Minecraft Server Status
Ping any Minecraft server for its MOTD, players, and version
Point it at a server host and it pings live for online status, player counts, MOTD, version, and icon. Supports both Java and Bedrock servers, with per-host caching so repeat lookups stay quick. No key, JSON out, and CORS wide open.
