MCStatus Bot for Discord

MCStatus Bot for Discord is a bot designed to fetch the status of Minecraft servers and display that information in a Discord server. It periodically checks the status of Minecraft servers (Java Edition and Bedrock Edition) using user-provided API URLs from mcstatus.io and updates the server status on Discord using webhooks and embeds.
