rust_mc_proto

lightweight minecraft packets protocol support in pure rust
has compression (MinecraftConnection::set_compression)
all types of packets you can find on wiki.vg
on crates on github

how to use it

for reference:

pub type MCConn<T> = MinecraftConnection<T>;
pub type MCConnTcp = MinecraftConnection<TcpStream>;

example of receiving motd: (cargo run --example recv_motd)

use rust_mc_proto::{Packet, ProtocolError, MCConnTcp, DataBufferReader, DataBufferWriter};

/*

    Example of receiving motd from the server
    Sends handshake, status request and receiving one

*/

fn send_handshake(conn: &mut MCConnTcp,
                protocol_version: u16,
                server_address: &str,
                server_port: u16,
                next_state: u8) -> Result<(), ProtocolError> {
    let mut packet = Packet::empty(0x00);

    packet.write_u16_varint(protocol_version)?;
    packet.write_string(server_address)?;
    packet.write_unsigned_short(server_port)?;
    packet.write_u8_varint(next_state)?;

    conn.write_packet(&packet)?;

    Ok(())
}

fn send_status_request(conn: &mut MCConnTcp) -> Result<(), ProtocolError> {
    let packet = Packet::empty(0x00);
    conn.write_packet(&packet)?;

    Ok(())
}

fn read_status_response(conn: &mut MCConnTcp) -> Result<String, ProtocolError> {
    let mut packet = conn.read_packet()?;

    packet.read_string()
}

fn main() {
    let mut conn = MCConnTcp::connect("localhost:25565").unwrap();

    send_handshake(&mut conn, 765, "localhost", 25565, 1).unwrap();
    send_status_request(&mut conn).unwrap();

    let motd = read_status_response(&mut conn).unwrap();

    println!("Motd: {}", motd);
}

example of simple server that only send motd and ping (cargo run --example status_server)

use std::{net::TcpListener, sync::{Arc, Mutex}, thread};

use rust_mc_proto::{DataBufferReader, DataBufferWriter, MCConn, MCConnTcp, MinecraftConnection, Packet, ProtocolError};

/*

    Example of simple server that sends motd 
    to client like a vanilla minecraft server

*/

            break;
        }
    }

    conn.close();

    Ok(())
}

fn main() {
    let server = MinecraftServer::new(
        "localhost", 
        25565, 
        765,
        "{}" // TODO: write real motd
    );

    let addr = server.server_ip.clone() + ":" + &server.server_port.to_string();
    let listener = TcpListener::bind(addr).unwrap();
    let server = Arc::new(Mutex::new(server));

    for stream in listener.incoming() {
        let stream = stream.unwrap();
        let local_server = server.clone();

        thread::spawn(move || {
            accept_client(MinecraftConnection::new(stream), local_server).unwrap();
        });
    }
}

also you can get minecraft connection from any stream: MinecraftConnection::from_stream

I think this crate can be used for a server on rust idk -_-
