mineping

Collect information about Minecraft (both Java and Bedrock) using Node.js.

Description

mineping is a Javasript library thar provides Minecraft server ping protocol implementation. It can be used to collect information about the server, such as MODT, current online, server icon (java edition only) and etc.

Requirements

Node.js 14 or newer is required

Install

npm i @minescope/mineping

Loading and configuration the module

ES Modules (ESM)

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:

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:

import { pingJava } from '@minescope/mineping';

const data = await pingJava('mc.hypixel.net');
console.log(data);

Ping a Bedrock server with custom options:

import { pingBedrock } from '@minescope/mineping';

const data = await pingBedrock('mco.mineplex.com', {
    port: 19132,
    timeout: 500
});
console.log(data);
