Host the fight everyone remembers.
Victory Lap hosts huge Minecraft events and everyday servers on Hustle, a server built to keep thousands of players at a smooth 20 TPS.
Powered by Hustle
A Minecraft server that uses every core.
Paper and vanilla run the main game update on one thread. Hustle was written from scratch, so players, mobs, packets and world generation all run at the same time on different cores. Gameplay stays vanilla, and your Paper plugins still work.
2,000 players in one fight. Full speed. 4 cores.
The hardest test there is: every player in one battle, all seeing each other. Hustle held full speed. Paper and vanilla topped out around 200.
Most players at full speed
The one-fight test, 4 cores. Players each server kept at a steady 20 TPS. It is the event we sell.
Paper and vanilla topped out around 200 in the same test. That's 10× Paper, and Hustle still had room to spare.
250 players exploring at once
100% is full speed. Below that, the whole game runs in slow motion: movement, combat, farms and redstone.
Hustle at full speed, Paper slowed to 64%, vanilla stopped. At 500, only Hustle kept going.
4,000 players exploring at full speed.
We ran out of network before Hustle ran out of power. On 16 cores each update took 33 ms, and the 10 Gbit network card filled first.
What do TPS, MSPT and "full speed" mean?
Minecraft updates the world 20 times a second. 20 TPS is full speed. At 13 TPS, everything moves at about two-thirds speed.
How long each update takes. It has to stay under 50 ms to keep 20 TPS, so for MSPT, lower is better.
How much of those 50 ms is left over: room for more players, mobs and redstone before any lag.
