MCAnalytics ties every join to a hostname, then tracks who returns within seven days and what they spend.
Sample data. Not a real network.
BUILT FOR SERVER OWNERS
Player counters tell you how many. This tells you where they came from, whether they stayed, and which campaign paid for itself.
Give each creator, campaign, or server list its own address, such as tiktok.yourserver.net. Velocity records that hostname on first join and keeps it for the player lifetime.
A return counts after a successful login, or after three minutes online when no login system exists. Connection attempts and open windows do not count.
Planned, not yet connected. When it ships, store purchases will stay credited to the first acquisition source, refunds and chargebacks will reduce that revenue, and unmatched payments will stay in their own bucket.
Compare Java Premium, cracked players with nLogin login confirmation, and Floodgate Bedrock as separate identity types. Usernames are never used to merge accounts.
Planned, not yet connected. A player will count as cheating only after a confirmed cheat ban, never on a raised violation level alone, so you can see which campaigns bring problem joins.
The plugin queues and retries off the main thread. MCAnalytics downtime does not touch tick rate, TPS, or gameplay.
Velocity reads the address a player typed before they ever reach a backend world. That address decides who gets the credit.
Planned, not yet connected. When it ships, each rank and crate bought in your store will tie back to the player who bought it and the source that brought them in.
Events queue on your server and retry off the main thread. If MCAnalytics goes down, your TPS does not notice.
DEPLOYMENT
Install the jar, start the server, then pair with one console command. No database migrations, and no restart after pairing.
Drop the lightweight MCAnalytics JAR into your Velocity plugins folder and Paper backend worlds.
Generate a pairing code in Dashboard, Settings, Connectors, then run the pair command in your Paper or Velocity console.
/mca pair ABCD-EFGHPoint a subdomain at each creator in your DNS, and joins through it start crediting them from that moment.
PLANS
Plans scale with peak concurrent players, not with how many backend servers you run. Billing is not live during the private beta, so every plan below starts as an access request.
Small communities and non-profit servers
Free
Up to 50 concurrent players
Growing public networks
$29/ month
Up to 250 concurrent players
14-day free trial
Larger networks with paid staff
$79/ month
Up to 1,000 concurrent players
14-day free trial
These are the planned beta rates and can change before billing opens. Paid plans will start with a 14-day free trial. Networks under 50 concurrent players stay free.
QUESTIONS
Straight answers, including what MCAnalytics does not do.
MCAnalytics is a growth analytics platform for Minecraft server networks. It records which hostname a player first joined through, whether that player came back inside seven days, and how your backend servers performed. It runs as a Velocity and Paper plugin that reports to a dashboard you log into.
Give each creator, campaign, or server list its own address, such as tiktok.yourserver.net. The Velocity proxy reads the hostname the player typed at their first join and keeps it for that player's lifetime. Everything that player later does stays credited to that first source. Players who arrive with no resolvable hostname stay in an explicit unknown bucket rather than being guessed at.
A player counts as returned when they come back at any time during the seven days after their first join. On a network with a login system the return counts after a successful login, so failed logins and bare connection attempts never count. On a network without one, three minutes online counts. Players whose seven days have not finished yet are shown as open windows, never as failures.
The plugin queues events off the main thread and retries them from a local spool, so it does not block the server tick. If the MCAnalytics service is unreachable the plugin keeps buffering on disk and sends later. Downtime on our side does not touch your tick rate, your TPS, or gameplay.
Velocity is the supported proxy and is authoritative for network joins. Hostname capture behind a protection layer such as NeoProtect or TCPShield depends on how that layer forwards the connection, so compatibility is verified for each setup during onboarding rather than promised in advance. Paper runs the backend plugin for session and performance data.
Yes, and it keeps them apart. Premium Java, cracked Java, and Bedrock are separate identity types, so you can compare how each behaves. Bedrock identity uses Floodgate data. When nLogin confirms a cracked login, that confirmation is recorded on the session. Merging a cracked account into a premium one is planned and is not reachable from the dashboard yet. Accounts are never merged because two usernames look alike, and no device fingerprinting is used.
Planned, not shipped. The rule is settled and the storage is built: a purchase is matched to the player who made it, that player's first acquisition source keeps the credit for their lifetime, refunds and chargebacks reduce it, and payments that cannot be matched stay in their own bucket. No Tebex ingest is connected today, so the Revenue page has nothing real to show. It is listed here as planned rather than shipped.
Plan reports what happens on your servers: sessions, playtime, TPS, and player counts. MCAnalytics reports where players came from and what that traffic was worth, then adds the server and player analytics on top. Acquisition source and seven day return by source are the parts Plan does not cover, and store revenue by source is planned on top of them.
Not yet. The rule is settled and the storage is built: a player counts as cheating only after a confirmed cheat ban, and a raised violation level never labels anyone a cheater. The GrimAC and Polar bridge that would deliver those bans is not connected, so the Fair Play page has nothing real to show today. It is listed here as planned rather than shipped.
Networks under 50 concurrent players are free, including hostname attribution and retention. Planned beta rates above that are 29 US dollars a month up to 250 concurrent players and 79 US dollars a month up to 1,000. Plans scale with peak concurrent players, not with how many backend servers you run. Billing is not live during the private beta, so every plan starts as an access request.
Raw IP addresses are not kept beyond the processing they are needed for. Where correlation is required, an optional per network keyed hash is used, and that hash is never treated as anonymous data or as a permanent player identity. The network owner is the data controller and MCAnalytics is the processor.
It does not fingerprint devices, guess identity from username similarity, or work as a ban evasion tool. It does not claim attribution it cannot prove, so unknown traffic stays visible as unknown. It is not an official Minecraft product and is not associated with Mojang or Microsoft.
