Days since last Rust Minecraft server (dayssincelastrustmcserver.com)

FerrumC, similar to Pumpkin, which I recently posted today, is yet another Minecraft server built in Rust that released a month ago. Funny that there's already an inside joke regarding new Rust Minecraft servers being released close to the pace of JavaScript frameworks.

If anyone is interested here is a wiki with quite a few of the open source Minecraft servers and clients made through the years.

https://wiki.vg/Server_List

Also check out the most Unix-y server ever written which was written in Bash

Curious if there's an up to date Minecraft server written in some Lisp dialect. I only see old ones written 5-10 years ago. Seems like a fun project to try.

Yeah, you would think there would have been someone making a Clojure version at least

Nobody has even developed a fully open source Minecraft server in Java yet. There's never going to be one in Rust. The amount of work to keep up with changes or additions in content or the world simulation would just be too high.

Yeah world gen is one of the most difficult parts to implement since Minecraft and Mojang are very protective of that area, not to mention the monumental task of maintaining bug compatibility, especially with redstone. It's still interesting to see parts of Minecraft being implemented in other languages.

There have been multiple Java based projects throughout the years. The most advanced one that is currently in development is https://github.com/Minestom/Minestom

It's a play on words. Ferrum is the Latin word for iron and it rusts. And MC (Minecraft) in the end. So it becomes Ferrumc. Get it? ๐Ÿ˜„

You can build Minecraft servers in Rust? You can really make anything in that game
