Overview

Dustworks began in 2014 as a private project in the sandbox game Minecraft. Later, this project spanned to the public, where players all over the world contributed to building a virtual city. Over the years, members have built suburbs, parks, subways, and many other things in a typical urban environment. Although the Dustworks project is incomplete, it has officially ended.

The downloaded files contain a version of the server files that have been stripped and optimized so that anyone may host a copy of the server for their own viewing or usage. Additionally, a texture pack is provided for the intended experience. No hosted server may assume the role of an official Dustworks build server. These files are provided as-is, and the Dustworks Build Team does not take any responsibility and is not liable for any damage that occurs as a result of these files.
