Mohist VS CatServer

https://mohistmc.com/,

If you want to run Bukkit plugins with Forge, there's a few options. Mhoist, Magma and Arclight all achieve the same goal of running Bukkit plugins with Forge. Mhoist and Magma have both existed longer than Arclight, however Arclight uses mixins, which can improve compatibility.

https://mohistmc.com/ This one can load both forge mods and spigot plugins at the same time. But keep in mind once there is forge mods in your server, your server's direction will and should be focus on the mods instead of the plugins. So far EssentialsX-type of "tool chain" "server management" plugins can install just fine. Plugins that mess around the the base game mechanics like item adders and slimefun are likely to give unexpected behaviors.

After little research I found you this: Project that allow forge mods server to utilize spigot pluggings.

I know that CoreProtect is a Spigot plugin, and that forge is a different beast entirely. But I've looked into Mohist (https://github.com/MohistMC/Mohist) and it looks like it has what I need, though not really any support for 1.19 quite yet.

Looking in to MohistMC but is also out of date.

Instead of fully switching to MOD server, you could try using Magma, Sponge, or Mohist, if you have any further questions, feel free to reply to this message or DM me.

I’m no expert, but in terms of running forge servers, I’ve had good luck with MohistMC. https://mohistmc.com/

The reason the EssentialsX devs found out about this dangeous behaviour was them or someone else manually going through the code, something few actually do. A lot of people simply take ”open source” as a synonym for safe, while some take the effort to go through the code and identify sus things like this commit.

You can consider switching to CatServer. It's an open source, Chinese 1.12.2 Forge + Spigot server. It's a lot more stable than SpongeForge when it comes to mods, and it vastly outperforms it. There's more Spigot plugins than Sponge plugins, and a lot of popular Sponge plugins are available on Spigot.
