Minecraft-server is a project mainly written in JAVA and PYTHON, it's free.
This is a decompilation of the Minecraft Server, for experimental purposes only.
I love Minecraft and I love Java so it's only natural for me to want to peek under the hood and see how it works. There is also a large community interested in modding.
I felt the current situation involving partially decompiled and heavily obfuscated code was far less than ideal. Many of the mods have severe bugs that I could help resolve, if the full source for the server was visible.
This is an attempt to rectify the situation. As of now I have fully reversed the class files into compilable java source. The server starts and runs, however there are still issues so don't expect this to work as-is. I could use some help tracking down mistakes I may have made.
