Writing a Minecraft server from scratch in Bash (2022)

As someone who's done a lot of work with scriptable Minecraft servers for both Java and Bedrock (ScraM), this is impressive. Bonus points for using "duckduckgoing" in a sentence.

This website is the one of the rare times where safari’s reader mode that changes the font was super nice to read.

Just wondering, but is writing custom servers for commercial games still a thing?

A negative power, i.e. 2^(-n) is just 1/(2^n). I'm surprised the author didn't remember that with their own 2^-1 = 0.5 example and eventually reached out to awk for it.

They should have used my (dumb?) library, ctypes.sh:

Then they can access libm, poll(), select() and so on from bash :)
