hello, I have a bedrock server running on my old laptop using Debian CasaOS and Crafty for me and my friends.
I'm trying to make a little cool website that displays the status of the Minecraft server using mcstatus.io's API so anyone can know how many players are on the server etc but I'm encountering a problem.
sometimes the API randomly returns a "server is offline" status even though it is online and accessible, and even when there are players playing.
I was frequently checking on their website itself to see if it displays correctly, but it's the same there, sometimes shows offline for some reason.
I've used more services to check the status of my server and they do too sometimes show offline like mcstatus.io.
so I think it's a problem with how my Debian machine interacts with sending the status over to different API's, maybe a network configuration thing, any help?

I don’t have experience with Crafty but could you share your server.properties ?
Also, if all your friends use Discord, you could alternatively setup something like DiscordSRV

Oh I missed where you said “Bedrock”, I have no experience with Bedrock servers beyond using Geyser+Floodgate
If different status APIs all show your server as offline simultaneously, it’s your server’s fault.
If different status APIs show your server as offline at different times (not simultaneously), you could try using different APIs. If the first request shows offline, try the secondary API

seems to happen at the same time with 2 different api's

Unfortunately that almost certainly means extra work for you 😭

My Java server had an issue where one status API would show as offline when it was online, and other status APIs weren’t cached so they’d show correct data. I solved it very simply how I described above but considering multiple APIs simultaneously return your server as offline that’s definitely a bigger issue

it does seem like a config thing, because when i use websites like canyouseeme to check if my port is visible it always returns closed even tough it is accessible

Very likely networking/firewall related

closed means EITHER that the port is blocked OR that the server (or anything else) wasn't running on that port

It is running and the server is accessible, I’ve checked when I was playing with friends outside of my network as well ofc

canyouseeme is probably checking tcp so it should always say closed
Google a udp port checker
