minecrevy_net

A Minecraft: Java Edition compatible networking library, powered by Bevy and Tokio.

Requirements

These requirements are a must to be compatible with the Minecraft: Java Edition protocol.

• Big-Endian over the network.
• Client-Server architecture.

Goals

• Embrace ECS: Client connections are stored as Entities. Connections are dropped when the entity is despawned.
• Performant: Scale up to many connections without breaking a sweat.
• Flexible: Handling N clients should be similarly easy to handling 1 client.
• Comprehensive: Support server-side networking, but also client-side networking.
