XMPP Bot

27 Oct 2019: The XMPP bot has been discontinued indefinitely.

The Minecraft chat bot was built on Python 2 for XMPP instant messaging networks. Both of these technologies are, perhaps, past their prime. Support for Python 2 is slated to end on 1 Jan 2020. As of 2019, most large cloud providers have shuttered their XMPP gateways. This has left the user-base for this bot quite small. Our Minecraft bot has been discontinued for now. If there is demand for it, perhaps we'll bring it back.

You can always use the mcstatus program directly to query our Minecraft server.
