External services
This plugin is developed and maintained by MrDino (https://mrdino.es).
All live status and avatar features are powered by the external services listed below.
Your WordPress site does not send any data to mrdino.es beyond the normal plugin links and metadata.
This plugin connects to two external services to display live Minecraft data and player avatars.
mcsrvstat.us API
This service is used to fetch live status information (online state, players, MOTD, version, ping, etc.) and an optional banner image for the Minecraft server you configure in the plugin settings.
* What data is sent: the server address (host and port) that you enter in the plugin settings.
* When data is sent: whenever the status or player list shortcodes are loaded on a page, or when they refresh via AJAX in the background.
* Service website and API documentation: https://mcsrvstat.us/ (API at https://api.mcsrvstat.us/)
* Legal / privacy: please refer to the legal information and privacy details linked from their website.
MCHeads (mc-heads.net)
This service is used to generate square avatar images (“heads”) for Minecraft players based on their in-game name.
* What data is sent: the Minecraft player name(s) reported by your server (no WordPress user data is sent).
* When data is sent: when the player list is displayed and an avatar image needs to be shown for an online player.
* Service website: https://mc-heads.net/
* Terms of use: https://minecraft-heads.com/terms-of-use
* Privacy policy: https://minecraft-heads.com/privacy-policy
