cuberite VS PolyMC

You might be able to port a C/C++ implementation to Arduino or another language with a good ESP compiler, but that's going to be a lot of effort, and the biggest challenge you're going to face isn't RAM, it's disk space--Minecraft worlds can be GB in size, so you'll need to pair your microcontroller with, say, an SD card reader and then adapt a whole disk IO system

Shout out for Cuberite as an alternative Minecraft server project that desperately needs more volunteers

https://github.com/cuberite/cuberite

"Cuberite is a Minecraft-compatible multiplayer game server that is written in C++ and designed to be efficient with memory and CPU"

Cuberite has been demoed running on old ARM Android phones and hosting multiple players off it at once. Its performance absolutely annihilates the Java based 'vanilla' server

so basically Cuberite but more officially and with a rewritten client as well

Some have started doing this already, like Cuberite and McPy.

For minecraft server I guess it is worth trying this out: https://github.com/cuberite/cuberite

For the server you should look into Cuberite, same thing but for the server and written in C++.

There were a bunch of attempts in the past. Cuberite is still actively maintained but I have never tried them: https://github.com/cuberite/cuberite

No, not really. No one was in charge at the beginning. It was a community project with multiple people having the administrative role at the same time. LennyMcLennington was one of the contributers, but not really an important one. But he removed the administrative rights from the actually important people. Devs like flowln and Scrumplex played a much bigger role. Even after half a year being the only developer at the PolyMC-Project Lenny still heasn't caught up with what other conributers had done in a few months before. See: https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/graphs/contributors

Could I suggest trying a different launcher such as PolyMC? You can get this on deck in Linux linkand sign into your microsoft account to access Java. This version also has the benefit of you being able to get modpacks.

It's still open source, the repo hasn't moved. https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/

The issue is: the main developer freaked out, made a post ranting about political bs, kicked everyone from the GitHub project and now it's been 2 months since it hasn't been updated. The developers who used to contribute to "PolyMC" moved from the "PolyMC" project to the "PrismLauncher" one after the drama.

There was no prompting or provocation towards lenny at all. The code of conduct existed for ages before lenny deleted it on oct 17 2022: https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/commits/358f080c76dbdfc65f32e08448a5e38b78d2bab0/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

for polymc literally yes git commit (got deleted but title is there)

First, it's gio that handles trash in SteamOS. Second, after digging into PolyMC's code, it also leverages trash. Was added roughly 7 months ago in this commit: https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/commit/02f30de1c11fa53e61c199032a3280afe618e3b2
