Gluon

Background

This project was created for multiple reasons:

• further my knowledge in C programming (this is my first C project)
• maximize performance for a great server and client experience
• give server owners (even more) control over their servers, instead of third-parties ;)

Future Development

I'm just one dude. PRs are welcome, and need to adhere to the coding style defined in X.txt.

Gluon Philosophy

This server is to mimic the vanilla Minecraft experience in all aspects, supporting all versions and the same world generation. The only logic added that doesn't adhere to vanilla Minecraft should be performance and memory improvements OR third-party additions.

Financial support

There isn't a way to financially support this project at this time.
