knot
A Minetest proxy designed to facilitate linking multiple servers together with a powerful lua plugin API.
This provides a few use-cases:
- Multi-dimensions through the use of multiple servers
- Cross-server communication for plugins/mods.
- And many more.
Installation
To get started, clone this repo and run the following command:
cargo install
Running knot
Starting knot will create a default config.toml in the current working directory.
Knot will then begin to listen to new connections on 0.0.0.0:30001 and forward clients to 127.0.0.1:30000 as the default lobby server.
