## Description

MCStatus is a dedicated tool designed for Minecraft server administrators and enthusiasts to effortlessly monitor the status of multiplayer servers. Unlike chat or game clients, MCStatus provides quick access to vital server information such as the server's favicon, message of the day (MOTD), current and maximum player count, Minecraft version, and connected users' usernames when available.

This extension supports servers running Minecraft 1.7 and newer by leveraging the modern Server Ping protocol. Users can add, remove, and edit servers, refreshing the data manually with an intuitive interface. MCStatus is open source, encouraging contributions and improvements via its GitHub repository. Please note, MCStatus is not an official Minecraft or Mojang product and does not replace the actual Minecraft client or chat applications for gameplay purposes.
