craftd is a third-party implementation of the Minecraft SMP server protocol.
The goal of craftd is to provide a high performance, low overhead implementation of the Minecraft Survival Multiplayer (SMP) protocol
craftd keeps modern UNIX daemon philosophy in mind. This includes best practice like async polling I/O, multi-threading, and use of high quality libraries whenever possible. craftd is written in C99. Advanced platform features such as plugins and scripting are offered. The primary focus is now on implementing fundamental game logic and features (roadmap).
You can find the latest source on github. Feel free to watch or fork!
