Section 31
by USS-Shenzhou
Section 31 gives a server owner a ready-made status page with player counts and resource readings, with no separate monitoring stack to set up.
What it does
Once installed, Section 31 starts a small web page that reports the state of the running game. It tracks the number of players on the server, JVM heap and memory pool usage, system CPU load, system RAM use, and network traffic in and out. The page is meant to work out of the box, as a lighter alternative to setting up a full stack such as Prometheus with Grafana.
The mod loads like any regular NeoForge mod. By default the monitoring page is served on 127.0.0.1:25570 for the server and 127.0.0.1:25571 for the client, so the readings can be opened in a browser on the same machine. Additional metrics can be requested through the issue tracker or added through pull requests in the public source repository.
Section 31 is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, so the code is open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public. Files are published for NeoForge only, across three release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.2, and the latest file is 26.2-0 for 26.2, published 2026-10-11.
Key features
Player count readout
The page shows how many players are currently connected to the server.
JVM memory monitoring
Heap usage and the usage of each JVM memory pool are displayed on the page.
System resource readings
CPU load, RAM use and network traffic in and out of the machine are reported alongside the game metrics.
Browser-based status page
Readings are served locally over HTTP, so they open in any browser without an extra service or dashboard.

Use cases
Watching a local server
A server owner running on the same machine can keep an eye on memory and CPU while players are online.
Checking a client session
A player running the client can open the client page to see memory use during a game session.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want basic health readings without configuring a separate monitoring stack, and players who want to watch their client's resource use.
