Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 5, Utility: 5)

Torch is a from-scratch Minecraft Java Edition client written in Rust, bypassing the JVM to deliver lower memory usage, faster startup, and higher frame rates than the vanilla client. It supports multiple protocol versions in a single build via cargo features, making it an interesting systems-level alternative for performance-conscious Minecraft players.

Target audience: Minecraft players and Rust/game-client developers interested in performance and alternate clients
