MineStat

MineStat is a Minecraft server status checker.

You can use these classes/modules in a monitoring script to poll multiple Minecraft servers or to let visitors see the status of your server from their browser. MineStat has been ported to multiple languages for use with ASP.NET, FastCGI, mod_perl, mod_php, mod_python, Node.js, Rails, Tomcat, and more.

If you are planning to host MineStat on a shared webhost, make sure that the provider allows outbound sockets.

C# example

using System;
using MineStatLib;

class Example
{
  public static void Main()
  {
    MineStat ms = new MineStat("minecraft.frag.land", 25565);
    Console.WriteLine("Minecraft server status of {0} on port {1}:", ms.Address, ms.Port);
    if(ms.ServerUp)
    {
      Console.WriteLine("Server is online running version {0} with {1} out of {2} players.", ms.Version, ms.CurrentPlayers, ms.MaximumPlayers);
      Console.WriteLine("Message of the day: {0}", ms.Motd);
      Console.WriteLine("Latency: {0}ms", ms.Latency);
    }
    else
      Console.WriteLine("Server is offline!");
  }
}

Go example

package main

import "fmt"
import "github.com/FragLand/minestat/minestat"

func main() {
  minestat.Init("minecraft.frag.land", "25565")
  fmt.Printf("Minecraft server status of %s on port %s:\n", minestat.Address, minestat.Port)
  if minestat.Online {
    fmt.Printf("Server is online running version %s with %s out of %s players.\n", minestat.Version, minestat.Current_players, minestat.Max_players)
    fmt.Printf("Message of the day: %s\n", minestat.Motd)
    fmt.Printf("Latency: %s\n", minestat.Latency)
  } else {
    fmt.Println("Server is offline!")
  }
}

Java example

import land.Frag.MineStat;

class Example
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    MineStat ms = new MineStat("minecraft.frag.land", 25565);
    System.out.println("Minecraft server status of " + ms.getAddress() + " on port " + ms.getPort() + ":");
    if(ms.isServerUp())
    {
     System.out.println("Server is online running version " + ms.getVersion() + " with " + ms.getCurrentPlayers() + " out of " + ms.getMaximumPlayers() + " players.");
     System.out.println("Message of the day: " + ms.getMotd());
     System.out.println("Latency: " + ms.getLatency() + "ms");
     System.out.println("Connected using protocol: " + ms.getRequestType());
    }
    else
      System.out.println("Server is offline!");
  }
}

JavaScript example

To use the npm package: npm install minestat

var ms = require('minestat');
ms.init('minecraft.frag.land', 25565, function(result)
{
  console.log("Minecraft server status of " + ms.address + " on port " + ms.port + ":");
  if(ms.online)
  {
    console.log("Server is online running version " + ms.version + " with " + ms.current_players + " out of " + ms.max_players + " players.");
    console.log("Message of the day: " + ms.motd);
    console.log("Latency: " + ms.latency + "ms");
  }
  else
  {
    console.log("Server is offline!");
  }
});

Perl example

To use the CPAN module: cpan Minecraft::ServerStatus

use Minecraft::ServerStatus;

$ms = Minecraft::ServerStatus::init("minecraft.frag.land", 25565);

print "Minecraft server status of $ms->{address} on port $ms->{port}:\n";
if($ms->{online})
{
  print "Server is online running version $ms->{version} with $ms->{current_players} out of $ms->{max_players} players.\n";
  print "Message of the day: $ms->{motd}\n";
  print "Latency: $ms->{latency}ms\n";
}
else
{
  print "Server is offline!\n";
}

PHP example

Note: MineStat for PHP requires multi-byte string support to handle character encoding conversion. Enabling mbstring support can be as simple as installing the php-mbstring package for your platform. If building PHP from source, see https://www.php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php. To validate, phpinfo() output will reference mbstring if the feature is enabled.

<?php
require_once('minestat.php');

$ms = new MineStat("minecraft.frag.land", 25565);
printf("Minecraft server status of %s on port %s:<br>", $ms->get_address(), $ms->get_port());
if($ms->is_online())
{
  printf("Server is online running version %s with %s out of %s players.<br>", $ms->get_version(), $ms->get_current_players(), $ms->get_max_players());
  printf("Message of the day: %s<br>", $ms->get_motd());
  printf("Latency: %sms<br>", $ms->get_latency());
  printf("Connected using protocol: %s<br>", $ms->get_request_type());
}
else
{
  printf("Server is offline!<br>");
}
?>

PowerShell example

. .\ServerStatus.ps1

$ms = ServerStatus -Address "minecraft.frag.land" -port 25565
"Minecraft server status of {0} on port {1}:" -f $ms.address, $ms.port

if ($ms.online)
{
  "Server is online running with {0} out of {1} players." -f $ms.current_players, $ms.max_players
  "Message of the day: {0}" -f $ms.motd
  "Latency: {0}ms" -f $ms.latency
}
else
{
  "Server is offline!"
}

Python example

To use the PyPI package: pip install minestat

import minestat

ms = minestat.MineStat('minecraft.frag.land', 25565)
print('Minecraft server status of %s on port %d:' % (ms.address, ms.port))
if ms.online:
  print('Server is online running version %s with %s out of %s players.' % (ms.version, ms.current_players, ms.max_players))
  print('Message of the day: %s' % ms.motd)
  print('Latency: %sms' % ms.latency)
  print('Connected using protocol: %s' % ms.slp_protocol)
else:
  print('Server is offline!')

Ruby example

To use the gem: gem install minestat

require 'minestat'

ms = MineStat.new("minecraft.frag.land", 25565)
puts "Minecraft server status of #{ms.address} on port #{ms.port}:"
if ms.online
  puts "Server is online running version #{ms.version} with #{ms.current_players} out of #{ms.max_players} players."
  puts "Message of the day: #{ms.motd}"
  puts "Latency: #{ms.latency}ms"
  puts "Connected using protocol: #{ms.request_type}"
else
  puts "Server is offline!"
end
