I’ve released a new update for OpenJam’s Robocraft servers with lots of multiplayer bugfixes and a few new features as well. Robocraft was a vehicle combat sandbox MOBA which shut down official servers in January 2025. The OpenJam servers are a FOSS re-implementation of the official servers aiming for feature parity, though there’s still lots of missing features right now.

Since the last release there have a been a few organized events where full 5v5 and even 6v6 matches were played, which were quite fun. It’s been really cool to see the fruits of my labour on reverse-engineering the server functionality to get it to a point where we can play the full game again! Now I’m shifting my focus towards implementing in-game social features (friends, clans, parties, etc.) and server federation so the (currently only) four public servers aren’t so siloed.
