Couldn't Minecraft chunks run fairly independently, with some message passing when something needs to move between chunks?


Yes*, but players build complex machinery fairly often that can span chunk boundaries, so that requires synchronous coordination between the chunks for those machines to work right.


When will players learn to parallelize their simulated DOGE coin miners?!


Imagine two players fighting on a seam between chunks.
