Grasscutter
A server software reimplementation for a certain anime game
Grasscutter is an open-source Java server reimplementation for a certain anime-style online game, created for private server emulation and research. It uses Java 17, MongoDB, and Gradle, and it has an ecosystem that includes documentation, a launcher, plugins, and community tooling. The project allows users to run a compatible server environment for specific supported game client versions, but it is not actively maintained in the same way it once was. Current documentation warns that version matching matters and that support is limited, especially beyond the older supported release range. Grasscutter is most relevant to developers interested in reverse engineering, server emulation, game protocol research, and modding communities. Because it interacts with proprietary game clients and services, it should be used only in lawful, authorized, and non-commercial contexts. -

Skynet
A lightweight online game framework
Skynet is a lightweight online game framework which can be used in many other fields. Skynet is a lightweight framework designed for online game servers. Although from the feedback of the Community , it's not limited as a game server framework. On the Uses page, it shows a few projects that have used or currently using Skynet, but there are way more projects than listed. And welcome to be the next user. For Linux, install autoconf first for jemalloc. For FreeBSD , use gmake instead of make. Skynet now uses a modified version of lua 5.4.2 for multiple lua states. Official Lua versions can also be used as long as the Makefile is edited. With Socket API and SocketChannel , which makes it easier to implement socket pool and reconnect, you can use Skynet to call socket even asynchronously. Skynet doesn't force a specific protocol, you can come up with your own design. -

LinuxGSM
The command-line tool for quick, simple deployment and management
LinuxGSM is the command-line tool for quick, simple deployment and management of Linux dedicated game servers. Traditionally game servers are not easy to manage yourself. Admins often have to spend hours messing around trying to get their server working. LinuxGSM is a command-line tool designed to be as simple as possible, allowing admins to spend less time on management and more time gaming. LinuxGSM will run on popular distros as long as the minimum requirements are met. Each game server has specific dependency requirements. Visit a specific game server installation page on the LinuxGSM website to check dependency requirements for the game server you want to install. LinuxGSM keeps itself and your game server updated. Using methods available from game developers to update including, SteamCMD, custom JSON or file archives, LinuxGSM can make sure you are running the latest version of your game server. -

Gamer's Proxy
Proxy for games that emulates network conditions like ping and lag.
Ever played a competitive game with a friend in which one of you hosted the server on their own machine? Ever thought that it's unfair that one person's ping is zero and the other one's is 80? This is an open-source program that can emulate constant ping, ping spikes and packet losses. Download, extract wherever you want, launch the executable and read the instructions that are conveniently placed in the main window of the program. This program allows gamers to fake their ping and packet loss. Only games which allow direct IP connections are supported - this program will not emulate the game server and will not advertise itself on any master server of any game. The idea is this: game client -> proxy -> game server Demonstration video: http://youtu.be/2VWNhmfD1Qk -
