Copyright (c) 2010-2011, The Mineserver Project

Custom Minecraft Beta server software written in C++.

NOTICE

Currently in development. Server still lacks some features and might have some serious bugs.

Tested to build on

Windows (VS2010 and VS2008 projects included)
Linux
Mac OS X
FreeBSD / PCBSD

We are trying to minimize memory and CPU usage compared to original Java server.

Important: The language is C++98 with STL/TR1 library support, so you will need a reasonably modern C++ compiler. MS Visual C++ 10 and GCC 4.4 should be sufficient. The build system requires cmake.

Features

Plugins (chatcommands, filelog, nether, passivemobs, etc..)
NBT parsing/saving
Lightmap generation
Config file
Normal mining/item spawning/item pickups
Basic physics for gravel and sand
Physics for water (currently revising this)
Flatland and terrain map generation (Also biomegen!)
Working chests, furnaces & signs

Configuration Notes

All runtime configuration of mineserver begins with the config file. This file is searched for in the following order:

A single non-option argument (not starting with '+' or '-') is tried as a filename.
(Debug build only:) A file named config.cfg is searched in the same directory as the executable.
(The canonical location:) A file named config.cfg is searched for in $HOME/.mineserver (Unix-style) or %APPDATA%\Mineserver (Windows).

An example config.cfg file is located in the files subdirectory.

The config file sets three path names and one file name which are relevant to the server; with their example values they are:

system.path.data    = "~/.mineserver/files";
system.path.plugins = "~/.mineserver/plugins";
system.path.home    = "~/.mineserver";
system.pid_file     = "mineserver.pid";

These paths may be either absolute (as in the first three examples) or relative (as in the last case). A path is absolute if it starts with a path separator or a tilde; otherwise it is relative. (Drive letters for Windows will have to be incorporated eventually.) Relative paths are relative to the location of the config file!

The server requires a set of configuration files which are located in the files subdirectory of the distribution. The program contains rudimentary logic to copy some of those files, but this is incomplete at present and you must ensure manually that those config files are copied into the directory pointed to by your config file, or you must set the path parameters to the directory in your source distribution. The same applies to the plugin binaries, which you must place in the appropriate location for the server to find them.

To Do / Roadmap

Please check the [Mineserver wiki]((http://www.mineserver.be/wiki) for details about the project status and development plans. Check the fork network for the latest development status.

Compiling (Better instructions in wiki)

Mineserver requires the following libraries:

Configuring the build with CMake: CMake can configure some aspects of the build and how it should instruct make to install mineserver.

To set a CMake variable, add an argument to CMake's command line in the form: -DVARIABLE=VALUE or -DVARIABLE:TYPE=VALUE (the latter form is most useful for packagers and is optional).

A (non-exhaustive) list of CMake variables is below.

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
CONFIG_DIR_BIN
CONFIG_DIR_ETC
CONFIG_DIR_LIB

The optional TYPE parameter can be one of: BOOL, PATH, FILEPATH or STRING.

Compiling using Linux (cmake & make & g++):

Download and extract source or use git clone git://github.com/fador/mineserver.git
Go to mineserver directory
Run cmake .
Run make all install
Run server with cd bin && ./mineserver

Compiling using FreeBSD / PCBSD (cmake & gmake & g++):

Download and extract source or use git clone git://github.com/fador/mineserver.git
Go to mineserver directory
Run cmake .
Run gmake all install
Run server with cd bin && ./mineserver

Compiling using Windows (VS2010/VS2008): (Might be outdated)

Download and compile zlib or use pre-built binaries
Add zlib libraries to project (zlibstat.lib or zlibwapi.lib which requires also zlibwapi.dll in the same dir with the executable)
Download and compile libevent
Download libnoise 1.0 and add header/library files to project
Add libevent library to project (libevent.lib)
Build
Run mineserver.exe

An example using commandline compiler available at http://www.microsoft.com/express/Windows/ Please change the ZLIB_INC_DIR, LIBEVENT_INC_DIR, ZLIB_LIB_DIR and LIBEVENT_LIB_DIR to those you keep the includes/libs.
