Cluster server

[Caman]

Hey my name is Caman

 

i want to start a minecraft server and want to do a server dedicated to that. Now my question is How do I do a cluster server so two motherboards share and work together. This server going to be to a big minecraft I prefer it to be Windows but linux is also good

why do you want a cluster? Is this for uptime?

Is this for one minecraft instance?

Building a cluster is not too complicated, but getting a single instance of a program to take advantage of it (when there's an advantage to take) would require some programming on your side or built-in support by the program you are running.

In my experience, it will be easier in Linux (or maybe it's easier given my experience? It will certainly be cheaper ).

Exactly I want more people to come with No lagg it is for minecraft instance

 

its getting better the more ram and How they are working together that is What cluster is working together

Could you learn me How to do a cluster server I am totally beginner I going to buy parts soon

that won't happen. Minecraft is made to run on one system. Its also mostly single threaded which makes it much harder to scale.

 

Get a single fast system here. 

 

You can do a cluster pretty easily for failover, but not for performance here.

What is your budget for parts?

I thought you were re-purposing computers you already had. If you are buying parts: don't. First make sure you have a use case for which a cluster makes sense. You could be better served by spending the same money in a single server.

 

As to how, back in the day I followed the wiki guide at Debianclusters, which I can't seem to find anymore - probably replaced with something newer or scrapped altogether. But you can follow that path by doing some research on "Beowulf clusters".

I dont know maybe 1000 dollars

so I could not do cluster for perfomance. I want to do a big server I want it to handle like the one hypixel use

Nope, no clustering for performance.

 

With that budget, get something like a 10600k.

 

 

ALso and run linux, you can get a reasonble more performance.

You dont. Minecraft isn't a clustered application.

You do realise that these large 100,000 player Minecraft communities like this aren't a single server?

When you join it, you're only in the server with maybe a couple hundred players or so....even an old gen3 i7 can handle a few hundred players, let alone a modern CPU

 

Hypixel in particular....checking their nameserver records mc.hypixel.net....

Can see they use Cloudflare...so theyre doing geo-locating to their closest servers, and you get redirected randomly to any of the servers in that region. 

In New Zealand, when i query it i get a response from r53.hypixel.net which appears to be East Coast (US), so if i connect to the game I get connected to one of these 20 east coast server IP's below. That server I get connected to maybe has 100 players in it....im not playing with 85,000 other players.
