Valheim Server Status Checker

Enter the Valheim server's IP address or hostname and click 'Check Server Status'. Our tool queries the server using the Steam query protocol and returns the current status, player count, and latency within seconds.

The status checker shows whether the server is online or offline, the current number of players (out of the 10-player maximum), server latency (ping), and the server name. Valheim servers have a relatively simple query response compared to other games.

A Valheim server might show as offline if it's not running in public mode (-public 1), the IP address or port is incorrect, or the server is behind a firewall blocking Steam query packets. Crossplay servers may also have limited query support.

Yes, Valheim servers must be started with the -public 1 flag to respond to external status queries. Private servers (without public mode) will show as offline in our checker even if they're running. This is a Valheim-specific requirement.

You can check as often as you like. Results are cached for 30 seconds to avoid excessive queries, so checking the same server within 30 seconds will return the cached result.
