Show the live status of your game server: a status message updated every minute with players, ping, uptime and a 24-hour graph, alerts when it goes down or comes back, a player counter in a channel name, and up to 3 status bots in your member list whose name shows the live status.

How it works#

  • Supported: Minecraft Java & Bedrock, FiveM/RedM (paste your cfx.re/join link) and Steam games (Rust, CS2, ARK, Valheim, Palworld…).
  • Maintenance mode shows 🟠 everywhere during restarts; a server name containing maintenance switches automatically.
  • Status bots are separate small bots you add once; each can show one server.
