Cool. I really like the idea. I wonder how a Haskell version would compare in performance.

I've wanted a leaner and simpler multiplayer Minecraft for some time.



During an early stage of development, I ran minetest on OpenBSD on a netbook with Atom N450. It ran smoothly with a low-ish view distance.

Last I checked, Minecraft was nonfree and depended on some binaries plus did an OS check, so running it on OpenBSD would've been a nonstarter.

I'm sure performance on N450 would've been miserable too; if it could run at all with just 1G of RAM.


The out-of-box experience is pretty minimalistic. You want to install some plugins to get some wildlife.
