mcstats
by sybrengg
mcstats tracks player statistics on a server and pushes them to an external database, so a server owner can build quests, leaderboards and dashboards from them.
What it does
Built on Fabric, the mod reads the vanilla custom player statistics and sends them out through MySQL, SQLite or HTTP. The counts cover blocks broken and placed, items used and crafted, kills, deaths, damage taken, distance moved and time played. Blocks broken from natural world generation are tracked separately from blocks broken by players, so a quest system cannot be satisfied by placing and re-mining cobblestone.
Beyond the built-in ones, the mod also records counts such as enchantments performed, distinct biomes entered, totem activations, nights slept and the largest single hit dealt. Players connect with vanilla clients and do not install anything. The mod is server-side only, and the server needs Fabric API alongside it. A default configuration logs to the console so the setup can be checked before a database is connected, and the config file is edited and applied after a restart.
Key features
Vanilla statistic export
Standard counts such as blocks broken, items crafted, kills and time played are sent to an external store.
Natural block separation
Blocks broken during world generation are recorded apart from blocks a player broke, keeping mining quests accurate.
Custom statistics
Additional tallies cover how many enchantments were applied, how many different biomes were reached, how often a totem was triggered, how many times a bed was used to sleep and the strongest individual blow.
Console logging by default
The default configuration writes to the console, so output can be verified before a database is wired up.

Use cases
Quest systems
Quest logic can read per-player counters from the database to decide when a goal is complete.
Leaderboards
Server owners can rank players by deaths, kills, distance moved or time played using stored totals.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run quests, leaderboards or external dashboards and want player statistics in a database. Players on a server running mcstats need no installation.
How it compares
Stats4Us is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric across 26.1 – 26.3. Death Count is also server-side only and MIT licensed, but targets 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and tracks deaths rather than the full statistics set. GriefLogger differs more: it runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, is under the Apache License 2.0 and covers 1.19.2 – 26.2, with a logging focus.
