Quiver

A Minecraft server written in Go, targeting protocol version 4 (1.7.2 / 1.7.4 / 1.7.5, post-Netty rewrite).

Architecture

Quiver is built on a custom archetype-based Entity Component System (ECS). Every game object — players, mobs, blocks, items — is an entity composed of data-only components, processed by stateless systems each tick (20 TPS).

A built-in web dashboard (templ + HTMX) provides real-time visibility into the ECS: browse entities, inspect and edit component values live, and monitor server metrics via Prometheus.
