I’m gonna set up a server once I move my desktop setup over and ask EVERYONE to join it. It’s gonna be fire.

here’s what i did for my ‘vanilla’ minecraft server:

java, fabric, mods:

• geyser: allows bedrock players to join the java server
• floodgate: makes bedrock players not need java accounts to join
• c2me: much faster multithreaded worldgen
• krypton: network optimizations
• lithium: general optimization
• noisium: worldgen optimization
• ferritecore: memory optimization
• viewdistancefix: fixes fog when the client view distance is higher than the server

also i made the server public so it’s easier for people to join, even though it was just supposed to be for the friend group, i never had any problems with random people joining and messing things up and i have a half-hourly backup anyways (with decent retention) just in case

there’s also some other optimization mods for supporting many players at once, which are very effective, but the server I was hosting was fairly small
