You don't "change", you will "add" Kubernetes to your server setup. Docker gives you an isolated, reproducable environment (= container) which you can deploy your minecraft server in while Kubernetes uses docker (or some other containerization software) to manage containers across different physical or virtual servers (e.g. scale automatically, provide new minecraft servers when the existing crash, ...).

I'm pretty sure there are servers out there having the exact same game modes, but having the advantage of an already active playerbase.

I think the amount of minigames won't convince many players.

I would start with one game and make it the best minigame in existence.

As always, the most important question is: Why should players play on your server and not on Hypixel/...?
So make sure you design your server in a way that you have a good answer to this question.

If you already got some games, you can get some people together and get some feedback. That's what really brings you forward.
Really, get user feedback as early as possible.

Minecraft servers don't fail because the hardware is bad, they fail because the players don't enjoy playing on it. So don't spend too much time figuring out the best way to scale this thing up, just build something, release it and see if people like it.

I wonder what your marketing strategy is to attract hundreds of players. This is the main problem I would think about.

You could make things easier by just looking for a co-founder who has a technical background.

But still agreeing with this. Having a good understanding about how your stuff works is necessary, even later when you have people managing the technical side of things.

You should learn what you need now and in the foreseeable future. In my opinion, Kubernetes is not one of these things.

If you got a great product and people want to use it, finding co-workers who can help you with the technical stuff is really not the problem.

500 players is definitely possible on a simple velocity network, but I would suggest setting up something very simple for about 50-100 players. If you have 50 to 100 players, I guarantee you there will be people helping you out on scaling the whole thing.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were mainly interested in shipping a minecraft server product. If your primary focus is learning about all kinds of technologies (which you could possibly use) then there is nothing wrong with looking into Kubernetes and related stuff.

You can do whatever you want, but I think you are focusing on the wrong things. Kubernetes is "necessary" for huge networks with thousands of players and will add a lot of complexity to your setup and therefore lots of possible security risks when done wrong. Focus on developing the best possible product (= mini games) and after that, marketing, but there is no valid reason to use Kubernetes for your server at this point, especially because you lack the knowledge about linux server administration, containerisation and spigot in general.

Wrong formula for pre-1.19.4 horse breeding?
This was easier than I thought hahah
Just in case someone will ever have the same issue, here is the real formula implemented in 1.18.2:
The base formula is correct (
(value of parent 1 + value of parent 2 + random value) / 3, but the random value is generated in a very specific way.
Random value for speed: (0.44999998807907104 + (random double between 0 and 1) * 0,3 + (random double between 0 and 1) * 0,3 + (random double between 0 and 1) * 0,3) * 0,25
Random value for max health: 15 + (random integer between 0 and 7) + (random value between 0 and 8)
Random value for jump strength: 0.4000000059604645 + (random double between 0 and 1) * 0,2 + (random double between 0 and 1) * 0,28 replies
