A Minecraft server built from scratch in Rust — no Java, no Forge, no borrowed server code. Running on hardware in a living room, not a datacentre.
test server — read this first
This is an early test server running software that is still being written. The world may be changed, reset, or wiped at any time, without warning. Build things for fun, not to keep. Expect restarts, bugs, and downtime while things are worked on.

what makes it different
written from scratch
The server software is our own Rust implementation of the Minecraft protocol, not a Java server with plugins.
self-hosted
Runs on our own hardware at home, not rented from a hosting company.
open source
The code is MIT licensed. Read it, run it, fork it.
no pay to win
Donations keep the lights on. They do not buy advantages in game.
supporting the server
Donations go toward electricity, hardware, and bandwidth. Following Mojang's rules, they never buy gameplay advantages — no items, no ranks that affect balance, nothing that disadvantages players who do not pay.
