Hey all,
A friend and I are working on a hobby project to further our understanding of the software and infrastructure side of building a Minecraft network, something along the lines of a Hypixel style setup with proxies, shared lobbies, instanced game servers, etc. The hardware side is more of a personal interest of mine, but the core of the project is really about learning how these larger networks are put together from a software perspective.
That said, we do need something to run it all on, and we're looking to pick up a few boxes optimised for instance density while keeping costs down with DDR4 era hardware. We've already shortlisted a few EPYC options that look promising for this kind of workload.
In my research for this, I've seen some great discussion on this subreddit around similar setups, so figured I'd just ask directly: for those of you running high density Minecraft hosting on older EPYC platforms, what's been your experience? Any particular CPUs or things to know about going into 2026?
Appreciate any input!
