MineStrike 1.6: reconstructing Counter-Strike interfaces for a Minecraft mod

MineStrike 1.6 reconstructs interfaces of Counter-Strike 1.6's closed client and engine binaries to add Minecraft-style gameplay inside GoldSrc. A client proxy forwards and wraps exports, while server hooks add blocks, inventory and crafting; its installer builds a block version of de_dust2 from the user's game data.
