BNes Fork (NES on Minecraft servers)
Runs NES games on in-world arcade machines in Minecraft Paper servers, drawing frames on map items with synced controls and Plasmo Voice audio.
What it does
A community-maintained Paper plugin that embeds the Nestalgia NES emulator inside a Minecraft server. Players create a console with /bnes create, hang the generated map on a wall, sit on a chair and right-click to join (up to two players); Minecraft movement and clicks map to NES buttons, game frames are sent as map data (PacketEvents, ProtocolLib or Paper fallbacks) and NES audio is streamed through Plasmo Voice. Users supply their own ROMs. It continues MoeWhite19/BNes, itself based on halfnes.
How it works
Paper plugin embedding the Nestalgia NES emulator and rendering frames onto Minecraft map items
Requirements & limitations
Java 21 and a Paper 1.21.1 (or compatible) server; Plasmo Voice server plugin plus client mod for sound; optional PacketEvents, ProtocolLib and Vault; your own NES ROMs.
