A Minecraft server honeypot built to report mass server scanning.

MCHoneyPot works by creating realistic looking Minecraft server, faking details such as players online, server version etc. It's job is to log all attempts made to interact with the server including pings, status requests, and attempts to join. The goal is to index, report, and raise awareness of mass server scanning and how it can affect server owners.

All interactions made with the server are logged:

Additionally reports are made to https://www.abuseipdb.com/

If you would simplily like to interact with the hosted version of the bot, you can do so by joining our Discord Server where you can feel free to interact with the bot as you please.

Alternatively you can invite the bot to your own server using the following invite Once the bot is in your server run /configure in the channel where you would like the bot to output logs!

In order to run your own instance of MCHoneyPot you will need the following:

• An account and API key on https://www.abuseipdb.com/
• A fresh Discord bot token
• A MongoDB database with the following 4 collections: Pings, Joins, Servers, and Reports

To get started simpily:
