Introduction
-------------
Cloudburst is a server software for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.
It has a few key advantages over other server software:
* Written in Java, Cloudburst is faster and more stable.
* Having a friendly structure, it's easy to contribute to Cloudburst's development and rewrite plugins from other platforms into Cloudburst plugins.
Cloudburst is **under improvement**, yet we welcome contributions.
