    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.

        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!
