C2ME-fabric VS Minestom

https://github.com/RelativityMC/C2ME-fabric add this

I like custom textures but so many of them require OptiFine. I already have a bunch of OptiFine alternatives. I have Sodium, FerriteCore, C2ME, LambDynamicLights, Starlight, and Sodium Extra. I have looked at Animatica but that only allowed for animated textures. Do you guys know of any mods that allow for OptiFine textures but work with my performance mods?

1) LazyDFU: Compiled DFU rules afterwards. 2) EntityCulling: Doesn't render entities that you can't see 3) NoFade: This isn't exactly a performance mod, but fading sometimes makes my game crash, so I use this. 4) NotEnoughCrashes: Again, not a performance mod, but makes crashes much easier to handle. 5) SmoothBoot: Makes Minecraft not hog too many resources when starting up 6) SodiumExtra: Basically adds more options to Sodium. 7) Hydrogen: idk how to describe this (I no longer don't use this as 1.18 hasn't released yet, but I'll this in anyway). 8) C2ME: Improves chunk performance. 9) Enchanced Block Entities: Improves rendering of block entities. Note that this only really shows effect when you're in an area with tons block entities (eg. your storage basement)

It's a bit dangerous and I wouldn't exactly recommend it because I haven't tested it, but there's C2ME. It's VERY experimental. Doesn't exactly do what you're saying, but it should help. I recommend using this list for reference on fabric and forge performance mods, both server and client side. It's very useful.

C2ME. Massively improves chunk loading by multithreading it

Mods (Fabric modloader) used in this video: Sodium, Lithium, Starlight (Beta), C2ME (Alpha), EntityCulling, Hydrogen, LazyDFU, Krypton. You can replace Sodium with Iris for shaders.

You don't need to redesign the server. You can just use these mods.

- What server software or framework to use. Ideally, if you dont need too much vanilla features (world generation, all mobs & items implemented, etc), I'd use something lightweight that is not based off of the vanilla server software. There are a few projects like this on github, including: https://github.com/Minestom/Minestom , https://github.com/feather-rs/feather , https://github.com/KryptonMC/Krypton , https://github.com/df-mc/dragonfly (bedrock). Which one you use will probably depend mostly on your preference. - You will need a way to store data separate from the servers. A database like postgres should work. There are a lot of different databases tho!

Even if performance is your worry, Minestom is an open-source barebones reimplementation of the minecraft server. With this, you can make extremelly custom things and let people connect using the default vanilla client. Of coruse, you can pair this with a mod if you want to.

Depends on what you're doing on said server. If it doesn't require vanilla mechanics then Minestom might suit the job well. Other than that, I'd recommend Paper, Purpur or Pufferfish.

It's unlikely to achieve have such performance and feature using Paper/Bukkit/Spigot or the one provided by Mojang. If you want to write your own server-side software, you could use Minestom.

This is quite a difficult questions because it depends on which type of Minecraft is currently being used (java, bedrock, education). The hardware available for the server as well as the ages of the students. Normal Minecraft servers are notoriously single threaded which makes it hard to host a server for 75 without good hardware. You could look into a project called minestom which is a nice library for making a multi threaded server, but it would require the students to program the server themselves. Which definitely could be fun and educational, but isn't doable with younger students

It is called Minestom. Its not done, but here is the website and discord. If you check out the showcase channel in the discord you'll see some pretty cool stuff they've made with the current program.

Im experimenting with Minestom and I want to make some crazy stress tests (1k users).

Also to add to this, if you don't need full vanilla functionality and are more focus on higher player count than something slightly more experimental but more performant might be your best bet like GlowstoneMC (glowstone supports paper plugins) or Minestrom
