Roadmap

Where Link is going.

What works today, and what we are building next. Link is in beta, so plans can change. What you ask for shapes the order.

Shipped

In the current beta.

  1. Signed transfers

    /server moves a player with a pass that is signed, single use and expires in 30 seconds.

  2. Matchmaking

    /play picks a server in a group, filling games or spreading players over lobbies.

  3. Three registries

    A shared settings file, Redis, or a free Cloudflare Worker.

  4. Network view

    /servers, /players and /find show every server and who is on it.

  5. Java API

    Move and find players from your own plugins, with messages you can show them.

  6. Lobby-only game servers

    Send players who skip the lobby back to it.

Next

What we are working towards now.

  1. Minecraft support

    A Paper plugin, using the server transfers Minecraft added in 1.20.5. No proxy.

  2. Maven package

    Add Link's API to your build with one line instead of downloading the jar.

  3. Version 1.0

    A stable config format and API, after the beta.

Later

Ideas we want to build. Tell us what you need most.

  1. Parties

    Move a group of friends together, so they land on the same server.

  2. Queues

    Wait in line for a full game instead of getting a message.
