No external services: the query runs directly over the game protocol (Minecraft Java & Bedrock, Steam/Source A2S). Easy to use: add your server under the “Game Server” menu (name, address, port) – you instantly get a ready-to-use shortcode, or let it create a finished page with one click. ``` [gpgss_server_status id="1"] ``` With live updates (every 30 seconds, without reloading): ``` [gpgss_server_status id="1" refresh="30"] ``` Or directly by address, without saving: ``` [gpgss_server_status host="mc.yourserver.com" port="25565"] ``` Results are cached for 60 seconds to keep your site fast. #### What’s on board * Minecraft Java & Bedrock, Steam/Source (CS2, Rust, ARK, Valheim, GMod, 7DTD, TF2 …) * Server icon, “Copy address” & “Join” (steam://connect) * Player list, live auto-refresh, server grid * Player history (24h) & uptime display * Gutenberg block, design options (5 card styles, theme/color/width) * Downtime alerts via email & Discord #### Planned * Rank/perk sales with in-game delivery The plugin is fully translatable and ready for community translations via translate. wordpress.org. ## Screenshots [⌊The status card on your website – with server icon, player count, version, ping and player list.⌉⌊The status card on your website – with server icon, player count, version, ping and player list.⌉[ The status card on your website – with server icon, player count, version, ping and player list.

Minecraft Java, Minecraft Bedrock, and Steam/Source games via A2S: Counter-Strike 2, Rust, ARK, Valheim, Garry’s Mod, 7 Days to Die, Team Fortress 2 and more. For Source games, use the query port (not always the game port). ### Does the plugin need an external API? No. The query runs directly over sockets (Minecraft Server List Ping, and UDP for Bedrock and Steam/Source). ### Can it show whether a whitelist is active? No. The whitelist status is not part of the server response and cannot be reliably read from the outside. ### Will I be notified when my server goes down? Yes. Under “Game Server > Alerts” you can enable email and/or a Discord webhook. The plugin checks every 5 minutes and reports downtime as well as recovery. ### Is any data sent to third parties? No. The plugin only contacts the game servers YOU enter (to query their status), and – only if you enable it – your own Discord webhook for downtime notifications. There is no external service, no tracking, and no sharing of visitor data. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Gaming-Plus Game Server Status” is open source software.
