Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package php-minecraft-query

PHP Minecraft Query Packagist

This library can be used to query Minecraft servers for some basic information.

:warning: Please do not create issues when you are unable to retrieve information from a server, unless you can prove that there is a bug within the library.

Differences between Ping and Query

There are two methods of retrieving information about a Minecraft server.

Ping

Ping protocol was added in Minecraft 1.7 and is used to query the server for minimal amount of information (hostname, motd, icon, and a sample of players). This is easier to use and doesn't require extra setup on server side. It uses TCP protocol on the same port as you would connect to your server.

MinecraftPing class contains a method QueryOldPre17 which can be used to query servers on version 1.6 or older.

Query

This method uses GameSpy4 protocol, and requires enabling query listener in your server.properties like this:

enable-query=true
query.port=25565

Query allows to request a full list of servers' plugins and players, however this method is more prone to breaking, so if you don't need all this information, stick to the ping method as it's more reliable.

RCON

It is possible to send console commands to a Minecraft server remotely using the Source RCON protocol. Use PHP Source Query library for your RCON needs.

SRV DNS record

This library automatically tries to resolve SRV records. If you do not wish to do so, pass false as the fourth param in the constructor (after timeout param).

Example

If you want to get ping info from a server that uses a version older than Minecraft 1.7, then use function QueryOldPre17 instead of Query.

If the server has query enabled (enable-query), then you can use MinecraftQuery to more retrieve information about a server.

For Bedrock servers (MCPE) use ConnectBedrock function instead of Connect, then GetInfo will work.
