Animated MOTDs result in errors. about mcstatus HOT 9 CLOSED

@pangeacake Actually, animated motds are a bug in Minecraft, basically when the server responds with a broken version response, Minecraft polls the server again. In more recent versions of Minecraft (past 1.8.4), animated motds do not work, even in Vanilla Minecraft, I suggest this issue to be closed.

I concur; closing.

Yeah, I agree with Luke. MCStatus should really be able to handle "animated" MOTDs. Because it really sucks when MCStatus can't handle them. It also breaks the mcstatus command within the CloudBot IRC bot a little bit, due to MCStatus not being able to handle MOTDs that are animated.

I think the issue is that the server sends an 'offline' response to the client which is what allows it to edit the message

wtf ? keep it simple.

@Ryuutei what do you mean..

Who knows what will happen with future servers, no need to add burden to mcstatus with weird modded stuff.

@Ryuutei but the client accepts them, so this should too. Isn't that what this is for?
