Nice. I'd kinda like to see games like Minecraft become more like the Fediverse, where you could walk between worlds hosted on different servers in-game
I'm pretty sure server connections themselves are mostly P2P so that would be difficult, might be doable though since there are plugins to allow hopping between multiple worlds on a single server but that's very different than hopping between multiple servers.
Like this rejected Minetest suggestion
In fairness that task would likely fall on server hosters and server software maintainers as Microsoft and Mojang only provide the Authentication services and Game Jar file repository. They have little incentive to provide more than the bare minimum since their primary concern is updating and maintaining the game itself, servers are a secondary concern to them.
