MinerBuddyServer

RESTfull server to allow remote clients to query Bukkit server data and trigger preset commands.

MineBuddyServer

MinerBuddy Server is a RESTfull server implementation to allow remote clients to query Bukkit server data as JSON and trigger pre-set commands.

In simpler terms it lets you get JSON data that you can use in your own scripts, or remotely trigger commands, for example in an attached forum/website.

For example this URL: http://yourmcserver.tld:25569/players/ Might return:

{"Players": ["sablednah","lordsable"] }

and : http://127.0.0.1:25569/player/sablednah Might return:

{
"DisplayName": "sablednah",

"GameMode": "SURVIVAL",
"Blocking": false,
"Sneaking": false,
"Sprinting": false,
"Sleeping": false,
"SleepingIgnored": true,
"Dead": false,
"Health": "34.0",
"MaxHealth": "71.0",
"Exhaustion": "1.4372691",
"Saturation": "0.0",
"FoodLevel": "20",
"RemainingAir": "300",

"CompassDistance": 1433.6247953912032
}

You can also configure commands to be run in the console on a web request, passing parameters. For example: http://127.0.0.1:25569/command/approve/sablednah/1f8b2e114a6a90f106dd04f3ed711a5c62b32a47f36fafc1afd0a4f54e77efe4 can be mapped to this config to approve a new member.

    approve:
        args: 1
        console: permissions player setgroup %1 Member
        password: imagicraft

And this could be used to ban a player: http://127.0.0.1:25569/command/ban/sablednah/Banned+for+griefing/e6b8772430ae3a98e9ee24e377de2f8678ff51d602571cd9f32487b489972326

    ban:
        args: 2
        console: ban %1 %2
        password: imagicraft

Config

Example/Default Config

debugMode: true

commands:
    approve:
        args: 1
        console: permissions player setgroup %1 Member
        password: imagicraft
    kick:
        args: 2
        console: kick %1 %2
        password: imagicraft
    ban:
        args: 2
        console: ban %1 %2
        password: imagicraft

Details

debug: [true|false] Enable debug mode for detailed errors.

commands: A list of commands that can be triggered by server requests. Consisting of: args: [integer] number of arguments to require in the request. console: [string] The command to run from the console = use %1 for argument 1, %2 for argument 2 and so on. password: [string] the password required to use this command. See the notes below.

Example usage

Here's an example PHP snippet

<?php
$serverip = "127.0.0.1";
$portnum  = "25569";
$command  = "approve";
$pwd      = "imagicraft";

$username = $_POST["username"]

$salted   = utf8_encode($pwd . $command);
$hash     = hash("sha256",$salted);

$url      = "http://" . $serverip . ":" . $portnum . "/command/" . $command . "/" . $username . "/" . $hash; 
$result   = file_get_contents ( $url );
?>

You could build such a script into your forum sign up page to move registered players into a different group for permissions.

Note the password structure. The password is always added at the end of the request, and consists of a sha256 hash of the password in configuration added to the command name.

Commands

/MinerBuddyHealth reload Reload settings from config.yml

Permissions

None. (Yet.)
