MineStat

MineStat is a Minecraft server status checker library for Python, supporting a wide range of Minecraft servers:

  • Java Edition since Minecraft version Beta 1.8 (September 2011),
  • Bedrock Edition starting with Minecraft version 0.14 (March 2018), maybe earlier.

Supports Minecraft SRV record resolution, which requires the package dnspython. This mechanism allows server operators to use a custom port or host without the player having to type it. One common server utilizing this feature example is 2b2t: The actual server is at connect.2b2t.org, while users simply use 2bt2.org. MineStat supports querying both, if dnspython is installed.

Python example

PyPI

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))
  # Bedrock-specific attribute:
  if ms.gamemode:
    print('Game mode: %s' % ms.gamemode)
  print('Message of the day: %s' % ms.motd)
  print('Message of the day without formatting: %s' % ms.stripped_motd)
  print('Latency: %sms' % ms.latency)
  print('Connected using protocol: %s' % ms.slp_protocol)
else:
  print('Server is offline!')

Available parameters

The following parameters exist for the MineStat object:

  • address: str,
    • Hostname or IP address of the Minecraft server.
  • port: int = 0,
    • Optional port of the Minecraft server. Defaults to auto detection (25565 for Java Edition, 19132 for Bedrock/MCPE).
  • timeout: int = DEFAULT_TIMEOUT,
    • Optional timeout in seconds for each connection attempt. Defaults to 5 seconds.
  • query_protocol: SlpProtocols = SlpProtocols.ALL,
    • Optional protocol to use. See minestat.SlpProtocols for available choices. Defaults to auto detection.
  • resolve_srv: Optional[bool] = None
    • Optional, whether to resolve Minecraft SRV records. Requires dnspython to be installed.

Minimal example with port auto-detection:

import minestat
ms = minestat.MineStat('minecraft.frag.land')
print(f"Is online? {ms.online=}")

Available attributes

The following attributes are available on the MineStat object:

  • online: bool
    • Whether the server is online and reachable with the specified protocol. True if online.
  • address: str
    • Addresss (domain or IP-address) of the server to connect to.
  • port: int
    • Port of the server to connect to.
  • version: str
    • String describing the server Minecraft version. In vanilla servers the version number (e.g. 1.18.2), may be modified by the server (e.g. by ViaVersion). On Bedrock servers includes the Edition (MCEE/MCPE) and the server info.
  • motd: str
    • The raw MOTD returned by the server. May include formatting codes (§) or JSON chat components.
    • Examples (See #84 (comment)):
      • With formatting codes: §6~~§r §3§lM§7§lA§2§lG§9§lI§4§lC§r1.16 v3§6~~§r
      • JSON chat components: {"extra": [{"color": "gold", "text": "~~"}, {"text": " "}, {"bold": true, "color": "dark_aqua", "text": "M"}, {"bold": true, "color": "gray", "text": "A"}, {"bold": true, "color": "dark_green", "text": "G"}, {"bold": true, "color": "blue", "text": "I"}, {"bold": true, "color": "dark_red", "text": "C"}, {"text": "1.16 v3"}, {"color": "gold", "text": "~~"}], "text": ""}
  • stripped_motd: str
    • The MOTD with all formatting removed ("human readable").
    • Example (See #84 (comment))
      • Above MOTD example: ~~ MAGIC1.16 v3~~
  • current_players: int
    • Count of players currently online on the server.
  • max_players: int
    • Count of maximum allowed players as reported by the server.
  • latency: int
    • Time in milliseconds the server took to respond to the information request.
  • slp_protocol: minestat.SlpProtocol
    • Protocol used to retrieve information from the server.
  • connection_status: minestat.ConnStatus
    • Status of connection ("SUCCESS", "CONNFAIL", "TIMEOUT", or "UNKNOWN").
  • srv_record: bool
    • wether the server has a SRV record.
