McDesktopInfo
With McDesktopInfo you can show information about your server live on your desktop. This package includes a bukkit server plugin and a Windows Sidebar gadget (The sidebar is only available in Windows Vista and 7). The plugin, once started, opens up a socket on a configurable port, that is used to exchange data with the gadget. When the socket gets a query to do something from the gadget it automatically processes this query by getting the queried data from the server and sending it back to the gadget.
Features
- Leightweight plugin that uses a socket to exchange data with the gadget
- Configurable Windows Sidebar gadget with multiple backgrounds
- Secure: No HTTP requests to the socket are able to get behind the plugin
- Use special admin functions directly from your desktop using a password system
- Kick players via the gadget
Features
- Servername
- Current / Max players
- Plugin version
- Craftbukkit version
- Playerlist
- Kicking players
- Used / total RAM
- Tickrate
- Chat history
I will NOT implement any queries that would harm the server in any way.
Instructions
TODO
- Gadget design overhaul
- Send chat messages from gadget
- Planned queries: CPU load, uptime (Feel free to suggest even more via Forum/Comments/PM)

Posted Feb 5, 2015I don't seem to be getting anything on the gadget. I installed the plugin on my server, and it does work there (I can go mcdi help, etc). I have set the gadget to listen on the public IP that works for players just fine, and on port 6868. I was a bit confused as to the password, right now I've got the one that I use to login to my WebUI for the server, although I have tried numerous others with no result. I have gone /mcdi setPassword [password] , and it responded that is was done sucessfully, but still no luck. I also restarted the server after I changed the password.
I am running Bukkit 1.8.1

Posted Jun 16, 2014Wow, this plugin is amazing. Thanks a lot for making it.
I recommend to make us able to re-size the gadget so we make it bigger and add more features. Also please add live-chat, the chat history doesn't refresh automatically.

Posted Jun 4, 2014Hello people!
I'm alive and kicking. I just finished my last test for A-Levels and decided to pick this project back up again. Because I've been inactive for so long, there's some maintenance to do, which will be the main purpose of the next update. Currently I am rewriting the communication between gadget and server to use JSON, a great format, which I sadly ignored before. Aside from that I need to look into the issue with RAM and tickrate display not working for people. Stay tuned folks, the update should be ready in a day or two!

Enable Gadget support in Windows 8 and you probably could.

Posted Apr 16, 2013Feature Request: Only show vanished players in Player List if Admin pwd is supplied.
The player list shows all players, even those who are hidden/vanished via plugins like VanishNoPacket. I don't want regular pleyers who run your plugin to see vanished players. Only people with the Admin pwd should be able to see them.

Then you probably did something wrong. Have you set the correct port in the gadget and do you see messages in the serverlog that mcdi was enabled?
