This is the code that powered the PlayPen plugin in charge of dynamically scaling Minecraft servers of the former Minespree Network.
Besides the removal of some branding and configuration data, it is more or less unmodified. It is probably not directly useful to third parties in its current state, but it may be help in understanding how the Minespree network operated.
We are quite open to the idea of evolving this into something more generally useful. If you would like to contribute to this effort, talk to us in Discord.
Please note that this project might have legacy code that was planned to be refactored and as so, we kindly ask you not to judge the programming skills of the author(s) based on this single codebase.
To build Zygote, the following will need to be installed and available from your shell:
You can find detailed installation instructions for these tools on the Getting started docs page.
You can build this project running the following command:
mvn package
Next, move the produced artifact on target/ to your PlayPen plugins/ directory. Finally, restart the network and change the settings on the config.json file
This project also includes a GitLab CI .gitlab-ci.yml build config file to automatically build and deploy our artifacts to the main and development networks. This process requires the use of a custom Docker image, but its setup is documented on the Docs page.
This repo contains a balancer manager and the following balancer implementations:
- Game (
game) balances instances with active statuses in a Redis update poll fashion. - Fast game (
fastGame) balances games with active statuses in real time (based on the server provisions and deprovisions). This type performs calculations on every provision and deprovision, and as so, it might be more computationally intensive if you're running lots of instances. - Hub (
hub) balances instances based on the total player count of all of them as a group. This balancer type is inspired by the mcbalancer PlayPen official plugin.
