Server
Information
FastStats is a metrics service used by Minecraft plugin and mod developers to understand how their projects are used in the real world. As a server administrator, you do not integrate with FastStats directly. Instead, FastStats may be included in plugins or mods that you choose to install on your server.
FastStats helps plugin and mod developers answer questions such as:
- How many servers are using a plugin
- How many players are affected overall
- Which server software and versions are commonly used
This information allows developers to:
- Prioritize bug fixes and compatibility
- Decide which platforms and versions to support
- Measure general adoption of their projects
FastStats is not used for advertising, tracking individual servers, or identifying players.
When a plugin or mod includes FastStats, the following information is collected by default:
- Server software name (e.g. Spigot, Paper, Folia)
- Server software version
- Online / offline mode status
- Current player count
- Plugin or mod name
- Plugin or mod version
- Server ID (randomly generated)
- CPU core count
- Operating system name
- Operating system version
- Operating system architecture
- Java version
All listed data points are always collected together. There is no option to selectively disable individual values.
FastStats is designed to avoid collecting personal or identifying data. Specifically:
- No IP addressesAll requests are proxied. FastStats never receives or stores your server's IP address. Only an approximate country is inferred by Cloudflare.
- No player dataNo usernames, UUIDs, or other player identifiers are collected.
- No server fingerprintingFastStats does not attempt to uniquely fingerprint or track servers across reinstalls.
- No personal dataData that could reasonably identify a person or make a server uniquely traceable is not collected.
The server ID used by FastStats is internal, randomly generated, and not publicly derivable.
All data sent to FastStats is handled in an anonymous and aggregated manner.
While FastStats uses a server ID internally to prevent duplicate counting, this identifier:
- Can be regenerated by the administrator
- Is not exposed publicly
- Cannot be used to identify your server by third parties
FastStats does not sell or share collected data with external parties.
Enabling FastStats has no noticeable performance impact on your server. Metrics are lightweight and sent at low frequency.
As a server administrator, you are always in control.
You can:
- Disable metrics collection entirely
- Re-roll (regenerate) your server ID
Metrics collection is enabled by default, but:
- No data is transmitted unless a plugin explicitly includes FastStats
- Plugin developers must opt in by integrating FastStats into their plugin
- Administrators may opt out at any time
If you believe a plugin or mod is misusing FastStats, please report it.
Examples of abuse include:
- Ignoring or bypassing the metrics enabled option
- Sending metrics after an administrator opted out
- Artificially inflating statistics
- Collecting personal data
- Violating FastStats' Terms of Service
