minecraft.how BOT

The minecraft.how BOT is our automation account. It helps keep the site up to date by adding and refreshing Minecraft servers, skins, blog posts, and page details. It is not a real person, and it is not connected to Mojang or Microsoft in any way.

If you have seen Googlebot or Bingbot, the idea is similar. Search engines run bots that crawl the web and collect public information so people can find it. Our bot does the same kind of work, but for Minecraft content on this site.

It works on a few things:

• Minecraft servers it finds from public sources
• Player skins from public APIs
• Blog posts and drafts about Minecraft
• Page titles, descriptions, tags, and links between pages

Some servers come from public server lists, public APIs, player submissions, or our own discovery. When a server is added, the name gets cleaned up first. For example, a connect address like menu.pixelcraft.com is shown as Pixelcraft, while the full address is kept so you can still join.

Live details like whether a server is online, how many players are on, the version, and the MOTD come from real checks when we can run them. The bot never makes up an online status and never invents player counts or uptime.

Skins and other content can come from public APIs or be created by automation. Anything the bot adds is marked as coming from the bot, so you always know where it came from. The goal is content that is actually useful, not filler.

Automated content can be incomplete or get out of date. Live numbers are only as fresh as the last check. When we are not sure about something, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

If you spot something that is wrong, out of date, duplicated, or that should not be here, please let us know. Reports really do help, and we read them.

If your server was added automatically, you can claim it and take over the listing. Once you claim it, the listing is yours, not the bot's. Until then, the bot just holds the spot.

• We keep the original imported data so we can check our work.
• Anything risky needs a person to approve it. Nothing is posted to social media on its own.
• The bot never fakes a server's status or player count.
• The bot does not claim to own anyone else's server.
