Show HN: Yet another Minecraft server written in Rust(git.thetxt.io) Hello HN! For the past year I've been working on Oxide, a Minecraft server written from scratch in Rust. Currently supported features include: You can also spin up your own with docker, see my example docker-compose.yml[1] Because this is supposed to be a learning opportunity, I have opted to use as few external dependencies or LLM help as possible. At the moment, the only crate I depend on is flate2 for compression/decompression and jzon in my tooling. I'm also making videos about the progress and how different features work and are implemented.[2] My favorite so far is about how Minecraft stores worlds to disk.[3] While I'm of course not the first one to make a Minecraft server in Rust[4], its still been a great learning opportunity! I look forward to implementing more features, like block entities, entities, multiple dimensions and online mode. I also just released the first version 0.1 a couple of days ago. Of course I also made a video about that[5], which I also adapted into a blog post[6]. In there I explain more about what this project is. |
