The just-spotted feed
What the just-spotted feed shows on your server's public listing page, how it refreshes, and how opted-out players appear.
Updated 7 June 2026
The just-spotted feed appears on every server's public listing page. It shows the most recently seen players, updated as new data comes in. It is the closest thing to a live "who's online" view that the public listing page provides.
What the feed shows
The feed displays the 12 most recently spotted players, sorted by when they were last seen. Each entry includes the player's Minecraft head (loaded from Crafatar), their username, and a relative timestamp such as "2 hours ago". Timestamps are rounded to the nearest hour for privacy.
Players shown in the feed are not necessarily online right now. They are the players most recently spotted across any polling or heartbeat cycle. A player spotted 20 minutes ago may have since disconnected.
How it refreshes
The feed refreshes automatically every 30 seconds in the browser, fetching fresh data without requiring a page reload. Network errors during a refresh are silently ignored: the feed shows the last successfully loaded data rather than an error state.
Opted-out players
Players who have opted out via clan.me/optout still appear in the feed if they were recently spotted, but their identity is redacted. Their entry shows "Anonymous" with a generic placeholder head instead of their username and Minecraft avatar. Their sighting is still counted for player count and session analytics, their identity is just not displayed publicly.
