minecraft-status

Node.js module for gathering information about Minecraft Java Edition servers and Minecraft Bedrock Edition servers.

minecraft-status was based off of mc-ping-updated, mc-stat, and mcpe-ping.

minecraft-status supports the Server List Ping protocol for Minecraft Java Edition servers on Minecraft versions 1.7 and above (current), 1.6, and 1.4 through 1.5, and Beta 1.8 through 1.3 and the Query protocol for Minecraft Java Edition servers on Minecraft versions 1.9pre4 and above.

Support for Minecraft Bedrock Edition servers should be implemented soon™️.

Documentation

Include minecraft-status in your project like so.

// MinecraftServerListPing (either)
const { MinecraftServerListPing } = require("minecraft-status");
const MinecraftServerListPing = require("minecraft-status").MinecraftServerListPing;
 
// MinecraftQuery (either)
const { MinecraftQuery } = require("minecraft-status");
const MinecraftQuery = require("minecraft-status").MinecraftQuery;
 
// Both
const { MinecraftServerListPing, MinecraftQuery } = require("minecraft-status");

For more information on the Server List Ping or Query protocols, consult wiki.vg.

Unlike previous versions of minecraft-status, functions use promises rather than callback functions.

MinecraftServerListPing.ping(4, "mc.hypixel.net", 25565, 3000)
.then(response => {
    // Success
})
.catch(error => {
    // Error
});
