Hyperion aims to have 10k players PvP simultaneously on one Minecraft world to break the Guinness World Record (8825 by EVE Online). The architecture is ECS-driven using Flecs Rust. To contribute, join Hyperion's Discord for the latest updates on development.
Our current efforts are focused on making an event roughly similar to something that would be on Overcast Network (we are not affiliated with them).
