Minecraft Server Ping with C#

Question

I tried to communicate with Minecraft Server by using C#. What I try to do is receive information about server (name, motd, icon etc.) by pinging it like a client. I used information from here and here but I can't get this to work.

I can connect and send bytes to it but when I read the response from server I get only a byte "00FF". There's no error's or anything.

What am I doing wrong?

Sample code I'm using:

try
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Connecting...");
            TcpClient tcpClient = new TcpClient("127.0.0.1", 25565);
            NetworkStream netStream = tcpClient.GetStream();
            Console.WriteLine("Connected.");

            if (netStream.CanWrite)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Writing...");
                byte[] bytes = { 0xFE };
                netStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
                Console.WriteLine("Written.");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Can't write to the stream!");
            }

            if (netStream.CanRead)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Reading...");
                byte[] bytes = new byte[tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize];
                netStream.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);

                richTextBox1.AppendText(Encoding.Default.GetString(bytes));

                Console.WriteLine("Read.");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Can't read from the stream!");
            }

            Console.WriteLine("Closing...");
            netStream.Close();
            tcpClient.Close();
            Console.WriteLine("Closed.");
        }
        catch (Exception err)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(err.Message);
        }

EDIT:

I found out that I was trying to do legacy style ping. It's not working anymore and Ican't find nowhere an updated pinger. I need to send following data but I don't know how to do it:

1. FE — packet identifier for a server list ping
2. 01 — server list ping's payload (always 1)
3. FA — packet identifier for a plugin message
4. 00 0B — length of following string, in characters, as a short (always 11)
5. 00 4D 00 43 00 7C 00 50 00 69 00 6E 00 67 00 48 00 6F 00 73 00 74 — the string MC|PingHost encoded as a UTF-16BE string
6. XX XX — length of the rest of the data, as a short. Compute as 7 + len(hostname), where len(hostname) is the number of bytes in the UTF-16BE encoded hostname.
7. XX — protocol version, e.g. 4a for the last version (74)
8. XX XX — length of following string, in characters, as a short
9. ... — hostname the client is connecting to, encoded as a UTF-16BE string
10. XX XX XX XX — port the client is connecting to, as an int. 

The full connection info can be found here, but I don't know how to implement this on C#.

This is NOT duplicate because all other questions are for the legacy way.
