Seriuosly interested, why is Node.js better suited as a gameserver than say C or Java ?

What exactly are you doing on the serverside? Is it an authorative setup or are you just passing position messages around (in which cases huge amounts of players wouldnt be suprising) ?

Did you reverse engineer minecrafts multiplayer protocol or is this an alternate implementation?

EDIT just looked it up and it seems like the minecraft network protocol is public, so no reverse engineering needed. It also looks like its not an authorative setup which could cause cheating problems in PvP enviroments down the line
