For those wondering, hypixel was an impressive minecraft mod. The devs moved on to create Hytale - a minecraft-like game that is still to be released. At least that's what my fallible memory says. https://hytale.com/ I assume this is an unrelated effort. And just an engine with basic minecraft play. Actual minecraft is too wide and deep for any "reimplementation" to fall from the skys at this point.

The Hypixel Network is a mini-games server.

Hypixel is a large server/network of mini-game servers. Them working is really impressive because they (and other similar large servers) use many advanced/esoteric features of Minecraft to make their minigames stand out.

It's more impressive that the anticheat doesn't flag you

Allright, no server mod?

From the Readme - What does this mean ? >> Notice: I am not responsible for anti cheat banned accounts, this project is heavily in development! ?

Some Minecraft servers will attempt to detect modded Minecraft clients, potentially based off of how they handle the protocol or mechanics. If this re-implementation has accidental differences from the main Minecraft client, it could potentially get detected as a malicious cheating client and banned.

Given the disclaimer in the repo's README I wouldn't be sure about that.

They're most likely referring to anti-cheat plugins run on servers - they're not responsible if a server's anti-cheat plugins bans you.

Nope, hypixel is the largest minecraft server, although the definitely use a lot of server side mods and scripts to keep things functioning. Hytale is still certified classic vaporware.

Anyone re-implementing minecraft would also have to reimplement all the quirks and undocumented interactions, as well as essentially staying compatible with forge and the apis mods expect. So whatever rewrite has to be in a JVM, and might as well just stick with java. Look at bedrock edition, the only people who play it are people who mis-clicked when buying or don't own a PC.

The closest anyone ever got was minetest, in C++. But honestly at this point, why rewrite a game of all software? It's not mission critical to anything (I hope) and
