Snippet: Minecraft player counter in VC

Minecraft player counter in VC

Lars — CreeperTown

This snippet will update a voice channel frequently with the amount of people that are playing on your Minecraft server. Make sure you do not set it to update more frequently than every 6 minutes, otherwise it will get rate limited by Discord.

const lib = require('lib')({token: process.env.STDLIB_SECRET_TOKEN});

// get data about server
let serverdata = await lib.http.request['@1.1.6'].get({
  url: `https://mcapi.xdefcon.com/server/${process.env.serverIP}/full/json`,
});

// get data about what was the latest change - helps a lot against rate limiting
let serverupdated = await lib.utils.kv['@0.1.16'].get({
  key: `lastserverchange`,
});

// log data about server
console.log(`Statuscode: ${serverdata.statusCode}`);
console.log(serverdata.data);

// set online status
let serverstatus = serverdata.data.serverStatus;

// update VC accordingly

  // set VC when server is offline
  if (serverstatus == `offline`) {
    if (serverupdated !== `offline`) {
      await lib.discord.channels['@0.3.0'].update({
        channel_id: process.env.channelID,
        name: `Server offline`,
      });
