to make it open source presumably using non clean room reverse engineering
to make it open source presumably using non clean room reverse engineering
Talthough in my case there will be no server, only a singleplayer simulation
Lyou do know the modern deobfuscation maps are released under a decently permissive license
right?
right?
Mbut you can't look at decompiled code
Mthat's not clean room
Mthat's illegal
KBut yeah at that point just rewrite the protocol and server too so people can actually host servers on xeons and not have 99% of the cores go unused
Myeah the protocol sucks ass
Mnbt sucks ass
Tnot really
Lyea people have done exactly that
Lin C# too
Lobsidian it was called i think?
Mmy friend made that
Lnbt is fine
Mit's the same protocol though
Lprotocol is fine
Mit's a server reimplementation
MGitHub
A C# implementation of the Minecraft server protocol. - GitHub - ObsidianMC/Obsidian: A C# implementation of the Minecraft server protocol.
KNow we just need to add mod support or compatibility via some kind of java voodoo, and we can live happily ever after
LIKVM :^)
Mthe bukkit api is basically isolated from minecraft's actual internals
Pstill up on GitHub too
Mwhat is
PBukkits API
Myeah it's not illegal
Mthey made some weird deal with mojang
PSo CraftBukkit is illegal
Pbut regular Bukkit isn’t
Mcraftbukkit nowadays works the same way forge mdk does, decompiles your server and patches it
Pbut regular Bukkit is just an API contract and isn’t an implementation
KI hate that like... everything involving minecraft and modding is weirdly illegal in some way
Mmodding is on a super thin strand of legality
Awhy does minecraft have like 100 different mod managers
Mdrama
Mand legacy reasons
Lthe minecraft modding community is a complete and utter disaster in every conceivable way
Mbukkit came before forge
Pit wasn’t illegal until some major contributor didn’t know that Mojang bought the entire Bukkit team out and they subsequently decided to pull the rights to their code
Kthey did wh0t
Myeah they hired everyone
Aidk, the only mod i have ever used is optifine and even then that's a recent thing
from what i have seen though yeah modding looks horrible both to use and to develop
from what i have seen though yeah modding looks horrible both to use and to develop
Mthe optifine dev is also a real scumbag
Loptifine is old
Astill seems to be updated tho?
Lyes
Lbut yes, optifine dev is bad
Moptifine used to be called optimine in the beta days
Pbut yeah Bukkit and Spigot are totally in violation of the DMCA act, there’s a reason they’ve got their own stash instance hosted on Romanian servers
KI love that basically every single "optifine makes this mod crash" gets a borderline autoresponse of "lol idc"
KFrom the optifine dev
