A Minecraft server reduced to the bone, to learn the concepts behind it.

MinecraftLightServer

This is a Proof of Concept of a simple Minecraft server written in Go, that has a simple multiplayer world.

Version

This server actually supports only Minecraft 1.16.5 clients.

Purpose

This is a very simple server, which can help those who are making one to better understand how the basic things that compose it interact with each other.

Thanks

This project was inspired by:

• ESP32 Minecraft Server, a very simple Minecraft server written in C for the ESP32 development board.
• Go-mc, a Minecraft library written in Go.
• wiki vg, a website that has the documentation for every Minecraft package.

Everything has been adapted and rewritten to make code easy to understand.
