mcping-js v1.5.0

mcping-js

A modern JavaScript library for querying Minecraft Java Edition servers using the vanilla Server List Ping protocol.

Usage

const mcping = require('mcping-js')

// 25565 is the default Minecraft Java Edition multiplayer server port
// The port may be omitted and will default to 25565
const server = new mcping.MinecraftServer('mc.hypixel.net', 25565)

server.ping(timeout, protocolVersion, (err, res) => {
	// ...
})

protocolVersion is ever changing as Minecraft updates. See protocol version numbers for a complete and updated listing.

If successful, res will be a parsed copy of the Response packet.

Compatibility

1. This does not support Minecraft's legacy ping protocol for pre-Minecraft version 1.6 servers.
2. This does not support the Ping or Pong behavior of the Server List Ping protocol. If you wish to determine the latency of the connection do you should do so manually.
