I don't want to denigrate the effort, but... I'll be interested when I see something with a Forge-equivalent API. Porting Electrical Age to a different Java-based minecraft server is in principle not terribly difficult, it's reasonably well abstracted already, but there needs to be a modding api.

Yes because buying a stick of memory from Best Buy is ALMOST the same thing as hosting a sever in a cloud data center with an slice of an entire computer, redundant power, redundant network, and administration baked in. It is soo insane that every time we have a post, and someone compares hosting a computer in their garage with AWS. This may be a new record though, comparing hosting with buying a stick of memory at b…
Its not exactly a controversial statement that AWS carries a massive premium on stuff like RAM.
Have my kids (10,13) just grew out of it?
What's the best open source minecraft client? And how does it compare to the official client?
you can read about the details by following the links for each client
If you're interested in roll-your-own things like this, stop by #mcdevs on Freenode and take a look at our documentation at http://wiki.vg , where we've been RE'ing the protocol and game internals for 8+ years.
Is Minecraft still a thing? Have my kids (10,13) just grew out of it?
It's a shame. Some of the things people have created for the MC community are nothing less than truly amazing. For example
Great work, but...Java? Is this for compatibility with mods? One of the biggest pain points with running a Minecraft server is the onerous memory requirements. Java needs a ton of memory to get out of bed, and after that it's not always pretty with how the allocator works. That's fine on an enterprise server with 64GB of memory, but not cool when you're paying $10/mo. per GB of memory for what should be an inexpensiv…
Memory has never been a problem for MC servers. Speaking as someone who's personally been involved in some of the larger servers -- Pain point has always been CPU usage on a single threaded level. Nowadays servers are optimized to the point where we squeeze all of the performance out of the CPU and run multiple instances of MC in order to accomplish that on a multi-threaded level. You can easily hold 500 players conc…
