What is this?

A free API to check the status of any Minecraft server. Send a request with a server address and receive player count, version, MOTD, and server icon.

How it works

The API directly queries Minecraft servers using the official protocol:

• Java Edition: TCP Server List Ping on port 25565
• Bedrock Edition: UDP ping on port 19132
• Automatic SRV record lookup for Java servers

Results are cached for 2 minutes.
