A Minecraft server implementation in Rust
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer

Contributions summary:Kalle primarily contributed to the `libcraft` project, a Minecraft server implementation written in Rust. Their work focused on creating derive macros for the `BlockData` trait and implementing these macros to generate properties for different block types. Furthermore, they refactored the project by moving generators for blocks, items, particles, entities, and biomes into separate crates, thereby modularizing the project structure. This indicates a strong understanding of Rust and its macro system while improving code organization.
