FerrumC is a Minecraft 1.21.8 server implementation written from scratch in Rust, using async concurrency for high performance and memory efficiency. It is currently an early offline-mode alpha focused on creative and minigame servers, with a major v2 rewrite in progress.

Use cases

• run a lightweight minecraft server in rust
• host a creative or minigame server for minecraft 1.21.8
• import an existing vanilla minecraft world into a custom server
• write rust plugins to control what players can build
• monitor a minecraft server from a local web dashboard
• experiment with a high-performance multithreaded minecraft protocol implementation

When to choose

• you want a fast, memory-efficient minecraft server written in rust
• you run creative or minigame servers and don't need survival gameplay
• you want to hack on a minecraft server implementation or write rust plugins
• you prefer an open-source, MIT-licensed alternative to vanilla or Paper

When to avoid

• you need a stable, vanilla-accurate survival server - use Paper or Spigot instead
• you need online-mode authentication or full feature parity with vanilla
• you need production-ready software with mature documentation
• you want a drop-in replacement for your existing server setup
