I think this tool has a different purpose overall and won't get into this kind of specific checkups. You can check already check if a server is online and such by doing a port or ping check, it's enough for 99% of use cases.

Yes @lexmozli is right, that's a bit out of scope for this project. You can also try to create a TCP Port Check on Port 25565 to just monitor the specific MC Server.

So creative, but I agree this is out of scope.

Checking player count may be out of scope, but it does make sense to add minecraft healthcheck, because it doesn't work properly with TCP check. My server is offline, but uptime-kuma doesn't detect it

I am not asking for anything Fancy. But a guide on best practices to monitor a Minecraft service would be great. I'm still learning and the "ping" "monitor" seems to be erratic. Googling and found this for best practices.

Again, don't do anything different, just help me find best practices with existing setup. Maybe this is elementary and I just don't know. Sorry/thanks.

In 1.20.1, you can monitor Minecraft with GameDig monitor type.

A bit late, but the reason is that Minecraft doesn't use the TCP protocol.

This is not entirely true, Minecraft Java Edition uses tcp (source), but Bedrock Edition uses udp (source)

I don't know how "best practice" it is, but this came up high in Google for me too so sharing here: I was able to setup a "GameDig" monitor and point it to port 19132 (UDP) on my Minecraft Bedrock Edition server and it seems happy enough with it so far.
