Understanding the Minecraft server scanning project

— Servers indexed

— Last scan

popiiumaa is a Minecraft account used by a Open source Minecraft server scanning project. If you saw this username in your server logs, this page explains what happened and how to request removal if desired.

Quick Summary

What it does: Reads public Minecraft server responses
What it does NOT do: No gameplay join, no chat, no exploits
How it works: Status request + minimal protocol probe
Opt-out: Server owners can request IP removal via Discord

What the Scanner Is

As of January 2026, this project uses a custom Minecraft protocol scanner.

It performs a standard server status request to read publicly available information such as server version, MOTD, and player counts.

Then a minimal login-start probe is sent to observe how the server responds in order to determine whether it appears to be running in online mode, offline mode, or whitelist mode.

No real player session is established and the connection is closed immediately after the response is received.

Behavior in Server Logs

Opens a short TCP connection
Sends a Minecraft status request
Sends a minimal login-start packet
Disconnects immediately

If your logs show a brief connection from popiiumaa, this is expected scanner behavior.

Data Storage

The bot stores server IPs in this API:

https://mcapi.shit.vc/docs/

This is used for data collection and analysis purposes. If you want your IP removed, see the opt-out section below.

What it Does NOT Do

No world interaction or gameplay
No authentication or account login
No exploit or vulnerability scanning
No chat messages or advertising
No password guessing or brute force

This project is intended strictly for server status scanning.

IP Removal / Opt-Out

If you own or manage a server and want your IP removed from the scanner:

Join the Discord: discord.gg/AYbDNEWgHE
Open a removal request ticket
Provide your server IP and proof of ownership

All removal requests are respected and handled as quickly as possible.

FAQ

Why did it connect to my server?
The scanner periodically checks public servers to keep data accurate. The connection is brief and closes immediately.

Is this hacking?
No. Only standard Minecraft protocol requests are used.

How can I block it?
You may block the account locally or request opt-out via Discord.
