SlotsPlusOne

SlotsPlusOne generates a custom slots count based on your online players. Often used by big server to fake an almost full server. In simple terms, you basically add one slot to your current number of online players.

Example: 10 players online - custom number: 1 - 11 slots --> 10/11

Example: 27 players online - custom number: 5 - 32 slots -- > 27/32

You can create a min and max limit to prevent from having for example 1 slot when no one is online.

OnlineMultiplier

OnlineMultiplier generates a fake online players count by multiplying it with a number set in config!

When the multiplied number gets above your min slots, it will adjust the slots by adding a custom number to it!

When the multiplied number gets above your max slots, it will set the online player count and slots to your max value -> see config (Example 100/100)

Example (Min Slots: 100):10 players online - multiply by 5 - 50 players online/ 100 slots (50 Players < Min Slots -> Min Slots = Slots and no adjustment with the custom number)

Example (Min Slots: 10) 12 players online - multiply by 2(24 Players + 5 -> CustomNumber ( = Slots) - 24 players online/ 29 slots

Example (Max Slots: 100): 50 players online - multiply by 3 - 100 players online / 100 slots (because 150 > 100)

Metrics

ServerlistMOTD (below X!) collects anonymous data. You cann see everthing over here at bStats:

Bungeecord: bStats *click me*

Spigot/Bukkit: bStats *click me*

I switched to bStats as mcstats.org is very unreliable. You can find the Metrics for ServerlistMOTD 1.0-6.2 right here: mcstats.org (if available)

ServerlistMOTD doesn't collect Metrics!
