  • cuberite

    A lightweight, fast and extensible game server for Minecraft

  • 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

  • Glowstone

    A fast, customizable and compatible open source server for Minecraft: Java Edition

  • You could. Glowstone is a Minecraft server written in Java (without any of Mojang's code) but it is still not feature complete from what I heard, so things are missing. When I tried it, it seemed pretty solid and fast though.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
