Information on MCServer

[Shadowraix]

Hello and welcome to the forum.

We have a post where we roughly keep track of what MCServer has implemented and what it's missing compared to Vanilla/Bukkit/Spigot. You can find it here: https://forum.cuberite.org/showthread.ph...53#pid3553

Our API is good enough for most cases. The thing we're probably mostly missing is an API to control mobs. (not entities, just mobs) We probably miss some other stuff. For example if I remember correctly we do support scoreboards, but it's per-world, not per-player, so you can't use it in for example mini-games. Here is the documentation about the API: http://mc-server.xoft.cz/LuaAPI/

MCServer misses some survival features, and it sometimes is a bit unstable (especially if entities are enabled), but if you want for example a creative/plot server then MCServer works fine. We currently have a plot server running on a Rasberri Pi 1 where we build structures for our world generator.


I hope this answers most of your questions If you have any more don't hesitate to ask them. ^^

I would like to say thank you for the greetings and for making a very well-written reply!

I'm more interested in multi-purpose servers which does includes all kinds of variants such as survival, creative and any other world type I can think of.

This is kind of a downer because I would really like to use MCServer. I'll probably experiment with the API here and there. I'll keep track of the development of the server software. Once it reaches a more reliable and feature-complete state I'll jump in to make a full-fledged server.

I would like to ask a few questions Lua-side:

1. Are there any features stripped from the MCServer implementation?
2. What version is it running?
3. If 5.1, is it using LuaJit?
