Package: djangocms-minecraft
This is a simple set of plugins intended for use with Django-CMS, designed to aid in retrieving data from the servers.
Much of this code comes from Dinnerbone’s amazing source (..thank you dude!) that he has graciously left as “fully open”.See the plugins in actionhere!Protocoldocumentationis available as well, thanks to Dinnerbone.IMPORTANT CHANGES from 0.0.1In 0.0.1 there was an issue with the plugin regarding socket timeout - this has been fixed in 0.1.0 - as well as quite a
few other additions and changes.  However, these changes also resulted in requiring your plugins to be reconfigured in
edit mode after you have migrated the changes into your project from the update. Until you do this, they will be blank.INSTALLATIONInstall with pip:pip installdjangocms-minecraftOr, optionally, install the development version:pip installgit+https://git@bitbucket.org/oddotterco/djangocms-minecraft.git#egg=djangocms-minecraftThen, in your project’s settings.py file, add ‘djangocms_minecraft’ to the INSTALLED_APPS like so:INSTALLED_APPS +=('djangocms_minecraft',)Finally, perform syncdb and migrate on your project, as well as collectstatic to get all the supplied css and images
for this plugin.A note on CACHEingIt is recommended that you configure caching on your server when using this plugin (and in general, really).  It really
is not too complicated to set up basic caching.  The following is avery basicconfig example, just add it to your
settings.py project file to use your existing database backend as a cache server as well.:# Enable plugin and content caching
# Don't forget to: ./manage.py createcachetable cache_data
CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.db.DatabaseCache',
        'LOCATION': 'cache_data',
    },
}Minecraft Server ConfigDon’t forget to make sure that your web server has access to the ports that your Minecraft server is going to be
answering these queries on.  Typically this will be the same as the Minecraft game port (which is default 25565) for the
status, query and plugins-list plugins.  For the RCON plugins, make sure that port (default is usually 25575) is open to
the web server from the game server as well.  Also, for all but the basic status plugin, you will need to configure the
inecraft server to enable those services.  Query and RCON are both off by default ().  Look for details in the
inecraftServer.propertieswiki entry.USAGESimply add the plugins to pages as desired. They will show up in both a text plugin’s plugins-list as well as the
page plugins-list, under the header “Minecraft”.Also included, for your use, is the commandline client provided by Dinnerbone. To use it, simply issue the commandmcqueryand help-text will guide you.  Typical usage might bemcquery my_minecraft.server.net.  Keep in mind that
the Minecraft server port needs to be accessible by the client issuing the command,andfor the full query response,
you will also need to enable query mode on your Minecraft server.SUPPORTIf you have questions or ideas, or encounter bugs, add an entry to ourissue tracker.LICENSEPublic domain - do what you will with this code.
