[just for fun]: since we have a client, a server is needed~

[tskdsb]

we all know that the java-server is so inefficient:

• low TPS
• high memory use
• awful API extension

we can use rust to fix above, with below targets:

• smaller block for fine structure
• low CPU and memory usage
• friendly API extension for developer and content creator

focus the basic like

• efficient
• extension

then:

• item system
• creature behavior
• ...

more mobs, blocks, items, skills, effects, models will produce by out player with the friendly API extension...

what a beautiful world ！

Alternative server list: https://wiki.vg/Server_List - some are written in Rust (in part or all)

An interesting new server implementation written in Rust: https://github.com/feather-rs/feather/
(mentioned in #167 (comment))

There's also cuberite (https://github.com/cuberite/cuberite)

Cuberite definitely is the most promising alternative option in my eyes. Some skilled devs work on it, there is a great plugin API, and there is a lot of stuff implemented. Still a long way to go till it's fully usable for survival servers though.

cuberite/cuberite#4888

I think Cuberite is among the most promising alternative server implementations (though it is C++/Lua, not Rust). feather-rs also looks to be coming a long way. Could be interesting to test this client with these server implementations.

[Titaniumtown]

indeed. I know that cuberite can use like 90% less resources than vanilla, or even paper. I've never looked into feather-rs before.

thanks, that's enough

https://github.com/Minestom/Minestom minestom would also be a good option -- lightweight and extendable
