What is Kosmos?

Kosmos is a free and open source (FOSS) alternative of the official Mojang's Minecraft Realms, respectively, with assistance from some friendly developers and helpers from the internet. It aims towards creating an easy to run a distributed network, on any server, using traditional server system. Minecraftly Cloud Platform is now community-developed and will be remained free under GNU GPL license.

Started out as a simple Minecraft game server like every other, I understood and saw the importance of education through gaming. The period of changing mindset from owning a proprietary software to deciding if I should open source it was not short of a challenge. In the end, I'm glad that I was able to open source it, and share it with passionate people who want to contribute to the community, to change the world via cloud computing, and with everyone who wants to learn.

It has all the features you would expect in a Minecraft server, with additional performance gain including async, cloud computing compatibility, on demand loading.

Minecraftly can run on traditional Minecraft server setup, with local file system. The advantage is, it's able to run on one and multiple servers at the same time, sharing the same NFS, Redis, and MySQL servers as a way of communicating between servers.

We currently support the latest version of Minecraft. The version is always up to date.
