[ANN] jsmc - Minecraft server written in Node

[Conrad Pankoff]

Hey noders!

Over the weekend/first part of this week I've started writing a Minecraft server entirely in JavaScript, to experiment with different types of applications in node. It's been surprisingly easy, with the help of a couple of support libraries I wrote for dealing with binary stuff. Adam Brady has joined me in the conquest for pure JavaScript Minecraft, adding a bunch of neat features and putting up with my ranting/pickiness in merging patches ;)

The github repository for the project is https://github.com/deoxxa/jsmc and there's a demo server running on fknsrs.biz:25565.

The support libraries I wrote for this are dissolve (https://github.com/deoxxa/dissolve, for parsing binary data, hat tip to SubStack's node-binary) and concentrate (https://github.com/deoxxa/concentrate for producing binary data).

I'd love to hear what people think of this, so let me know!

Thanks,

Conrad
