Feature World Lighting: not implemented

Lighting is server side? o.O

I guess because it influences creep spawn or sth?

Why write a server in rust? Java is already memory safe 🤔

[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Probably performance - the Java server takes up a lot of memory and CPU for what it does. The base implementation first started in 2011, so it wasn't exactly designed to be multithreaded or parallelized because most games were still largely single-threaded at the time. Rewriting it from scratch in a different language probably helps with that
