Welcome to the BitCraftPublic Discussion Board

This space is for the BitCraft open source community to connect, share knowledge, and ask questions about the BitCraft server codebase.

The BitCraftPublic repository currently contains the server-side code for BitCraft, a community sandbox MMORPG developed by Clockwork Labs. We're releasing the server as part of a long-term plan to open up more of the BitCraft ecosystem to players and developers who want to learn from or build on the systems we’ve created.

We’re using Discussions to:

• Answer questions about how the server works
• Share tips and experiments from people running or modifying the code
• Talk about performance, architecture, or gameplay systems
• Explore potential community contributions (e.g. bug fixes or optimizations)
• Stay connected as the open source initiative evolves

Whether you’re here to build your own game inspired by our backend, poke around in the code, or just understand how BitCraft works behind the scenes — welcome.

You can also check out:

• BitCraft website
• BitCraft on Steam
• SpacetimeDB – the real-time database powering the BitCraft server
• SpacetimeDB Docs – if you're trying to run the server or build something on top of it

This is a community we build together — we’re glad you're here.

Saw this popup by chance, awesome surprise!

FYI the docs link for spacetimedb is not working

I haven't really dug into the code yet but would ask that a Getting Started doc or section is added. The readme encourages modification and local testing but there don't appear to be any instructions on how to actually test locally (like how to point a purchased copy of BitCraft at the local instance for testing) or build instructions w/ compiler tooling requirements.
