Minecraft Plugin

This plugin uses the RCON protocol to collect statistics from a scoreboard on a Minecraft server.

To enable RCON on the minecraft server, add this to your server configuration in the server.properties file:

enable-rcon=true
rcon.password=<your password>
rcon.port=<1-65535>

To create a new scoreboard objective called jump on a minecraft server tracking the stat.jump criteria, run this command in the Minecraft console:

/scoreboard objectives add jump stat.jump

Stats are collected with the following RCON command, issued by the plugin:

/scoreboard players list *

Configuration:

[[inputs.minecraft]]
   # server address for minecraft
   server = "localhost"
   # port for RCON
   port = "25575"
   # password RCON for mincraft server
   password = "replace_me"
