    We will be downloading the Minecraft server files into this directory. To preface, there are numerous variations of server JARs that can be used (e.g. Spigot, Paper, Purpur each touting their own benefits). For this tutorial, we will be working with Paper, a fork of Spigot that is optimized for performance.

    I am going to assume your client needs the optimizations not the server otherwise I would recommend paper. If you are looking for client sided optimization I'm going to recommend things like sodium, Iris Sharders, and lithium. I have used Optifine in the past and found it to be sub par when compared to those three but you might find different. I am going to recommend Atlaunch as Ive found it to be better than prism but that's just an opinion.

    If you're not hosting it through a game server manager, I suggest using PaperMC for vanilla server. It comes with a /restart command you can run to restart the server, and you can find and add a plugin that does that for you. There is a mod for that for use on modded servers as well.
