Building the ULTIMATE Minecraft Server - Part 1

[SITESHIELD]

@jakkuh_t If you require DDoS Mitigation (as i assume you'll be hosting this on your internal infrastructure) - give me a shout and i'll hook it up. 12 PoPs worldwide, 3000Gbps+ Mitigation throughput.

What plugins are you using? Things like CoreProtect

I don't feel pressured to by ranks on servers like Hypixel and Mineplex, and I've almost never had any lag on them. These servers aren't run on someone's personal PC; they're run on actual servers rented out by whoever runs the server.

 

I know they aren't run on an ordinary PC and on some mega server, but Hypixel has always been very laggy for me and suffers many regular interrupts. Also game modes like factions is completely broken by ranks and real-money purchases, so it would be nice to have something similar that doesn't have loads of OP ranks.

Also, I feel like LTT wouldn't make it free. How would they earn money? They're putting lots of fast hardware, a fast internet connection, and probably a decent amount of electricity into this server. It's not a negligible amount of power and internet bandwidth.

Honestly I wouldn't imagine they paid for everything out of their pocket, they would have gotten a lot at least some for free. And the two videos they plan on making for this server will pay for some of the costs so I wouldn't imagine this is going to be a P2W server, imo.

Jake said something about about am OS is it for the server if it os. Is he using a dedicated mcserver os like mcmyadmin or is he running a client on something like Ubuntu server?

i am sure it isnt MineOS (turnkey) because that menu looks diffrent and has no preenabled firewall that blocks the minecraft server port

[AndrewDragon]

Anyone know what OS it is? It's not like anthing I've ever seen before.

Pro tip:
If you want much better performance overall, mount a ramdisk on the server and store the world folder on that instead. A lot of the lag from servers tend to come from constant read and writes to the world folder, even on servers running on ssds (problem I had running an RL Craft server on an 8gb VPS with SSDs). The problem comes from server reboots, as RAM is temporary storage (obviously), so the world folder will be blown away after a reboot. Simply just add a cron that backs up the folder every so often and upon reboot (shouldn't happen often on a server level) just untar the backup into the world and off and away you go! =]

make it anarchy

[CompaqDisc]

I hope you guys will be looking into good software like PaperMC/Waterfall, and will also use proper startup flags to get the best performance out of the server.

I was so excited about this until I saw it was going to be two parts...

The thing I find most interesting here is Linus reaction to minecraft itself.

And the way he interacts with the game.

 

Its like an alien seeing an escalator for the first time.

 

Minecraft is surely not a traditional game. Though, in my own opinion, Minecraft has kinda gotten worse with all the recent updates.

[iDoesNotCompute]

If you guys really want to step up your game in terms of server deployment, look into using pteradactly. It's freeware built off laravel. You can create eggs which are templates for servers. You can get eggs for free of various github repos for pretty much any Minecraft server you want. Simply go into the admin panel and spin up a server in seconds flat. Makes life easy =]

Linus and Jake design and test fit our custom ULTIMATE LTT Minecraft server chassis.

 

 

Is that mineos?

[Nerdtality]

If you use the JDK instead of the JRE then you can use the following command line to force the JDK to use all available cores for optimising Java itself ALSO on ParallelGCThreads add the number of cores you have minus 1:

java -server -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XX:ParallelGCThreads=7 -XX:+AggressiveOpts -Xms1G -Xmx8G -jar craftbukkit.jar

[SenKa]

Im just going to point out that the CAD software they use costs $1,985.00/year.

 

I also want those CAD files pls

Yeah it doesn't matter if you're using the JDK or JRE increasing threads will do little to nothing when it comes to increasing performance of a minecraft server. The code base is heavily single threaded. Take a look if you want everything intensive (ticks) are processed on a single thread as they all have a specific order in which they need to be processed so multi-threading it is highly intensive.

I am part of an on going project to try and replicate this called MIMC.

 

You can see a web visualsation of what we're trying to achieve here.

 

Please not this is very much a work in progress and in no way intended for release usage.There are many bugs with world corruption likely to occur.

Interesting project you got there, and yes your mostly right. Except it helps modded servers.

Honestly, adjusting those startup parameters hardly do much in terms of performance. It's rather miniscule in the long run.

This is easily one of the coolest video series I've personally been invested in. I've wanted the LTT team to make videos about gaming servers for years now. Thank you guys for this and if my vote matters at all, I would adore more content like this. On larger scales or even smaller ones like more Raspberry Pi content regarding servers, NAS, etc. Great job. Case looks awesome, Jake!

[williamcll]

Can we get an anarchy server instead? It would really stress the server by people going around at the speed of sound.

[cmlg2]

Wouldn't be better if they put dual 3900x or 3950x? Or Minecraft doesn't use many cores?

[Kilrah]

As they said in the video each server is single core.

[avrona]

Why the PCIe 4.0 NVMes if you are running on Z390 and not X570?

My thoughts:

 

Vanilla - Yes please, a couple plugins, anti-cheat, Commandhelper 2 for easy custom commands (if it's still in dev), ways to claim and protect a few chunks that requires renewal once a month or so. No financial plugins, just players trading items. 

Towny - Don't have enough experience to have an opinion

Factions - Toxicity, PVP, Obsidian bases
 

Creative - Redstone and Entity lag, TNT.
 

Plots - What is Ambiance? There's a lot more to minecraft than a superflat world with 32x32/64x64 chunks

Economy servers - If scamming isnt allowed, can be pretty good. Scamming being allowed basically stops trading for victims easily
