Experimental
Alpha runtime for addon testing and lightweight execution.
The Standalone Runtime is an experimental alpha environment for running ECHO addons outside NeoForge. It is perfect for rapid addon development, automated testing, and headless server scenarios.
The Standalone Runtime is not a replacement for the full game. APIs may change. Saves may break. Use it for testing, prototyping, and learning the addon surface, not for production player experiences.
Capabilities
A focused runtime for focused work.
Run ECHO addons in a lightweight runtime that does not depend on the full Minecraft/NeoForge stack.
Validate addon behavior, lifecycle, and data schemas in isolation before targeting the full game.
Startup and reload times are significantly faster than a full Minecraft dev loop.
Run server-side logic and automated tests without a client or display attached.
For Addon Developers
Build a Standalone addon in ECHO Addon Studio, test it in the Standalone Runtime, and promote it to Native or NeoForge compatibility when it is ready.
