Hyperion is a Minecraft game engine that aims to enable a 10k player PvP battle to break the Guinness World Record (8825 by EVE Online). The architecture is ECS-driven using Flecs Rust.
The upcoming 10k-player PvP event draws inspiration from the class progression systems and tag mode from diep.io. The gameplay mechanics also draw influence from Hypixel Pit's combat systems. Players will gain levels (XP) from mining ore and killing other players.
We're partnering with TheMisterEpic to run an initial proof-of-concept event with around 2k players. Following its success, we'll host the full-scale 10,000-player PvP battle alongside numerous YouTubers and streamers.
Note on Performance: The system's computational costs are primarily fixed due to thread synchronization overhead. Each game tick contains several $O(1)$ synchronization points, meaning these operations maintain constant time complexity regardless of player count. This architecture explains why performance remains relatively stable even as player count increases significantly - the thread synchronization overhead dominates the performance profile rather than player-specific computations.
The bulk of player-specific processing occurs in our proxy layer, which handles tasks like regional multicasting and can be horizontally scaled to maintain performance as player count grows.
