Yeah, my thought exactly, execution lacked, but i do admire the attempt.

Connect in the sense of receiving a login packet and saying "yes". That's it. Steps 1, 2, 3, 9, 10 of [0] (they didn't mention encryption or compression, I'm assuming they didn't implement it.)
They didn't mention anything about any of the steps past 10 - again, assuming they didn't implement them.
It's a trivial thing they've implemented - good work, sure, but a Minecraft server? Absolutely not.
