Thanks for your reply. At least now I know why my proof-of-concept failed.
On that note, what would be the realistic limitations of introducing plugins based on existing mods for the Java server?
I am new to lua, but I am more than willing to put in some time and effort to port some popular mods if I can.
The reason being that I think MCServer is absolutely the best Minecraft server available and with proper functionality it would definitely gain more traction.
The main complaint that people I have shown it to have had is that they do not enjoy vanilla minecraft.
Which is why I am asking those who are more knowledgeable than myself if I would be wasting my time by dissecting things and re-creating them.
Any advice is appreciated.
Update: I was able to run the proof-of-concept from the first attempt with the changes you mentioned. The Java VM that this project provides does not include lua_pushboolean which would require a lua proxy to pull it from another version. I had fun trying though
