Horizon Expanse

What is it?

Expanse is a project which aims to completely replace minecraft's networking internals with SpatialOS to allow infinite worlds with near infinite people.

How does it work?

The traditional ways to develop large online games mean that you’re either limited by the capacity of a single game server, or you have to shard your game world.

SpatialOS works differently: it brings together many servers so they’re working as one. But it does this in a way that makes a single world which looks seamless to players.
