A high performance Minecraft server implementation written in C.
Join the Discord server here.
- Pure performance: minimum resource usage for a full Minecraft server implementation
- Drop-in replacement: compatible with Spigot API plugins via JNI, standard Minecraft world format (Anvil)
- Extensibility: ease of modification, large plugin API
- Stability: use good C programming standards to prevent server-breaking bugs
Currently, version Minecraft 1.11.2 and 1.10.2 is supported. As of April 2019, this project is being refactored to meet higher standards of quality and stability. Feature development will resume afterwards, with Minecraft 1.14 support coming concurrently.
