## What it is
Hyperion is a Rust-based Minecraft game engine built on the flecs ECS, designed to support 10,000+ players in a single world. It targets massive custom multiplayer events such as record-breaking PvP battles, with multi-threading, proxy-based horizontal scaling, and performance tracing.

## Use cases
- host massive Minecraft PvP events with thousands of players
- build a custom Minecraft server engine in Rust
- run 10,000+ players in one Minecraft world
- experiment with ECS-based game server architecture
- scale a Minecraft server horizontally with a proxy layer
- profile and optimize high-performance multiplayer game servers

## When to choose
- you need to host extremely large Minecraft events beyond vanilla server limits
- you want a Rust, ECS-driven foundation for a custom Minecraft server
- you need multi-threaded vertical scaling and proxy-based horizontal scaling

## When to avoid
- you just want a standard Minecraft server with plugins
- you need full vanilla Minecraft feature parity
- you want a turnkey server rather than an engine to build on

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
