What’s it do?

Uses masscan to scan the internet for Minecraft® servers, then uses Dinnerbone’s mcstatus to grab the GameSpy3 data, cleaning up the process of doing it manually.

Tested with:

• Ubuntu - 21.10 - Impish Indri
• Kali Linux - Bleeding Edge
• masscan - robertdavidgraham/masscan@144c527
• mcstatus - Dinnerbone/mcstatus@10cea64
• mcc - ORelio/Minecraft-Console-Client@41b0325

But why?

Purely because its easier to shorten the process by making it scripted, then I just cleaned it up for public release, so other people can have fun joining random servers.

The process usually goes like this:

1. Scan ISP range.
2. See players online in a server.
3. Switch to the appropriate Minecraft® version.
4. Join the server.

Various reactions ensue, from “Hello?” to…

Connection Lost

You are banned from this server.

Don’t forget!

If you have the chance, inform the server owners that their home router (if applicable) has its port exposed to the internet, and should either close it, or use a whitelist.

Some people just forget, or don’t understand what they are doing.
