### Query Java Edition (1.7+) Servers

Source: https://mcstatus.readthedocs.io/

Use JavaServer to retrieve status, latency, and query information. Note that query must be enabled in the server's server.properties file.

```python
from mcstatus import JavaServer

# You can pass the same address you'd enter into the address field in minecraft into the 'lookup' function
# If you know the host and port, you may skip this and use JavaServer("example.org", 1234)
server = JavaServer.lookup("example.org:1234")

# 'status' is supported by all Minecraft servers that are version 1.7 or higher.
# Don't expect the player list to always be complete, because many servers run
# plugins that hide this information or limit the number of players returned or even
# alter this list to contain fake players for purposes of having a custom message here.
status = server.status()
print(f"The server has {status.players.online} player(s) online and replied in {status.latency} ms")

# 'ping' is supported by all Minecraft servers that are version 1.7 or higher.
# It is included in a 'status' call, but is also exposed separate if you do not require the additional info.
latency = server.ping()
print(f"The server replied in {latency} ms")

# 'query' has to be enabled in a server's server.properties file!
# It may give more information than a ping, such as a full player list or mod information.
query = server.query()
print(f"The server has the following players online: {', '.join(query.players.names)}")
```

### Query Bedrock Edition Servers

Source: https://mcstatus.readthedocs.io/

Use BedrockServer to retrieve status information for Bedrock edition servers.

```python
from mcstatus import BedrockServer

# You can pass the same address you'd enter into the address field in minecraft into the 'lookup' function
# If you know the host and port, you may skip this and use BedrockServer("example.org", 19132)
server = BedrockServer.lookup("example.org:19132")

# 'status' is the only feature that is supported by Bedrock at this time.
# In this case status includes players.online, latency, motd, map, gamemode, and players.max. (ex: status.gamemode)
status = server.status()
print(f"The server has {status.players.online} players online and replied in {status.latency} ms")
```

### Query Legacy Java Edition (Beta 1.8-1.6) Servers

Source: https://mcstatus.readthedocs.io/

Use LegacyServer to retrieve status information for older Minecraft Java Edition servers.

```python
from mcstatus import LegacyServer

# You can pass the same address you'd enter into the address field in minecraft into the 'lookup' function
# If you know the host and port, you may skip this and use LegacyServer("example.org", 1234)
server = LegacyServer.lookup("example.org:1234")

# 'status' is supported by all Minecraft servers.
status = server.status()
print(f"The server has {status.players.online} player(s) online and replied in {status.latency} ms")
```
