List the player usernames that have signed to a Minecraft server lately

Project description

Minecraft Server Player List

Quick script that generates a list of recent players on your server, sorted in order of who last logged in. Works by looking at the last modified time of their player.dat files in <server root>/world/playerdata, and resolving those UUIDs to a playername using Mojang's API.

Caching

Optionally, you can write out the usernames to a cache file (to prevent API rate limiting) using the --cache-file option. Usernames will only be looked up again after 120s.

Usage

$ mc_players -h
usage: mc_players [-h] [--out OUT] [--cache-file CACHE_FILE] [--cache-expiry CACHE_EXPIRY] [--html] [-n N] [--servername SERVERNAME] worldpath

Generate a list of recent players on a minecraft server.

positional arguments:
  worldpath             Path to the world folder to scan (eg <server_root>/world)

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --out OUT             Path to output file, defaults to stdout
  --cache-file CACHE_FILE
                        Path to cache file (created if not exists) to prevent rate limiting
  --cache-expiry CACHE_EXPIRY
                        Look up usernames that haven't been looked up in n seconds
  --html
  -n N                  Only return the last n usernames, default all
  --servername SERVERNAME
                        Server name for use in output
