What is Dragonfly
Dragonfly is a server software for Minecraft that's powered by Go.
Dragonfly is intended to be used by developers rather than server owners, unlike other server software, most of the behavior has to be controlled by code.
Dragonfly is a library that has to be included by another program, where the actual logic would be controlled, altered and extended by the main program.
This differs in contrast to other Plug and Play server software, where the server exists as the main program that which includes user-provided plugins that allow the server's behavior to be modified.
Dragonfly on the other hand works as a library as opposed to a Plug and Play server, therefore it has no plugin system built-in.
This section covers the design philosophy of Dragonfly and it's differences from other server software, these details are mostly written for developers.
Dragonfly believes in abstraction of the packet layer, thus it does not provide any method to access the underlying packet layer, if there's a missing API for something you want, you are free to open an issue or a pull request.
Dragonfly does not have a traditional event handling system, instead a per-player handler can be registered to handle all actions originated from said player.
