestamp>
This will return the uuid of the name at the timestamp provided.
?at=0
can be used to get the UUID of the original user of that username, however it only works if the name was changed at least once, or if the account is legacy.
- The timestamp is a UNIX timestamp (without milliseconds)
- When the
at
parameter is not sent, the current time is used
Response
{
"id": "7125ba8b1c864508b92bb5c042ccfe2b",
"name": "KrisJelbring"
}
name
is the current name of that uuid, it is not the name requested!legacy
only appears when true (not migrated to mojang account)demo
only appears when true (account unpaid)
If there is no player with the given username an HTTP status code 204 (No Content) is sent without any HTTP body.
If the timestamp is not a number, too big or too small the HTTP status code 400 (Bad Request) is sent with an error message looking like this:
{
"error": "IllegalArgumentException",
"errorMessage": "Invalid timestamp."
}
UUID -> Name history
https://api.mojang.com/user/profiles/<uuid>/names
Returns all the usernames this user has used in the past and the one they are using currently. The UUID must be given without hyphens.
Response
[
{
"name": "Gold"
},
{
"name": "Diamond",
"changedToAt": 1414059749000
}
]
The changedToAt
field is a Java timestamp in milliseconds.
Playernames -> UUIDs
POST https://api.mojang.com/profiles/minecraft
Where 'minecraft' - agent name
This will return player UUIDS and some extras.
Payload
[
"maksimkurb",
"nonExistingPlayer" //Test for non-existing player
]
Response
[
{
"id": "0d252b7218b648bfb86c2ae476954d32",
"name": "maksimkurb",
"legacy": true,
"demo": true
}
]
- name is case-corrected
- legacy only appears when true (profile not migrated to mojang.com)
- demo only appears when true (account unpaid)
- IllegalArgumentException is returned when any of the usernames is null or ""
- The
Content-Type
HTTP header must beapplication/json
- You cannot request more than 100 names per request
UUID -> Profile + Skin/Cape
https://sessionserver.mojang.com/session/minecraft/profile/<uuid>
This will return the player's username plus any additional information about them (e.g. skins). Example: https://sessionserver.mojang.com/session/minecraft/profile/4566e69fc90748ee8d71d7ba5aa00d20
This has a much stricter rate limit: You can request the same profile once per minute, however you can send as many unique requests as you like.
Response
{
"id": "<profile identifier>",
"name": "<player name>",
"properties": [
{
"name": "textures",
"value": "<base64 string>",
"signature": "<base64 string; signed data using Yggdrasil's private key>" // Only provided if ?unsigned=false is appended to url
}
]
}
The "value" base64 string for the "textures" object decoded:
{
"timestamp": "<java time in ms>",
"profileId": "<profile uuid>",
"profileName": "<player name>",
"isPublic": "<true or false>",
"textures": {
"SKIN": {
"url": "<player skin URL>"
},
"CAPE": {
"url": "<player cape URL>"
}
}
}
- The timestamp is sometimes in the past (probably due to cached results?)
- The
"SKIN"
object will have"metadata": {"model": "slim"}
if the player model has slim arms (“Alex?” style). For square arms (“Steve?” style),"metadata"
will be missing. - If no custom skin has been set,
"SKIN"
will be missing.
Whether the player has the “Alex?” or “Steve?” skin depends on the Java hashCode of their UUID. Steve is used for even hashes. Example implementations: - Likewise
"CAPE"
will be missing if the account has no cape.
Change Skin
POST https://api.mojang.com/user/profile/<uuid>/skin
This will set the skin for the selected profile, but Mojang's servers will fetch the skin from a URL. This will also work for legacy accounts.
Response
Upon error the server will send back a JSON with the error. (Success is a blank payload)
Headers
Authorization: Bearer <access token>
Payload
The payload for this API consists of two url-encoded form fields (conjoined by '&').

Headers
Authorization: Bearer <access token>
Blocked Servers
GET https://sessionserver.mojang.com/blockedservers
Returns a list of SHA1 hashes used to check server addresses against when the client tries to connect.
Clients check the lowercase name, using the ISO-8859-1 charset, against this list. They will also attempt to check subdomains, replacing each level with a *
. Specifically, it splits based off of the .
in the domain, goes through each section removing one at a time. For instance, for mc.example.com
, it would try mc.example.com
, *.example.com
, and *.com
. With IP addresses (verified by having 4 split sections, with each section being a valid integer between 0 and 255, inclusive) substitution starts from the end, so for 192.168.0.1
, it would try 192.168.0.1
, 192.168.0.*
, 192.168.*
, and 192.*
.
This check is done by the bootstrap class in netty. The default netty class is overridden by one in the com.mojang:netty dependency loaded by the launcher. This allows it to affect any version that used netty (1.7+)
