Install

Download a jar from the releases page

Build IceStom from source by cloning this repository and building with gradle

./gradlew build # Linux
./gradlew.bat build # Windows

You can then execute the jar as you would with a regular Minecraft server.

The server isn't particually useful without any tracks, contact @microwavedram for some track files, we are currently working on some tooling to make track creation simple.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Icestom is very different from other Minecraft servers.

Advantages

• Extremely Lightweight
• Small memory footprint
• Highly extensible
• Immutable (no world files, tracks are loaded from individual files and loaded into Minestom instances / worlds)
• No Mojank code, including the native non existence of boatlag
• Built from the lessons learnt through TimingSystem

Disadvantages

• Lack of any vannila features (pretty much every single command)
• Entirely incompatible with Bukkit
• Doesn't work with older clients (running behind a proxy with Via is pretty much essential)
• Zero anticheat, not even the vanilla anticheat
