Go Minecraft Bridge

Go Minecraft Bridge hosts plugins written in Go in both Minecraft server and client processes. The Minecraft-facing code stays in Java, while plugin logic receives immutable snapshots/events and returns actions or named system calls.

The shared code is built as two version-specific Fabric artifacts:

Architectury Loom drives the portable 1.21.1 target, with a small source overlay for Minecraft API differences. The unobfuscated 26.1.2 target uses Fabric Loom because Architectury Loom currently requires a mappings artifact that this Minecraft distribution does not publish. Architectury portability still produces one JAR per Minecraft ABI; it does not make one universal JAR.

The current MVP also targets:

• Go 1.24 or newer;
• native Go plugins built with -buildmode=c-shared;
• initialization, server/client tick, chat, death, system-call-result, and deinitialization callbacks;
• entity snapshots and explicit subscriptions to block positions;
• chat broadcast/direct-message actions;
• extensible namespaced system calls;
• capture of Go stdout, stderr, and the standard log package;
• FlatBuffers tick snapshots (ABI v2), while control-plane messages remain JSON;
• a Cloth Config management screen exposed through Mod Menu.

The backend interface is deliberately independent from Fabric and native FFI so that a WASI/WASM backend can implement the same protocol later.

The server runtime is also packaged as one Paper plugin compatible with Paper and Purpur. Its Bukkit-facing code is compiled during every build against this API matrix:

The Paper API preserves the Bukkit surface used by the bridge, so these targets share one Java 21 bytecode JAR. Purpur accepts it directly because Purpur is a Paper-compatible server implementation.
