MCServer is a performant C++ Minecraft server designed for use in memory and cpu-limited places, or just to make regular server perform better.

MCServer can run on PCs, Macs, and *nix. This includes android phones and tablets as well as Raspberry Pis.

To install MCServer, you can either download the repository and compile it, or download a pre-compiled version.

After you've cloned the repository, you probably want to pull down the submodules (core plugins, some dependencies). This can be achieved with git submodule init and then on a regular basis (to keep up to date) git submodule update.

Compilation instructions are available in the COMPILING file.

Linux builds can be downloaded from the Berboe CI server and windows from xoft's nightly build service.

After you've extracted the files, simply run the MCServer executable.

MCServer is licensed under the Apache license V2, and we welcome anybody to fork and submit a Pull Request back with their changes, and if you want to join as a permanent member we can add you to the team.
