> Folia splits the load for the world into multiple threads, but only on a per-region basis, with each 512x512 being (potentially) on a different thread.

A small correction - Folia regions are not Minecraft regions. They don't necessarily align with the 512x512 region grid, and can take different shapes and sizes depending on what the regionizing algorithm is doing. The term "bubble" is used in some of the documentation and may be a more accurate description.

Ohhh, very interesting. I'll admit I only took a cursory glance at the code when it was first announced on the Paper discord since I'm not as much involved with MC anymore, but that's good to know. I'll need to dive in again one of these days.
