My vs community is struggling at finding a good hosting solution. People keep getting beefy VM plans from Nitrado or Gportal and the server lag is unbarable whenever there is anyone exploring new chunks. My question is what type of service might be good to run a lagless server at 20-30 players in 1.18. I am looking into barmetal servers from ovhcloud, something like this: Intel Xeon-E 2386G - 6c/12t - 3.5GHz/4.7GHz 32GB ram 512GB SSD Would this be sufficient or overkill?

I really like the 0/400, just wish it wasn't so noisey.

Spent some time genning some terrain and thought I'd share it. (%landcover% / %landcoverscale% - Map dimensions): If anyone has some more maps or interesting settings post them here. 0/400-20x20k 10/400-10x10k 30/150-10x10k

I have been having trouble finding these two aswell. Pic related is some kimberlite I found underneath andesite sand in a granite desert. Pretty interesting. As far as I know kimberlite can be very deep, you will never see it on the surface. It is a host for diamond so you might see that show up with propick? As for phylite I have had great difficulty finding it. As far as my understanding goes it is located in the same types of areas you would find slate/marble. Hope this helps.

Sorry but I don't enjoy having candy crush ads and LGBTQ pride flags in my start menu after every forced update that could also potentially brick my machine. Nor do I enjoy allocating multiple gigabytes of RAM to the Bill Gates spyware doing god knows what with it. Don't try and pretend it is more or less secure either. I have read countless articles on various zero day exploits since it's release; some attack vectors being through the automatic update system itself. Also as you pointed out windows 10+ makes up some 98% of the userbase for microsoft apparently, making it the larger target for malicious attacks. Why bother trying to exploit the disparate systems of the 2% win7/xp users when you can attack the 98% homogeneous windows 10+ systems?

I would argue that updating to windows 10/11 is also a major security risk for the user seeing as how it is full of spyware/telemetry. I will not submit myself to that so I guess I will have to use linux. Anyway I am glad 1.8 will work atleast. Thanks for the detailed reply.

I was wondering if the .NET 7.0 update is going to be the only option in the future or if there will also be binaries compiled for .NET 4.0. I run windows 7 so there will be no support for the newest .NET version.
