# MinecraftLightServer

This is a Proof of Concept of a simple Minecraft server written in Go, that has a simple multiplayer world.

## Version

This server actually supports only Minecraft 1.16.5 clients.

## Purpose

This is a very simple server, which can help those who are making one to better understand how the basic things that compose it interact with each other.

## Thanks

This project was inspired by:

- [ESP32 Minecraft Server](https://github.com/nikisalli/esp32-minecraft-server), a very simple Minecraft server written in C for the ESP32 development board.

- [Go-mc](https://github.com/Tnze/go-mc), a Minecraft library written in Go.

- [wiki vg](https://wiki.vg/Protocol), a website that has the documentation for every Minecraft package.

Everything has been adapted and rewritten to make code easy to understand.
