Traditional Minecraft servers run most game logic on a single main thread, which creates performance bottlenecks when many players are active simultaneously. Folia addresses this limitation by dividing the game world into independent regions composed of nearby chunks and assigning each region its own tick loop. These regions run concurrently on...
