socialMeter for Minecraft
A Minecraft player counter for your desk.
How many players are on your Minecraft server right now, out of how many slots, on a small display. Just the server address.
Sample numbers. Yours appear once it is set up.

The labels below are the ones printed on the device.
- PLAYERS NOW
- Players online on the server right now. It reads 0 if the server is down.
- SLOTS
- The server's player slots (its maximum).
- No today pill
- Players online rise and fall, so the device leaves out a daily gain.
- NEXT MILESTONE
- A bar to the next round number (1, 2 or 5 followed by zeros), with how far along you are.
- Circle and dot
- The circle empties until the next check. The dot is green while the number is live, amber while it shows the last reading, red when something needs a look.
Checks: Every 60 seconds.
