Description
Game Server Status shows your community a clean, modern status card telling them whether your server is up right now – including player count, version, MOTD and ping. 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.

FAQ
-
Which servers are supported?
-
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.
