# mineping
This JavaScript library provides an implementation of the Minecraft server ping protocol. **It allows you to gather information about a Minecraft server**, such as the MOTD, current online players, server icon (Java Edition only), and more.

## Requirements
> **[Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) 14 or newer is required**
## Install
To install `mineping`, simply run the following command:
```
npm i @minescope/mineping
```
> To install _beta_ version (if available), run: `npm i @minescope/mineping@next`
## Loading and configuration the module
### ES Modules (ESM)
If you are using ES Modules, you can import the library like this:
```js
import { pingJava, pingBedrock } from "@minescope/mineping";
```
### CommonJS
`mineping` is an ESM-only module — you are not able to import it with `require()`.
If you cannot switch to ESM, you can use the async `import()` function from CommonJS to load `mineping` asynchronously:
```js
const pingJava = (...args) =>
import("@minescope/mineping").then((module) => module.pingJava(...args));
const pingBedrock = (...args) =>
import("@minescope/mineping").then((module) => module.pingBedrock(...args));
```
## Usage
Ping a Java server with default options:
```js
import { pingJava } from "@minescope/mineping";
const data = await pingJava("mc.hypixel.net");
console.log(data);
```
Ping a Bedrock server with custom options:
```js
import { pingBedrock } from "@minescope/mineping";
const data = await pingBedrock("mco.mineplex.com", {
port: 19132,
timeout: 500,
});
console.log(data);
```
