Minestom – An open-source, lightweight Minecraft server built from the ground up

I know this is a matter of taste and therefore controversial, but I really hoped this was going to be written in Rust or Golang, rather than Java. It does look really nice though, and I was pleased to see an example demo in the code and pro/cons of this directly on the readme.

From their README:<p>Minestom is an open-source library that enables developers to create their own Minecraft server software, without any code from Mojang.<p>The main difference between Mojang&#x27;s vanilla server and a minestom-based server, is that ours does not contain any features by default! However, we have a complete API which is designed to allow you to make anything possible, with ease.<p>This is a developer API not meant to be used by end-users.<p>---<p>I believe the target audience is people developing non-vanilla&#x2F;survival multiplayer servers, like minigames, PvP duels, etc.

When am I meant to reach for this over Fabric or Paper? Does redstone operate like vanilla?
