A work-in-progress Minecraft beta 1.7.3 server made in Rust. This project split the server crate from data structure and logic crate, the latter is made to be used be developers.
The logic crate mc173 provides the core data structures such as worlds, chunks and entities, but also the behaviors for blocks, items and entities. It also provides a lot of utilities related to Minecraft.
The server crate mc173-server is an implementation of the Notchian server protocol, it is built on top of the logic crate and has threaded networking, it also defines protocol structures.
There is a lot of work to be done in order to provide a fully functional server on parity with the Notchian server, in order to properly achieve this work, the following roadmap summarize implemented and missing components and in which order we should work on them. The priority of each feature is defined by its order in the list.
