**Goals:**
- Make this as fast as possible on a single thread.
- Only use thread pools if absolutely neccesary.
- Build the server in a way where it should be easy to multithread it.
**Implemented:**
- Basic flat terrain generation
- Basic (top to bottom, no spread) Lighting
- "Decent" terrain generation using OpenSimplex Noise
- Multi-World support
- Chunk management (loading / unloading)
- Cross chunk structure generation (trees, buildings, etc...)
- World/Chunk saving to disk
- Block breaking
- Player Inventory
**WIP:**
- Entities:
- Players
- Dimensions:
- Nether
- Inventories (containers, etc...)
**To Implement:**
- Block placement
- Entities:
- Items
- Mobs
- Saving inventories
- Sleeping in beds
- Tile entities
- Probably a bunch more things that i'm forgetting

## Running the server
**Heads Up!**
This server is under pretty heavy development with most likley breaking changes, I will try my best to keep compatibility in the save formats (or provide migration paths) with updates but cannot guarentee it.
To use the server either grab a [release](https://github.com/tgpholly/mc-beta-server/releases/latest) or build it yourself.
### Running from a release
~~When using a release all you need to do is run the executable you get from the download.~~
### Building yourself
To build the server yourself clone the repo and run
```
npm i
npm run build
```
This will automatically build the server and pack it into a single js file, you'll find your resulting js file in the `./build` folder.
## Setting up for development
To run the server simply clone the repo, and run:
```
npm i
```
Copy the [`config.example.json`](https://github.com/tgpholly/mc-beta-server/blob/typescript/config.example.json) to `config.json` and edit how you want it, then run:
```
npm run dev:run
```
You are now running a server locally!
When running the server with `npm run dev:run` it is running with nodemon, this means that the server will auto restart as you edit.
