Pumpkin

Pumpkin is an open-source Minecraft server implementation written entirely in the Rust programming language with the goal of delivering high performance, efficiency, and modern architecture for hosting multiplayer worlds. Unlike the original Java-based server, Pumpkin focuses on leveraging Rust’s memory safety and performance advantages to create a fast and stable server environment. The project aims to replicate the core mechanics and gameplay of Minecraft while providing a flexible foundation for customization and optimization. Its architecture emphasizes efficient networking, resource management, and scalability, allowing servers to handle more players with reduced system overhead. Pumpkin is designed to be approachable for developers and server administrators who want to run Minecraft servers with improved performance and modern tooling.
