BlockServer is a free, open-source Minecraft: PE server software.
If you download BlockServer only, yes. But if you inject extra code into BlockServer, new protocols will be registered in the server software and it can support players connecting from any protocols, including non-minecraft protocols.
Unfortunately, no. Currently, BlockServer is still in early development stage that cannot work yet (due to a recent rewrite). We expect it to be easily usable soon, however.
-
If you download an archived
.jar
file, you can run the jar directly with thejava -jar <jar file>
command. -
If you download the source, you have to compile the source files at
/src/main/java
first. The following extra libraries are required to run BlockServer:- BlockServer-IO-Lib, which can be downloaded here.
- log4j2 core and API, which are included inside the repo in the
/lib
directory.
-
You can also compile the source using Maven. Maven will handle all the dependencies for you, no extra downloads needed. Then run
java org.blockserver.run
in the root folder where the compiled classes are contained in.
Of course yes! We need your help! However, before writing code, please read our contribution guidelines first.
