MCStatus

discord chat supported python versions current PyPI version Validation Tox test

Mcstatus provides an easy way to query Minecraft servers for any information they can expose.
It includes three modes of access (query, status and ping), the differences of which are listed below in usage.

Usage

We provide both an API which you can use in your projects, and a command line script, to quickly query a server.

Python API

Java Edition

from mcstatus import JavaServer

# You can pass the same address you'd enter into the address field in minecraft into the 'lookup' function
# If you know the host and port, you may skip this and use JavaServer("example.org", 1234)
server = JavaServer.lookup("example.org:1234")

# 'status' is supported by all Minecraft servers that are version 1.7 or higher.
status = server.status()
print(f"The server has {status.players.online} players and replied in {status.latency} ms")

# 'ping' is supported by all Minecraft servers that are version 1.7 or higher.
# It is included in a 'status' call, but is also exposed separate if you do not require the additional info.
latency = server.ping()
print(f"The server replied in {latency} ms")

# 'query' has to be enabled in a servers' server.properties file!
# It may give more information than a ping, such as a full player list or mod information.
query = server.query()
print(f"The server has the following players online: {', '.join(query.players.names)}")

Bedrock Edition

from mcstatus import BedrockServer

# You can pass the same address you'd enter into the address field in minecraft into the 'lookup' function
# If you know the host and port, you may skip this and use MinecraftBedrockServer("example.org", 19132)
server = BedrockServer.lookup("example.org:19132")

# 'status' is the only feature that is supported by Bedrock at this time.
# In this case status includes players_online, latency, motd, map, gamemode, and players_max. (ex: status.gamemode)
status = server.status()
print(f"The server has {status.players_online} players online and replied in {status.latency} ms")

Command Line Interface

At present time, this only works with Java servers, Bedrock is not yet supported.
