The class also allows you to query servers using RCON although this only works for half-life 1 and source engine games. [Minecraft](http://www.minecraft.net) also uses Source RCON protocol, and this means you can use this class to send commands to your minecraft server while having engine set to Source engine. **⚠️ Do not send me emails if this does not work for you, I will not help you.** Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - [Modern PHP version](https://php.net/supported-versions.php) - 64-bit PHP or [gmp module](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/book.gmp.php) - Your server must allow UDP connections Protocol Specifications ----------------------- [](#protocol-specifications) - [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Server\_queries](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Server_queries) - [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source\_RCON\_Protocol](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_RCON_Protocol) Supported Games --------------- [](#supported-games) AppIDGameQueryRCONNotes~All HL1/HL2 games and mods✅✅10[Counter-Strike 1.6](http://store.steampowered.com/app/10/)✅✅440[Team Fortress 2](http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/)✅✅550[Left 4 Dead 2](http://store.steampowered.com/app/550/)✅✅730[Counter-Strike 2](http://store.steampowered.com/app/730/)✅✅`host_name_store 1; host_info_show 2; host_players_show 2`1002[Rag Doll Kung Fu](http://store.steampowered.com/app/1002/)✅✅2400[The Ship](http://store.steampowered.com/app/2400/)✅✅4000[Garry's Mod](http://store.steampowered.com/app/4000/)✅✅17710[Nuclear Dawn](http://store.steampowered.com/app/17710/)✅✅70000[Dino D-Day](http://store.steampowered.com/app/70000/)✅✅107410[Arma 3](http://store.steampowered.com/app/107410/)✅❌Add +1 to the server port115300[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3](http://store.steampowered.com/app/115300/)✅✅162107[DeadPoly](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1621070/)✅❌211820[Starbound](http://store.steampowered.com/app/211820/)✅✅Call `SetUseOldGetChallengeMethod` method after connecting244850[Space Engineers](http://store.steampowered.com/app/244850/)✅❌Add +1 to the server port304930[Unturned](https://store.steampowered.com/app/304930/)✅❌Add +1 to the server port251570[7 Days to Die](http://store.steampowered.com/app/251570)✅❌252490[Rust](http://store.steampowered.com/app/252490/)✅❌282440[Quake Live](http://store.steampowered.com/app/282440)✅❌Quake Live uses the ZMQ messaging queue protocol for rcon control.346110[ARK: Survival Evolved](http://store.steampowered.com/app/346110/)✅✅~[Minecraft](http://www.minecraft.net/)❌✅108600[Project: Zomboid](https://store.steampowered.com/app/108600/)✅✅1874880[Arma Reforger](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1874880/)✅✅Open a pull request if you know another game which supports Source Query and/or RCON protocols.
