Minecraft Server

Minecraft servers allow players to play the sandbox video game Minecraft by Mojang Studios online or via a local area network with other players. The Minecraft Server integration lets you retrieve information from a Minecraft server within Home Assistant.

Minecraft Java edition servers must be version 1.7 or newer, since older versions don't expose any information.
Minecraft Bedrock edition servers are not supported yet.

  • Protocol version
  • Number of online players
    • Including player names list in the state attributes, if available (see note below).
  • Number of maximum players
