I bought Minecraft Java and whenever I try to join Serven I get the error message that the servers have been shut down for maintenance. This has been the case for 7 days now. I heard that when you use the MCleaks tool you get such an error message. I used the MCleak Tool but how can I fix it now?
Delete Minecraft Files (enter% AppData% in File Explorer and delete .minecraft)
ATTENTION: If necessary, copy the worlds and screenshots out beforehand.
Unfortunately did not help me. I still get the error message ' The servers are down for maintenance ''.
Even if you start a fresh version in the normal launcher?
Yes, unfortunately
Blocking software has probably been installed with the installation of MCLeaks. Let's look for your antivirus or a paint program.
As katzebiggi already writes, it's best to run an antivirus over it. If he doesn't find anything, I can recommend the free Malwarebytes software.
If you no longer have the MCLeaks Tool (the so-called MCLeaks Authenticator), download it again.
In the tool you can switch the mode between "MCLeaks" and "Mojang".
You probably didn't switch it back after using MCLeaks. Then comes the mistake you described. Because your Minecraft then wants to connect via MCLeaks, which is not possible with your real account.
Open the tool and click the Mojang button.
That should fix your problem. If not, then log into the launcher again. You can then uninstall it if you want.
Thank you, now it works.
With pleasure.
