Spout - Spout Wiki

Spout is an upcoming server/client software, written from the ground up (not a server mod like CraftBukkit). It is not focused on Minecraft; focusing instead on a general framework for voxel-based games. The Minecraft implementation of it is in the Vanilla plugin , which you will read more about below. Spout is a multiplatform game engine written in Java. Spout is multithreaded at its core, and designed for "Voxel" or 3D tile-based games, like Minecraft, Infiniminer, etc. Spout has no game code in it, however it is very extendable through the use of SpoutAPI and plugins. Plugins can be used to create full, standalone games, mods of those games, or utilities for managing servers or games, all through the same API.
