cuwo is an open server implementation for Cube World, written in Python. It currently has the best protocol coverage among all the server projects out there, and has features like

• Cross-platform support (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, what have you)
• Registration and Login system
• Console logging
• MOTD message
• Scripting (see scripts inside ./scripts directory)
• Advanced configuration
• Ban system
• AntiSpam system with burst
• Commands ... for players: * /register * /login * /list (also is showing classes and levels) * /tell * /whois [player] (shows class and level of you or another player) ... for admins: * /kick * /say * /setclock * /kill [player]
• SQLite database for storing permanent data
  • For faster access it is currently kept in memory
  • Asynchronous database queries for faster access/store
  • Using the R*Tree algorithm allows you to have millions of regions without performance issues
  • 3D regions, region groups and even region/regiongroup
  • triggers/events possible (on enter/leave region etc.)
  • Saves player data like ID, password hash (SHA224 with salt),
  • (last) online time, last IP connected with
  • Bans for both player IDs and IPs ... and more in future
• Lower CPU requirements than normal server
• Support for more players than you can get
• ... and much more!

• Each world in Cube World contains sectors and chunks
• Entities are saved in chunk objects
• Chunks are saved in world object

On Windows, see the quick-start guide for a quick way to get started.

On Linux/Mac OS X/FreeBSD/etc., make sure you have Python 2.7 and Twisted installed on your machine, then run run_server.sh.

In terms of gameplay, the following has been implemented:

• Player join/leave
• Player movement and animations
• Teleportation
• Magic/arrows/etc. relay
• Player hits on entities/other players
• Item pickup/drop
• Time management

A lot is still to be implemented gameplay-wise. Most importantly, NPCs and mobs have not been implemented yet. We still need to rip out the terrain generator, and once that's done, NPCs and mobs should be completely doable.

There is also a working MITM server that can inject packets. It's useful for reverse-engineering the protocol and can be used as an alternative to a standalone server.

There is also a working Cube World/Qubicle model converter. Find it in the 'tools' folder.

• Q. How do I pronounce 'cuwo'?

• A. 'coo-woo' (no, not 'kew-woh')

• Q. I am not a programmer, and I can't reverse-engineer anything. How do I help?

• A. We need people who can create end-user documentation as well! Have a look around, and see if anything is missing in the wiki.

• Q. What is a MITM server?

• A. A MITM server sits between your client and server, and can manipulate and inject packets. It's not really useful for the normal user, so use the regular cuwo server instead.
