What is voxels?

voxels-core is a comprehensive collection of utilities and abstractions to streamline Minecraft server-side modding by simplifying the overall development process and making it more enjoyable and less error-prone. This project is part of the larger WarpedVoxels initiative, but can be used independently.

Minecraft server-side modding in Kotlin is incredibly powerful, although existing tools and APIs often lack the flexibility and seamless integration needed to fully leverage the power of the language. This project aims to fill the gap between the two, providing a solid foundation for any Minecraft project that uses the base game core features to build upon.

The primary focus of this project is on modularity and tight integration with Kotlin's modern ecosystem, including, but not limited to, kotlinx.coroutines, kotlinx.serialization, and Jetpack Compose.

Who is using voxels?

WarpedVoxels is an open-source free-to-play network of Minecraft servers licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 license. It strives to make your Minecraft experience as fun, unique, and enjoyable as possible by using the limited resources the base game has to offer.

Documentation

The documentation should be a key aspect of any project. For this reason, at voxels-core we prioritize top-notch documentation that is easy to read and understand and delves into the reasoning behind the design decisions.

You can find the documentation on ou GitHub Pages website thanks to the Dokka documentation engine and GitHub Actions.

Status of the project

voxels-core is currently in its early development stages, and there is much work to be done. As such, expect breaking changes and potential instability until the project reaches a stable version.
