Show HN: Pumpkin – A Modern Minecraft server written in Rust

Love the idea. Especially as a learning example. Always fun to learn a language by implementing a popular game.

Am confused by these two lines. Maybe it is just difference between the 'goal' and the 'current state'.

Goal:

"Compatibility: Supports the latest Minecraft server version and adheres to vanilla game mechanics. "

But NOT:

"Be a drop-in replacement for vanilla or other servers "

Will it be a replacement for Vanilla or not?

Hey, With Compatibility i mean be compatible with existing Minecraft vanilla client's and also use vanilla logic. With "Be a drop-in replacement for vanilla or other servers" i mean that if you just replace the existing server file with pumpkin, pumpkin will not load configs/plugins from vanilla/other servers
