Dragonfire -> 1998 00.26%
Shpere -> 1344 00.18%
other/unknown -> 39484 05.23%
Note about 5.0:
Close to 100% of these requests appear to be from an Android app built from a particular
dev commit before the 5.0 release, making it incompatible with all servers no matter the version.
Which app this is is unknown. It is suspected that the app doesn't even allow
multiplayer and fetching the list is a code bug/accident.
Note about 0.4.13:
There seems to be a popular (new?) iOS app that is based on 0.4.13, since
96% of these are from iOS.
Note about KawaiiCraft/KawaiiWorld:
Version numbers suggest that these are based on old versions of the MultiCraft codebase
and therefore (mostly) on Minetest 0.4.17.
Note about MultiCraft:
We cannot measure the actual userbase of MultiCraft, because version
1.5.0 (Sept 2019) and newer exclusively fetch its own server list.
(found at )
Note about other/unknown:
Technically some of these could be Minetest 0.4.7 or older, but that's unlikely.
This section is mostly curl, wget and other programmatic requests plus
the rest of irrelevant Android forks (about 40).

Note on the versions:
The maximum of 0.4.17 is v32, the minimum of 5.0 is v37.
Versions 33 until 36 were never released (dev builds only).
⚠️ Final note on versions ⚠️:
Android apps of questionable quality distort these numbers a lot, e.g. the
same survey under only Windows users puts the 0.4/5.x split at 2%/97%.

Note about Desktop vs. Mobile:
All Linux ARM devices are counted as mobile *unless* their kernel version
can be reliably identified as a desktop distribution. macOS on ARM can also
be detected since it uniquely identifies as "arm64".
