FarPlaneTwo VS mammoth

I also know that FarPlaneTwo is supposed to do something similar, but I'm sure I didn't test that.

for 1.12.2 there exists https://github.com/PorkStudios/FarPlaneTwo

Far Plane 2 https://github.com/PorkStudios/FarPlaneTwo/tree/dev/voxel-mode-is-no-longer-restricted-to-rendering-voxels

FarPlaneTwo

Pretty much, trying to find a mod like Bobby or FarPlaneTwo, but for 1.18. Neither of those are compatible with 1.18 so does anyone know anything similar to those? Thanks!

I've found that chunk render distance has a very large impact on fps. If you play on 1.18, setting the simulation distance down allows you to play at 32 render distance fine. If you play earlier versions, mods like Distant Horizons, Bobby, C2ME, or FarPlaneTwo are quite useful.

But maybe soon?

Yes

80 is a ton of players though, you might be able to get away with it as long as you have very powerful hardware. This might get better in the future if Mammoth "Seamless" mode gets stable.

There really isn't a networking library that is available that a new planetside server could use. I think spatialOS had a lot of hype around it back in 2018, but for various reasons its not widely used. There was a recent project that hypothetically could handle the scale of planetside 2 with good performance, but its still in the very early stages, and probably will be for a long while.

Possible? Sure. WorldQL's Mammoth should be able to accomplish this, though it's still very much in development https://github.com/WorldQL/mammoth. Seems to be far from ready for actual server use.

After a quick google, it looks like WorldQL and Mammoth may be what you want. They say (and show, actually) they've tested it with up to 1000 players over multiple servers (on a single world) and kept a solid 20 TPS.
