SharpMC

About

Minecraft is a sandbox game by Mojang Studios, publicly released in November 2011 after an early-access alpha begun in 2009, and later ported to numerous platforms. SharpMC is a Minecraft server implementation written in C#, supporting protocol #47 (Minecraft 1.8.x) with its own custom world format, multiworld support, and partial physics/entity implementations. It runs natively on Windows and via Mono on Mac/Linux, and is scriptable through C# plugins. Its goal is to be an alternative to Spigot/Bukkit/Sponge, though the author says that's unlikely given limited development time.

How it differs from the original

It reimplements the Minecraft server protocol from scratch in C# with its own custom world format, rather than building on the official Java server or Bukkit/Spigot codebases, and supports only protocol #47 (1.8.x).

Getting started

A precompiled build is available as a direct download; run it as a standard Minecraft server that any protocol #47 (1.8.x)-compatible client can connect to.
