Dunno, but it has been under development for longer and seems to have the same goals so I was wondering why the creator made a new one or if he/she was unaware of the existence of mineserver. From the downvotes I've got I take it that such a discussion isn't welcome around here though.

I'd sure welcome the discussion. Not that I know, but perhaps the downvotes were due to it coming across like you think this project shouldn't exist, without any justification beyond that another project exists that is similar. Some might disagree with you because they believe, contrary to your apparent position, that diversity in options outweighs the fragmentation of effort that competing projects bring. Others might be wary of how you seemed dismissive of this project without any explanation as to why the other is more deserved of attention. I personally would love to hear about any thoughts you have comparing the two, particularly around technical underpinnings, development community, adoption, and feature completion. It's been a while since I dove into the belly of the MC server and am very interested in how current open source efforts are tracking.

MCServer is actually an older project than mineserver, it was originally created in 2011 by FakeTruth.

  Both projects seem to be quite mature, but according to the git history, mineserver is older. The first commit of mineserver was on Oct. 12, 2010. https://github.com/fador/mineserver/commit/399bca07f66b2882b3907d6a721bb3245bd26503 https://github.com/fador/mineserver/commit/399bca07f66b2882b... The first MCServer commit was about a year later, on Oct. 3, 2011. https://github.com/mc-server/MCServer/commit/cc2b15a2335db9a2c1f2e8549b028b179b105a1a https://github.com/mc-server/MCServer/commit/cc2b15a2335db9a...

    Though I'm not completely sure which one is older, MCServer was closed source for a while, so there are no commits before that time.

It isn't relevant which is older, or who was aware of what. There isn't some kind of rule which says that people can't start projects which are similar to other projects.
