Game Server Status shows your community a clean, modern status card telling them whether your server is up right now \u2013 including player count, version, MOTD and ping. No external services: the query runs directly over the game protocol (Minecraft Java & Bedrock, Steam\/Source A2S).<\/p>\n\n
Easy to use: add your server under the \"Game Server\" menu (name, address, port) \u2013 you instantly get a ready-to-use shortcode, or let it create a finished page with one click.<\/p>\n\n
[gpgss_server_status id=\"1\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nWith live updates (every 30 seconds, without reloading):<\/p>\n\n
[gpgss_server_status id=\"1\" refresh=\"30\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nOr directly by address, without saving:<\/p>\n\n
[gpgss_server_status host=\"mc.yourserver.com\" port=\"25565\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nResults are cached for 60 seconds to keep your site fast.<\/p>\n\n

\nWhich servers are supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\nMinecraft 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).<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does the plugin need an external API?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. The query runs directly over sockets (Minecraft Server List Ping, and UDP for Bedrock and Steam\/Source).<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can it show whether a whitelist is active?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. The whitelist status is not part of the server response and cannot be reliably read from the outside.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Will I be notified when my server goes down?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. 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.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is any data sent to third parties?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. The plugin only contacts the game servers YOU enter (to query their status), and \u2013 only if you enable it \u2013 your own Discord webhook for downtime notifications. There is no external service, no tracking, and no sharing of visitor data.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
