MCServer
========

MCServer is a performant C++ Minecraft server designed for use in memory and cpu-limited places, or just to make regular server perform better.

MCServer can run on PCs, Macs, and *nix. This includes android phones and tablets as well as Raspberry Pis. 

Installation
------------

To install MCServer, you can either download the repository and compile it, or download a pre-compiled version.

After you've cloned the repository, you probably want to pull down the submodules (core plugins, some dependencies). This can be achieved with `git submodule init` and then on a regular basis (to keep up to date) `git submodule update`.

Compilation instructions are available in the COMPILING file.

Linux builds can be downloaded from [the Berboe CI server](http://ci.berboe.co.uk) and windows from xoft's [nightly build service](http://mc-server.xoft.cz).

After you've extracted the files, simply run the MCServer executable.
