What works today

What works today

Elah is currently at version 0.0.3. It is a laboratory-stage project, not a playable distributed Minecraft platform.

0.0.1 Genesis

Genesis created the project foundation:

• repository structure;
• licensing and contribution rules;
• architecture decisions;
• pinned build tools;
• automated checks;
• isolated upstream research records.

It did not include Minecraft gameplay.

0.0.2 Protocol Laboratory

Protocol Laboratory proved that a Rust controller and a Java dummy worker can use the same versioned control contract.

The hosted release test repeatedly kills and reconnects the worker. It verifies new session generations, monotonic heartbeats, and rejection of an old retired session.

This is a control-path test. It is not a Minecraft worker or a network deployment.

0.0.3 Observer

Observer is the first administrator-facing command:

elah observe <world>

It can report:

• the saved world name and version data;
• dimensions;
• region and occupied chunk counts;
• world coordinate bounds;
• disk usage and storage distribution;
• saved timestamps, clearly labelled as metadata.

Optional deep mode also validates every occupied terrain chunk within fixed limits.

Observer opens selected world inputs read-only. It repeats its evidence collection before returning a report. If the world changes during the scan, it returns no success report.

What does not work yet

Elah does not yet provide:

• a playable distributed world;
• Folia or Velocity integration;
• player handoff;
• multi-worker ownership;
• world storage services;
• automatic failover;
• world repair;
• dynamic scaling.
