Based on this paper from 2014 [0], you're probably gonna hit resource limits in the late thousands unless you apply some special techniques. Apparently the highest number of players that's been seen on a minecraft server simultaneously is somewhere around 10 000, but I don't know the details of this.

- geophertz 7y agoYeah but if you rewrite a Minecraft server to scale it would probably be possible. The Vanilla minecraft server runs on 1 thread and is written in Java so there is a lot of space for improvement.
