- Worth noticing
- It separates lobby emulation, single-player builds, multiplayer tests, and Creative-mode recreations instead of treating them as one kind of project.
Field notes
The timeline follows changes in what the projects attempted: recreating a lobby, getting older clients running alone, and then testing multiplayer synchronization and capacity. It names specific artifacts, including Polaris for build 1.8 and Nacro for build 1.7.2; the page says Nacro development stopped. Its account also marks a 100-player, low-latency figure as a testing target discussed at the time, not a verified release capability.
