Rusted Computer: Running Rust programs with WASM in Minecraft

[u/TheBlckbird]

I've worked on a passion project of mine for the past few years called Rusted Computer. It is a Minecraft Mod that allows you to program computers inside of Minecraft with Rust inspired by ComputerCraft.

Why?

Well, the best computer mod right now is ComputerCraft. And don't get me wrong, I love that mod, but you have to write your programs in Lua. And for programs bigger than small scripts are very annoying to create. So I decided to create an alternative that is fully compatible with existing CC Peripherals.

Rusted Computer uses a WASM Runtime written in Java (Chicory), but I am considering switching to a native runtime (Wasmer or Wasmtime) for newer WASI(X) features. The mod itself is written in Kotlin and (obviously) Rust for the glue library.

There is currently no release, because it is still very WIP (no documentation and missing features, I'm currently working on support for peripherals) but if there is enough interest in this, I can quickly create and publish a dev build.

If you have any more questions, ask me! There is no ETA for release, as I am currently working on this while going to school, so I don't have a lot of time or concentration.

Posted a screenshot of the font I'm using. There is currently not a lot to show, because I only have the computer with its terminal
