Sounds worth posting your own ShowHN post for.
this is amazing! Now we just need a shared server that is accessible by anyone and see where that goes.
A world for anyone. should have more than enough are. it would be interesting to see if wars and terretorial conflicts arise here as well
Please rewrite this in C++/Rust. Java at this point is a pure meme-tier language. I've dabbled with rewriting the JVM and actually properly optimizing but it's a complete waste of time when you can just generate optimal low-level code with inlined asm kernels where needed. You're genuinely leaving tons of performance/efficiency on the table. If you need a high performance minecraft engine there's TONS of rust rewrites on github, or you can generate your own.
How does this work? You need to somehow flatten the globe into a plane, right? Are you just using a regular map projection? It says that everything is real scale in the description and that can’t really be true at high latitudes, right?
