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/ 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 an impressive minecraft server, not mod

  Allright, no server mod?

    No, hypixel is a famous minecraft server network abd community and not a mod.

    Hypixel uses server mods of course. It's not just something you can download somewhere and start your own Hypixel. I wouldn't call it a mod. Its a custom experience provided by a specific set of servers.

      Ok, I hope we can split the wheat from the chaff without haggle. I'm corrected, "Hypixel" is the name of a server, not a mod. So who was the guys that started Hypixel Studios and Hytale? Maintaining a server doesn't seem like the immediate precursor to starting a whole new game.

        > So who was the guys that started Hypixel Studios and Hytale? The same people who run Hypixel minecraft server? They didn't just "maintain" a server. They developed custom mods and solutions, over 40+ minigames, custom plugins. Like I said, its more of a "custom experience". It is this knowledge, not "maintaining a server", which is the precursor to starting a whole new game. For example, Icefrog was involved in the creation of the original DotA gamemode for WC3. Valve, 10 years later, hired him when they were working on DotA2. It was not his experience running a custom game mode in WC3 for this hiring - it was the custom experience he helped create

        Ok, I was just choosing you to respond to for all the flack I was getting for calling it a mod and not a server. You are circling back to my original point of confusion - that these guys where a mod community and not just a server.

        I think the objection to calling it a "mod" is that it's something you can connect to with a vanilla client.

  It was an adventure map before it was a server.

  For a demonstration of what hypixel is, Technoblade has some great videos. My favorite being The Great Potato War saga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qjnDd1rsII https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qjnDd1rsII

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

The core minecraft community - streamers, modders, tech folks ... might be all about java edition. But I think bedrock is where the money and quantity is at this point. And despite what mojang says, I find it hard to believe that they want to maintain two code bases of converging games in the long run. Bedrock has the performance potential. Java has the mechanics that the core community prefers. Still.

    Bedrock is essentiale modified PE edition
    - lazycouchpotato 3y ago
      Not modified per se, it is Pocket Edition (PE). It was renamed because it obviously isn't just on phones any more. With iOS, Android and FireOS, it's also on Windows 10/11, Xbox One/Series, PS4/PS5, Nintendo Switch and Chromebook.
