A fast and extensible C++ implementation of Minecraft's server.
This project is before anything a school project, therefore it is in its early stage and not a lot works for now. Most of the stuff made here could also already exists somewhere else but reimplemented here for the sake of having something to work on. I would therefore not recommend anyone using it for now, but contributions are more than welcome ;).
The version currently targeted is 1.19.3, but future versions may be implemented depending on how well Cubic Server gets developed.
The principal points we want to target are better performances, since Minecraft's server performance is going downhill since 1.13, but also proper extensibility without needing a third-party to implement changes into the server downstream (Such as spigot for example).
Precompiled binaries are currently available here.
You can also use the docker-compose file to run the server using docker.
See Building section to know how to compile the server.
Currently only Linux x86_64 and FreeBSD are targeted, it might build on another system but it isn't guaranted for now.
Here is the list of dependencies required to build CubicServer:
- gcc12/g++12 or clang15/clang++15 (Minimum versions, above should work too, but below will definitely not)
- cmake (The build system)
- make (Building system, you might work without but it is not tested)
- pkgconf (Cmake package shenanigans)
- git (Cloning deps)
- libcurl-dev (Calling the Mojang API)
- wget (For the bootstrap script)
- python3 (Generating code)
- zlib-dev (Compression)
- boost-dev (Optional, will be cloned and built here if not present)
To install those dependencies you can see an example for Fedora 38 from our build image
To build follow those steps :
git clone https://github.com/CubicMC/cubic-server
cd cubic-server
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE ..
make -j `nproc` # The "-j `nproc`" is here to speed-up the compilationTo build with docker follow those steps :
git clone https://github.com/CubicMC/cubic-server
cd cubic-server
docker build --tag cubic-server .
docker compose upAny contributions are welcome, if you don't know what to do you can take a look at our issues tab and start talking in one of them to contribute :D.
