## What it is
A Python library for checking the status of Minecraft servers, including player counts and latency. This repository has moved to py-mine/mcstatus and is no longer actively developed here.

## Use cases
- check if a minecraft server is online
- get player count from a minecraft server
- monitor minecraft server status from python
- ping a minecraft server to measure latency
- query minecraft server motd and version

## When to choose
- you need to programmatically query Minecraft server status from Python
- you want a lightweight dependency for server monitoring scripts
- you are building a dashboard or bot that reports Minecraft server health

## When to avoid
- you need active development or new features - use the successor at py-mine/mcstatus
- you need a non-Python solution
- you need a full server management tool rather than status querying

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, networking
- domain: gaming-tools, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: minecraft-server, server-status, query-protocol, ping, minecraft
