mcquery

Introduction

mcquery (aka py-mcpe-query) is a Python software that uses the query protocol to ping a Minecraft: Bedrock edition server for basic information.

Note: If you get a timeout error, it might be that the target server do not support the query protocol. If that happens, you can use mcstats instead, where you can ping a server without the query protocol.

You can also specify the port with the -p option (e.g.: mcquery localhost -p 19133). For more options, please run mcquery --help.

Use as a module

You can also use the API by writing the following code in your project:

from mcquery import mcquery

host = "localhost"
port = 19132

with mcquery(host, port=port, timeout=10) as data:
    # data is a QueryServerData object
    print(data)
