I wanna code a easy-to-use server (proxy) pinger for Meep! What are all the IPs though?

    Well, the title of this thread explains it all. I'd like to make a server pinger for MeepCraft coded in Batch, where, as you might have guessed, can ping the diffrent proxies, to see if you got a good or bad connection. I currentley don't feel like spoiling too much, apart from that I need the IP adresses of the proxies you connect to.

    I did make a small update on my wall, but I feel like the 4 people following me won't provide me much information, so I ask you, readers (yet again, I'm so annoying right?)

    Can someone list the MeepCraft IP's for the proxies in a reply, if possible?
    If it isn't possible, I don't want to be completeley spammed with replies. I know what you're thinking! Just no! Please!

    Meep's IP is meepcraft.com
    There is a number IP, but I'm 99.9% sure Onis has said it wasn't public, to never use it, never give it out.
    (If I understood this right.)

    All right, thank you! I haven't been a member here for a long while, but it's understandable if they don't feel like giving the adresses out to public.

    Thank you for the reply! However I saw the other messages, so I don't wanna mess with the IP adress at all. Not even for these silly projects.

    But thank you for the extra knowledge ;)

    That IP doesn't work he didn't use :25565.
    Run the command
    Code:
    nslookup meepcraft.com:25565
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name:    meepcraft.com:25565
    Address: 198.105.254.228
    Name:    meepcraft.com:25565
    Address: 198.105.244.228
    
    There's your answer. @Coelho how do you feel about this?

    What do you mean "messing with the IP address"?
    When youre connecting to meepcraft with meepcraft.com, you are messing with an ip address. Meepcraft.com is just there to mask it and so people can remember it. I'm not sure why Onis would say that. Unless he was talking about something else.

    You are simply pinging Meepcraft - the equivalent of pressing the "Refresh" button while Meepcraft is in your server list.

    I think at one time MeepCraft used to be hidden behind CloudFlare servers for DDoS protection, so pinging the domain name might not be as accurate as it sounds. Also, I don't know if Meep is still using LilyPad (or BungeeCord) for world-hopping, but that might cause some issues as well when determine exactly which servers are up. I would assume that Meep is either running on several different machines or different VM instances (if they're hosting with a proprietary service).

    If you really want to use batch coding, I might consider something other than ping. The best way to see whether or not MeepCraft is alive or not is actually probably by checking port 25565 (the standard Minecraft port) directly through the domain name, rather than trying to guess the IP address. The server admins might be more appreciative of this anyways. This should solve issues with false positives that will occur if the server machine is running but the server software is down. However, this still won't solve all of your issues if the majority of MeepCraft is sitting behind a load-balancer or world-switching portal.

    EDIT: Just re-read some previous posts that seemed to infer the whole ports-thing. Something about "great minds thinking alike" or something, mumble mumble...
