craftd is on github. This is a developer preview for feedback. It doesn't currently implement much of the Minecraft protocol, but you can follow along and track progress. Check back later for release tarballs and eventually binaries.
Things that have been hashed out:
- Autotools build system for cross-platform ease & possible distro inclusion
- libevent2 cross-platform event polling and network I/O
- Fast packet state machine and variable length packet decoder
- Pthreads worker pool
- libevent2 integrated httpd
- Daemon basics -- need conventional SIG handlers, SIGHUP, pid locks
- Choose a FOSS license -> Simplified BSD
- Logging. XSI/Single UNIX Specification syslog most likely. -> syslog with alternative stdout selector at runtime.
- Configuration files -> JSON formatted
- Chat, motd, string handling (bstring)
- Basic NBT read and write support
- Chunk sending
Future directions/TODO:
These are future research and development ideas in arbitrary order.
- World file format. custom w/import-export? BerkeleyDB?
- Sparse matrix for ^?
- Binaries for Linux, Win32(MinGW), FreeBSD
- Stress test w/large num users - Goal 100+ simultaneous
- Dynamically tunable worker pool
- Use more zero copy I/O
- JSON-REST admin/status API
- Security audit - perpetual
- Running from a chroot
- Native WIN32 threading with MinGW - needs a contributor/maintainer
- Protocol testing framework
- IPC to an IRC relay agent
- Alternative/improved protocol for NPCs, bots, scripting?
