Dynamic server list

[MirceaKitsune]

I was wondering if anyone maintains a dynamic list with all the servers out there. I don't mean a blog post where someone mentions the servers they know of, but a scripted list updated in realtime listing all available servers online at that moment (I assume each would have to register their IP to the system). Things that should be listed are the server name, the game running on that server, the mods installed on it, the number of players online at that moment, and of course the server URL.

I suspect MineTest would need new code for the server to send information to web pages. But, a lua script might already be able to do that, if lua is allowed to communicate external data to another web resource (which isn't a MineTest server). If so, someone could make a mod for this purpose. A script would send the server name, mod list and player count to a website every X second, which could use a PHP script to generate a list. If a server doesn't send any more updates for X seconds it's assumed to have been shut down and disappears from that list.

Is this already possible somehow? If not could someone create such a mod and maybe make an official server list system on minetest.net if the website owner is ok with it? (dunno if c55 is hosting the site himself)

Under servers, First sticky post, Minetest servers monitoring service looks like what you ask,

That's pretty close to what I'm looking for, thanks. It doesn't show the game, mods, and number of connected players however. But I guess that's the best that exists at this day, hope it will be improved.
