IP Geolocation

All servers now have geographic location data available, allowing you to view their geographic info as well as ASN Org name. This will later allow you to search for servers based on their geographic location, but for now you can view it in the server details panel.

Bedrock Support

We have internally improved the Bedrock support, grabbing some fields we first missed (like record.bedrock.modeNumeric). While we currently have no servers tracked with modeNumeric, expect them to be live by the end of next week.

API Sort

The public API no longer requires you to specify the sort field, as it will now default to sorting by timestamp. You can still specify the sort field if you want to sort by a different field, but it's no longer necessary.

Server Icon Search

Clicking a server icon in the search results now opens a modal with the full-size icon. This helps you easily query servers that span multiple IP addresses. Additionally, you may also search for servers by their icon hash, althought it may be less intuitive.

• record.favicon.hash="569e8c4f"

  Select all servers where favicon SHA1 hash equals "569e8c4f"

• record.favicon.hash="%"

  Select all servers with a favicon

You can check it out on the search page.

UI Updates

Removed the annoying scroll feature on desktop in favour of a sticky server details panel.

Bedrock Dataset + Scanning

Today marks the first release of the Bedrock dataset, which includes over 33k Bedrock servers. You can now search for Bedrock servers using the filter in the sidebar.

You can check it out on the search page.

Depth Scan

We have temporarily suspended the depth scan feature due to some issues with the API. We are working on a fix and will re-enable it in the future. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Modern Query Search

Query search has been completely revamped to support a more modern and flexible syntax. You can now use SQL-Like operators such as =, LIKE, !=, AND, CONTAINS, and more. Here are some examples of the new query syntax:

• record.hostname="103.1.215.33"

  Select all servers where hostname equals "103.1.215.33"

• record.motd="%hypixel%"

  Select all servers where MOTD contains "hypixel"

For more information on the new query syntax, check out the documentation.

Datasets

Datasets are now hosted on datasets.mcscans.fi for better performance. In addition, the datasets page has been updated to automatically fetch the latest datasets from the new endpoint.
You can also still download the datasets hosted on 0xacab / gitlab.

Automated Scans

Scans are now automatically scheduled to run every 3 days, taking around ~12 hours to complete. You can view the status of scans by joining the Discord server and checking the #scan-status channel.

Depth Server Scan

You can now test the status of a server real-time by using the More Info button in the server preview panel. Keep in mind at the moment we only support the Offline auth mode. The data we collect includes:

• Server Brand
• Client Gamemode
• Player List + Player Gamemode
• Server Brand (may be more reliable than ping)
• Available Worlds
• ... and more, check it out yourself!

Auth Mode

Our crawlers now support an authentication mode, allowing filtering of scans based on authentication mode - Online, Offline, or Whitelisted.

Public API

Added a public API to access scan data, allowing developers to integrate MCScans data into their applications and services. Find out more here.

Documentation

Added a Documentation section to the site, providing detailed information on various aspects of the site.

UI Updates

Updated a lot of broken links and improved the overall user interface for better navigation and usability.

Historical Records

Scans that are no longer picked up by the server will now be archived automatically, while still being accessible through the API and site.

Data Sorting

Sort either by player count (ping), or protocol version (both ascending).

UI Updates

Enhanced user interface with improved mobile support as well as improved UI components.

Search Query Page

Resolved an issue where the current page number was not being updated correctly when navigating through search results, ensuring accurate pagination.

Site Release

Launched the initial version of MCScans with basic features including scan results and basic search functionality.
