The performance differences look pretty impressive from the benchmarks. I do notice that world generation and saving features are missing though, and these tend to be pretty expensive operations. Chunk gen especially can bring a weaker VPS to its knees. I'm sure the benchmarks were taken at an idle state, but I'd be curious to see how it compares once those features are included and being used.

I don't see it listed, but is there support for block breaking/placing yet? Presumably this would require light recalculation and a chunk update on the server.

Finally, do you plan to add advanced features like scoreboard, teams, or command block parsing in general? Mojang has at least open-sourced Brigadier for that.

Cool project. Hope to see it mature to the point of making servers easier to run on low-end hardware.

Are there any benchmarks for it? How much faster is it than a vanilla server?

I know Minecraft servers tend to get extremely resource intensive as the player count creep and people run extremely beefy servers to handle the load and still offer poor TPS.

As someone who knew about this project from earlier (I had even joined their discord) (currently have just deleted my discord account for better state of mind) Its really made me happy that hackernews really liked this project (140 upvotes is pretty good in my opinion)

From what I remember , there was one other server as well which also was written in rust but I am not exactly sure

Also , the last time I was at it , it was really really alpha software but it was getting developed at good rate , so I am not sure about its current state (I was there when the author had gone to take his exams IIRC)

Are you sharding the main thread into regions (ie. Like paper folia) or is this just breaking of non block-entities to their own threads.
