MinecraftQuery

With Minecraft (old-beta-release-)1.9 came a shiny new tool to allow native status querying in vanilla Minecraft servers. This is a simple class designed to aid in retrieving any data from the servers.

Usage

from minecraft_query import MinecraftQuery

query = MinecraftQuery("localhost", 25565)

basic_status = query.get_status()
print "The server has %d players" % (basic_status['numplayers'])

full_info = query.get_rules()
print "The server is on the map '%s'" % (full_info['map'])
