MCServerPing

MCServerPing is a quick and easy Java API for grabbing Minecraft server information. It allows you to access information sent to the client to display on the server list. Currently, information available is:

• String and Text Component based MOTD
• Favicon
• Server and protocol versions
• Player counts and samples

Some additional features:

• Provides a simple built-in SRV resolver
• Allows you to retrieve Text Component based MOTD
• Much more

Please leave the copyright notice intact in source if you copy source into your code rather than build path.

If you require compatibility with the previous packets, use the alpha tag.

The latest version of MCServerPing is based heavily upon the work of zh32.

Configuration

Configuration is provided through the MinecraftPingOptions class. This class provides the following configuration options:

• String hostname (hostname of the server to query, required)
• int port (port of the server to query, optional default 25565)
• int timeout (socket timeout in ms, optional default 2000)
• String charset (charset for MOTD byte->string, optional default UTF-8)
• int protocolVersion (protocol version to ping the server with, optional default 4)

Example

MinecraftServerPing is very easy to use and implement into any project. Simply clone the repo, compile the code and add it to your build path. Coding with it is as simple as this too:

MCPingOptions options = MCPingOptions.builder()
  .hostname("example.com")
  .port(25565)
  .build();

MCPingResponse data = MCPing.getPing(options);      
System.out.println(data.getDescription().getStrippedText() + "  --  " + data.getPlayers().getOnline() + "/" + data.getPlayers().getMax());

An example class is available here.
