minetest-protocol

Pure Rust implementation of the Minetest protocol.

Supported functionality:

• Serialization & deserialization of packets and commands
• Minetest commands as strongly-typed struct's and enums
• The peer protocol
  • Channels
  • Packet splitting & split packet reconstruction
  • Reliable packet retries & ACK tracking
  • peer_id tracking

This is a library and does not contain any programs. For an example of how to use this library, see the minetest-shark crate.

Work in progress

• Documentation is incomplete & unreviewed.

• Protocol versioning not handled yet. Only the latest protocol version (41) is supported.

• Only tested against minetest revision 2dafce6206dfcf02f3c31cf1abe819e901489704. May not work yet with 5.6.1 release.

• Some commands have extra nesting (e.g. Wrapped16). These will be hidden by macros in the future.

• Reliable packet delivery transmission window size is fixed for now.

• Non-reliable split reconstruction timeout not enabled yet.
