How does this work? You need to somehow flatten the globe into a plane, right? Are you just using a regular map projection? It says that everything is real scale in the description and that can’t really be true at high latitudes, right?
replyI used Web Mercator to flatten the map, so its "1:1" scale, but obviously not perfect because it is on a flat plane.

replythis is amazing! Now we just need a shared server that is accessible by anyone and see where that goes.
replyA world for anyone. should have more than enough are. it would be interesting to see if wars and terretorial conflicts arise here as well
Thanks! It is optimized to work on servers so if anyone wants to host it they can.
replyAlso, great username my last name is Bussard :O
replySounds worth posting your own ShowHN post for.
replyPlease rewrite this in C++/Rust. Java at this point is a pure meme-tier language. I've dabbled with rewriting the JVM and actually properly optimizing but it's a complete waste of time when you can just generate optimal low-level code with inlined asm kernels where needed. You're genuinely leaving tons of performance/efficiency on the table. If you need a high performance minecraft engine there's TONS of rust rewrites on github, or you can generate your own.
replyFunnily enough, I have been dabbling at rebuilding this to work with this project: https://github.com/ludovic111/horizon
replyThe only thing about rewriting it in rust is that no other mods will work with this and the thing that got me really excited about building this is using Create Aeronautics with it.
