Response

How to handle the returned response object

# The server address and port
host = res.host
port = host.port

motd = res.motd

online_players = res.players.online
max_players = res.players.max
player_list = res.players.list

version = res.version.name
protocol_version = res.version.protocol

# only for query responses
plugins = res.plugins

# only for basic ServerListPing
has_favicon = res.favicon

# only for query and Bedrock
gametype = res.gametype

# only for query and bedrock
map = res.map

# only for bedrock
server_id = res.server_id

# timestamp of the request
timestamp = res.timestamp

# the reponse as a dictonary with some further infomation
# the keys are named like the values in the response object
res_dictionary = res.res
