Question 1

What is the best bStats alternative?

Accepted Answer

FastStats is built for Minecraft and Hytale developers who need more than preset bStats charts. You keep player and server counts, and gain custom dashboards, download analytics, error tracking, and retention metrics in one platform.

Question 2

Is FastStats better than bStats?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you need. bStats is lightweight and widely adopted for basic usage stats. FastStats is the better fit when you want custom dashboards, download tracking, error monitoring, or retention analysis alongside your in-game metrics.

Question 3

Can I use FastStats alongside bStats?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add the FastStats SDK next to your existing bStats dependency, ship an update, and run both until you have validated the data. Many projects keep bStats during the transition.

Question 4

Does FastStats replace bStats?

Accepted Answer

FastStats covers the core bStats use case: player counts, server totals, and custom metrics. It also adds dashboards, downloads, errors, and retention. You can treat it as a full replacement or run both in parallel.
