Minecraft Server

[parabyte]

I wonder how much this can be cut down so it builds and works on elks!
i would image the play area in the game would be incredibly tiny
But i saw someone elses work with a esp32 controller.
and found this
Minecraft Daemon
I would need to get the ssl lib working though as minecraft requires ssl

Any thoughts on this be really fantastic

It looks the memory requirements fit the 640 KB limitation and pure C. A problem might be how much real time speed is needed for normal gameplay. It is one of these bold and awesome ideas that we need :)

minecraft = young programmers at least my theory, even if the thing runs at 1fps, i personally do not play but i do have a minecraft account for testing purposes and a silly idea!

i got something of sorts working, i had to precompute alot of stuff, Which in itself is not the elks way, huge binary.
I am getting 0.2fps from real hardware.
If i cannot figure out a way to achieve at least 10fps i may mark this thread as closed as no young people would want to play with that!
my silly idea based off.

I see no problem. What machine are you using / emulating? If you use a fast machine like Pentium or even above then any ELKS binary will fly! Even if not using 32 bit instruction, ELKS will be fast!
So yes, it will still be still useful and cool! :)
Also we do hacking for fun!!!

This is only required for Mojang/Microsoft authentication, but you can use offline mode that disables it: https://github.com/vimpop/UCraft/blob/main/config.h#L13

By the way, you can look at avrcraft. Yep, this server is less powerful than UCraft and doesn't work with modern Minecraft versions, but it can run on a 8-bit 16 MHz microcontroller with 1 kB RAM. There is also a version for Linux which is (probably) easier to port on ELKS: https://github.com/cnlohr/avrcraft/blob/master/demo_x86_dumbcraft/
