Pumpkin is a Minecraft server implementation written entirely in Rust, supporting both Java and Bedrock Edition clients with vanilla game mechanics. It emphasizes performance through multi-threading, low memory usage, and fast startup, with a plugin API for extensibility.
Use cases
- host a fast minecraft server
- run a minecraft server without java
- host a java and bedrock cross-play server
- run a low-memory minecraft server on a cheap vps
- develop plugins for a rust minecraft server
- self-host a minecraft server with docker
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, fast-starting Minecraft server without a Java runtime
- you need built-in Java and Bedrock cross-play
- you want to experiment with or contribute to a Rust-based server implementation
When to avoid
- you need full vanilla parity or complete feature coverage like redstone and combat
- you rely on the Bukkit/Paper plugin ecosystem
- you need a battle-tested server for a large production server
