CobolCraft is a Minecraft server written in COBOL supporting the latest version, with features like infinite terrain generation, multiplayer, and block interaction. Developing on Linux with GnuCOBOL, it can also run on Windows using Docker. The unconventional project aims to debunk rumors about COBOL and challenges with data manipulation in Minecraft protocols. The program is constructed with COBOL sources, TCP socket management in CBL_GC_SOCKET, and network data decoding from official server applications. Legalities include MIT licensing and non-affiliation with Mojang. A unique venture into COBOL for Minecraft enthusiasts with resources and a guide provided for newcomers.
