# Welcome to the Tachyon book

{% hint style="info" %}
Tachyon is still in extremely early stages of development. Despite the API being complete it's still not reached the end goals we have for the project. If you have some features to suggest or some changes please join our [Discord](https://discord.gg/8qqJWKxE) server
{% endhint %}

## Overview

Tachyon is a fast, lightweight, multi-threaded Minecraft 1.8.8 server implementation that utilizes practically no code provided by Mojang. It offers extreme flexibility and a high-level API to easily develop features.

## Get Started

Here are some quick links you can access to easily understand functionality provided by Tachyon and how to integrate it to your server.
