For years the video game Minecraft has stood as a testing ground for different technologies, but a recent milestone shows that even though some programming languages are more than 60 years old, anything is possible.
The user meyfa recently published a new achievement, through which you have managed to run a Minecraft server using COBOL.
COBOL is a programming language focused on businesses, which is more than 60 years old.
Best of all, this version of Minecraft It works without problems, and supports most of the basic functions of the game.
The project is called CobolCraft and supports features such as infinite terrain generation, world importing, inventory management, basic block functionality, and more.
It also supports multiplayer for up to 10 people, including chat option, server status updates, basic server settings, and much more.
You will find the basic elements of Minecraft, although it is unknown if it is capable of supporting some more modern elements released in recent years.
It should be noted that this server is designed for Linux and has not been tested on Windows.
The language COBOL It is in decline, but it had quite a boom at the end of the last century.
Obviously, being a programming language that is more than 60 years old, it has been surpassed by more modern ones that are focused on artificial intelligence issues.
In any case, the COBOL programming language is still present in a multitude of business systems, and millions of commercial transactions are carried out through it today.
