#Minecraft Live Player List
##About:
Minecraft Live Player List allows you host a website that displays currently active players as well as players that recently went offline. The web-interface always stays up to date and plays a sound as soon as a player joins your server. The online player count is mirrored as a badge in the favicon.
You can check out a live version here.
The goal is to encourage a small player base to play together. Unlike most Minecraft server dependent web-sites, this one works with vanilla Minecraft and doesn’t require you to install any mods on your server as all the required data is gathered from protocols and files that are provided by the game.
The current version works with Minecraft 1.8.X and is not likely to break with future updates.
##Usage:
- The script needs to run on the same system that runs your Minecraft server.
- Be sure to have enable-query set to true in your Minecraft server.properties.
- The script will need to access usercache.json and the /playerdata folder inside your Minecraft world folder, so make sure it’s readable.
- Upload all the files.
- Adjust the settings in settings.php.
- Replace favicon.ico and server-icon.png with graphics that suit your server. If you’re a fan of pixelated sausage icons, you can skip this step.
- You’re done! You can now access index.php and check if everything’s working correctly.
##Disclaimer:
I developed this as a simple learning project and never planned to release this when I started with it. In its evolution, the code has undergone many changes and became dirty, redundant and probably has some unused variables.
