A stupid little Minecraft clone written in Rust, powered by the Bevy engine.

Features

• Custom Client / Server architecture using Renet
• Data serialization using bincode serde
• World update synchronization between game clients
• World physics using rapier
• World updates using primitive ray casting
• Modular architecture using ECS

Installation

Prerequisites

• Cargo

Default setup

Just run the cargo command to install the dependencies and start the game:

cargo run --bin server
cargo run --bin client

More optimal setup

Release Builds (for better performance):

cargo run --bin server --release
cargo run --bin client --release

Dynamic Linking (to reduce compile times):

cargo run --bin server --features dynamic_linking
cargo run --bin client --features dynamic_linking

Automatic Reloading (with cargo watch):

cargo watch -x 'run --bin server'
cargo watch -x 'run --bin client'

Installation on NixOS

Nix shell can be used to run the code using the given Nix Shell Config File. This will automatically install rust and the bevy dependencies. Strongly inspired by the Bevy NixOS installation guide

nix-shell --run "cargo run --bin server"
nix-shell --run "cargo run --bin client"
