Building from Source

  • Install Rust
  • Clone the repository
  • Run cargo build --release
  • The executable will be located in target/release

Note for server owners:

When the launcher updates itself on Windows it will restart by spawning a new console. If you are automating this process, you should probably use --skip-launcher-update and download the latest launcher yourself from here.

The linux build does not update itself.
