node-mc-api

Mojang API wrapper for Node.

Changelog

General usage

To use the API, just require this module.

All functions are asynchronous, meaning they will immediately return promises. The "returns" value indicates the value which the promise will be resolved with.

Minecraft protocol functions

`API.pingServer(host, options)`

Parameters:

host: String, the hostname of the server (domain or IP)
options: Optional: Object with these fields:
- port: Port the server is to be pinged on. By default, 25565.
- timeout: Milliseconds of inactivity before the connection is automatically terminated. By default, 5000 ms.

Returns: Information about the server.

Example response:

{
    version: {name: String, protocol: Number},
    players: {max: Number, online: Number},
    description: {text: String},
    favicon: String
}

Notes

protocol is a protocol version number
favicon is a image data URL.
Servers could potentially send any JSON as a response. This wrapper does not verify that the fields you are interested in will be present.

`API.legacyPing(host, options)`

Parameters

Identical to API.pingServer()

Returns: Information about the server.

Example response:

{
    version: {name: String, protocol: Number},
    description: {text: String},
    players: {online: Number, max: Number}
}

Notes:

This protocol was used in Minecraft 1.6 and all other versions prior to the Netty rewrite. It is not supported on many modern servers, use at your own risk.
The data returned through this method is limited (no favicon, other things may be missing)

Mojang API

`API.getAPIStatus()`

Parameters: None

Returns: An object mapping the name of each Mojang service to a number indicating its health. The meaning of that number is determined by the API.APIStatus constant.

const APIStatus = {
    NO_ISSUES: 0,
    SOME_ISSUES: 1,
    UNAVAILABLE: 2
};

Example response:

[
    {service: 'minecraft.net', status: 0},
    {service: 'session.minecraft.net', status: 0},
    {service: 'account.mojang.com', status: 0},
    {service: 'authserver.mojang.com', status: 0},
    {service: 'sessionserver.mojang.com', status: 2},
    {service: 'api.mojang.com', status: 0},
    {service: 'textures.minecraft.net', status: 0},
    {service: 'mojang.com', status: 0}
]

`API.getNameHistory(uuid)`

Parameters:

uuid: String, the UUID of the player

Returns: The name history for that player

Example response:

[
    {name: "currentname"},
    {name: "pastname1", changedToAt: <timestamp...>},
    {name: "pastname2", changedToAt: <timestamp...>}
]

`API.getProfile(playerName)`

Parameters:

playerName: String, the name of the player

Returns: The profile of that player

Example response:

{
    uuid: 'dd59a2b9083e49dca6c24c7b7997dce8',
    legacy: false,
    demo: false
}

`API.getProfiles(playerNames)`

Parameters:

playerNames: Array, list of player names

Returns: An object mapping each name to a profile

Example response:

{
    peihl: {
        uuid: 'eda45f9b5dc945858fbbedf695cb28b3',
        legacy: false,
        demo: false
    },
    _ewww_: {
        uuid: '701d185eb54c40a2acff363ce78512c0',
        legacy: false,
        demo: false
    }
}

This API can retrieve up to 10 profiles in a single request. Use this if you need to look up several profiles in bulk as it can help you avoid ratelimiting.

`API.getSkins(uuid)`

Parameters:

uuid: String, the UUID of the player

Returns: The URLs of the player's skin and cape.

Example response:

{
    skinURL: 'http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/cd4a2f2f3824e323be244ffe86c9b26bc81bc9194099f370a92af1b40cec3d58',
    slim: false,
    capeURL: undefined
}

capeURL may be undefined if the player does not have a cape. slim indicates whether the player's skin is "slim" (3-pixel arms) or wide (4-pixel arms).

`MojangClient`

APIs that require authentication are accessed through instances of MojangClient.

When an API call fails an error is thrown.

Constructor

MojangClient() - nothing to say here

Properties

MojangClient.clientToken: The client token returned by Yggdrasil

MojangClient.accessToken: The JWT access token returned by Yggdrasil

MojangClient.tokenInfo: The actual contents of the returned access token

iat: The timestamp at which the token was issued
exp: The timestamp at which the token expires

MojangClient.profile:

id: The player's UUID
name: The player's username

Demo accounts will not have a .profile property. It is the caller's responsibility to verify that the user is not a demo account before calling API methods that require a full account. Anything that involves usernames or skins (anything that is associated with UUIDs) cannot be done with a demo account.

Methods

`MojangClient.login(username, password)`

Parameters:

username: String - the account email or username for unmigrated accounts.
password: String - the password.

Obtains an access token from the Mojang servers. A call to this method must have succeeded at least once to access any of the other APIs included under MojangClient.

Returns a Promise that resolves to undefined when an access token is obtained.

`MojangClient.signout()`

Parameters: None

Invalidates the current access token.

Returns a Promise that resolves to undefined when the access token is invalidated.

`MojangClient.resetSkin()`

Parameters: None

Resets the player's skin to the default one.

Returns a Promise that resolves to undefined when the skin is reset.

`MojangClient.uploadSkin(imageData, slim)`

Parameters:

imageData: Buffer - the skin data (should be a PNG)
slim: Boolean - true if the skin has 3-pixel wide arms, false if the skin has 4-pixel wide arms

Uploads and changes the player's skin.

Returns a Promise that resolves to undefined when the skin is uploaded.

`MojangClient.checkNameAvailable(name)`

Parameters:

name: String - the name to check

Returns a Promise that resolves to true if the name is available and false if not. This method will also indicate if a name is blocked by Mojang, e.g. if the name includes profanity.
