Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 Server implemented in PHP/HHVM.

HHVMCraft

Works on PHP 7.0.0 RC6 and HHVM 3.10.1!

A Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 Server implemented in PHP, based off of Truecraft's implementation.

The goal of this project is not to be a fully-functional server, but rather a proof-of-concept for PHP and HHVM.

Installation?

You need composer!

composer install

and

php server.php or hhvm server.php!

Make sure you're using the b1.7.3 client! Check the Allow use of Old Beta Minecraft Versions.

Why?

This is a little coding exercise/project, it's not intended to be a serious application. :)

As you can tell, this is not the most performant implementation. It's being developed in a way that's fast to code, and readable.

I am also not a PHP programmer, nor do I know much about socket programming! ;)

So if you have any comments, please feel free to create an issue.
