Discord Bot With Pyhton Minecraft Server Status

Question

I tried to make a Discord bot for checking a Minecraft server's stauts but after starting the bot the values are not changing.

Here is my code:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import Interaction

import minestat
import time


def player_count():
    i = 0

    while (i < 1):
        ms = minestat.MineStat('serverip', serverport)
        print('Minecraft server status of %s on port %d:' % (ms.address, ms.port))
        if ms.online:
            server_status = ('Sunucu Aktif! version %s  %s out of %s players.' % (ms.version, ms.current_players, ms.max_players))
            return server_status  # Return the server status instead of assigning to global variable

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".", intents=discord.Intents.all())


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    server_status = player_count()  # Call the player_count function to get the status
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.activity.Game(name=server_status), status=discord.Status.idle)
    print(f"{client.user.name} is logged in")

I tried putting client.run("bot_token") at the bottom:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import Interaction
import minestat
import time


def player_count():
    ms = minestat.MineStat('serverip', serverport)
    server_status = ('Sunucu Aktif! version %s  %s out of %s players.' % (ms.version, ms.current_players, ms.max_players))
    return server_status  # Return the server status instead of assigning to global variable

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".", intents=discord.Intents.all())


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    server_status = player_count()  # Call the player_count function to get the status
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.activity.Game(name=server_status), status=discord.Status.idle)
    print(f"{client.user.name} is logged in")
    while True:
        time.sleep(60)
        server_status = player_count()
        await client.change_presence(activity=discord.activity.Game(name=server_status), status=discord.Status.idle)


client.run("bot_token")

error:

I changed:

i = 0
def player_count(): 
   while i < 1:
       ms = minestat.MineStat('cakalistan.aternos.me', 29049)
       if ms.online:
          print('Server is online running version %s with %s out of %s players.' % (ms.version,         ms.current_players, ms.max_players))
       server_status = ('Sunucu Aktif! version %s  %s out of %s players.' % (ms.version, ms.current_players, ms.max_players))
    return server_status  # Return the server status instead of assigning to global variable

and added:

    while True:
        time.sleep(60)
        server_status = player_count()
        await client.change_presence(activity=discord.activity.Game(name=server_status), status=discord.Status.idle)

but it is not working.

Answer 1

time.sleep(60) is blocking the main loop of your discord bot.

Change it to:

await asyncio.sleep(60)

And dont forget:

import asyncio
