WIP:
- Entities:
- Players
To Implement:
- Block placement
- Entities:
- Items
- Mobs
- Inventories (player inventory, containers, etc...)
- Sleeping in beds
- Tile entities
- Probably a bunch more things that i'm forgetting
Long Term:
- Make this as fast as possible on a single thread.
- Only use thread pools if absolutely neccesary.
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 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 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.
