feather VS Paper

Server side: - https://github.com/feather-rs/feather - https://github.com/valence-rs/valence

- What server software or framework to use. Ideally, if you dont need too much vanilla features (world generation, all mobs & items implemented, etc), I'd use something lightweight that is not based off of the vanilla server software. There are a few projects like this on github, including: https://github.com/Minestom/Minestom , https://github.com/feather-rs/feather , https://github.com/KryptonMC/Krypton , https://github.com/df-mc/dragonfly (bedrock). Which one you use will probably depend mostly on your preference. - You will need a way to store data separate from the servers. A database like postgres should work. There are a lot of different databases tho!

There has been some work... feather mc server and piston's hematite client This client also seems to be in active development: Leafish

There is the feather port of Minecraft server. Lacking a gui but the serve could easily reach parity with some community help

As far as your enum idea goes, I don't directly see a place for storing chunk data in an enum (in the way that you would with Some(T). But, totally OK to store your block types that way (as feather-rs does)

The insight contributors chart is usually a good clue. It’s not perfect because it only shows the main branch configured in GitHub and some project haven’t merged to main in years.

Still, it’s good to see how many real contributors a project has, and how active they are over time.

In a similar vein, there is also a Rust-based Minecraft server implementation:

I think feather's plugin system is pretty cool

We will be downloading the Minecraft server files into this directory. To preface, there are numerous variations of server JARs that can be used (e.g. Spigot, Paper, Purpur each touting their own benefits). For this tutorial, we will be working with Paper, a fork of Spigot that is optimized for performance.

PaperMC, a minecraft server has over a quarter million lines of code Github link

Paper fixed it here: https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/commit/8493340be4fa69fa9369719272e5dff1b7a2f455
