Ok, I can't be the only one experiencing this. Recently (for the past few days) I have been attempting to connect to the server, and I am always met with this error message "Failed to log in: Authentication servers are down for maintenance." I googled the response, and a lot of people had this issue. I tried everything that was suggested. I reinstalled java for my system, I reinstalled Minecraft. I tried multiple different versions (i.e. 1.12, 1.12.2, 1.11) and restarted my computer. I even terminated my proxy to see if that was causing it. Nope, the error still persists. I didn't know if i should put this in "Bug reports" because it could be a problem with Minecraft itself. PLEASE HELP!
