The hardcore technical folks seem to prefer things that don't alter the vanilla mechanics quite as much as Paper, it's true. But FWIW there are lots of farm and redstone designs that work reliably on Paper.

(Disclaimer: I'm on the Paper team, and Paper is the org under which Folia sits) I didn't watch the stream because I was offline when it happened, but I just want to note that the test was run by someone not on the Paper team who

Microsoft has struct rules about the stuff you can sell for the server, and servers need to be EULA compliant. If they aren't they can get blacklisted or shutdown. People do buy plugins but the vast majority of the plugins you'd w

(Disclaimer: I'm on the Paper team, and Paper is the org under which Folia sits.) This is true to an extent, yes. Chunk generation can be real tough. That said, chunk generation has been re-written in Paper, so it's substantially

We tend to call those "networks", when they have a bunch of different gametypes and servers interconnected. At a smaller scale of a few hundred players it's pretty easily handled by off the shelf software like Velocity for th

There's a bit of a distinction in the Minecraft world between "mods" and "plugins". Even though to the outside perspective they're the same thing, the terms are used for two different communities/ecosystem

This is where things start to get a little fuzzy. Mineplex had the most concurrent players but they weren't on a single individual bare metal server or single server jar instance. A lot of large "servers" like Mineplex, Hypix

Most servers with the latest CPUs can only handle a few hundred players without bogging down, so yeah it's a fair bit.

(Disclaimer: I'm on the Paper team, and Paper is the org under which Folia sits.) Paper (and Folia) have differences from "vanilla" (official) Minecraft, which is part of how they improve performance to begin with. So it is t

Anecdotal counterpoint: I've worked with three sets of people who dated in the workplace, and when they broke up it was fire and brimstone. In all three instances, one of the two quit.

I'm guessing the answer is something along the lines of: "Despite being immensely popular, it is a labor of love and generates little (or no?) revenue, so unfortunately, no there isn't anyone else minding the site."

Perhaps eventually. At the moment you need to be an "Accredited investor" in order to actually join and invest. They define an "Accredited investor" as meeting at least one of the following criteria: - Someone who has made $200k+ for the pa

Absolutely - I didn't intend to downplay being a TV writer. In that vein, being a session musician is also "making it" as well. But "it" is subjective - if "it" is being on stage, you didn't "make it" in either case.

Assuming your write your own material, the rough equivalent for a comic is getting a writing gig. TV shows, for other comedians, etc. You basically write "session" material as a comic the same way a "session" musician would be a hired gun.

This is a bit of a misunderstanding of how SMTP works. If you run and maintain your own SMTP server and it goes down, you won't be able to send email. Everyone else will still be able to send email to you, and it will be delivered to you,
