Server Status Checker

A Python script that checks the status of a Minecraft server using the mcstatus.io API, and sends a notification to a Discord channel when the server goes online.

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher
• requests package
• dotenv package
• discord package
• mcstatus package

Installation

1. Clone or download the repository.
2. Install the required packages using pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. Create a .env file at the root of the project with the following variables:
   • YOUR_SERVER_ADDRESS: The IP address or domain name of your Minecraft server.
   • YOUR_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL: The URL of your Discord webhook.
4. Run the script using python server_status_checker.py.

Usage

When the script runs, it will check the status of the Minecraft server every minute. If the server goes online and there are players connected, the script will send a notification to the specified Discord channel using the Discord webhook.

Customization

You can customize the behavior of the script by modifying the following variables in the server_status_checker.py file:

• url: The URL of the mcstatus.io API, with the appropriate server type and address.
• discord_url: The URL of the Discord webhook.
• prev_online: The previous value of the number of players online.
• payload: The payload of the Discord webhook message.

You can also modify the frequency of the server status checks by changing the value of the time.sleep() function at the end of the script.
