Paper VS Yatopia

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.

PaperMC, a minecraft server has over a quarter million lines of code Github link

Paper fixed it here: https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/commit/8493340be4fa69fa9369719272e5dff1b7a2f455

Go to papermc.io and download Waterfall or Velocity

This is actually a known issue which was mostly ignored: https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/issues/3110

AlynaaMC is a mix of JettPack, Pufferfish, Paper and Yatopia (and you might want to read this, by the way, TL;DR: Yatopia is a buggy and unstable fork that is not even continued anymore)... Also, JettPack is just a playground for his dev so you definitely shouldn't use it at all.

Benchmarking server software is kinda difficult, and it really depends on what situation your server is running in. But an example is that our collision patches are MUCH faster than airplane and other forks (see here https://github.com/YatopiaMC/Yatopia/pull/458). But how our optimizations add up to affect your server really depends on a server-by-server basis. A standardized testing framework for server softwares is really needed!!

If you really need optimization and desperately crave performance, you can check out Yatopia. It's a really fast fork of Purpur (meaning it has Paper, Tuinity, Airplane and Purpur, and its own features), however it's a little bit less stable. Some people had issues with it, although I've never run into any.

If you want pure performance then use Yatopia which is a fork of many other server software like Paper, Purpur, Tuinity, Airplane, Origami, Akarin, EMC, and mods like Lithium. Also use this guide [GUIDE] Server Optimization⚡ | SpigotMC - High Performance Minecraft.

That’s a very detailed thread OP! I also suggest another server software called Yatopia MC, which is a fork (or flavour) of Tunity, but includes in a build of Purpur and the performance fixes of Paper. All plugins that work with Bukkit and his forks (Spigot, Paper etc.) will also work on Yatopia MC: and the best part? It includes optimisation mods like Starlight and other chunk loading efficiency mods. I recommend to see their GitHub if you feel a little bit Geeky and want to know the features of this server software!

Right this is what you need to know: For 100 players you are going to need to have pretty decent specs, depending on your budget. For cheap but quality hosting look here WitherHosting and select the plan you can afford. From there you are going to need some optimised software. I would recommend something like Tunity or even YatopiaMC (this is what I use, Yatopia - Blazing-fast Minecraft. (yatopiamc.org) ). Once you have this, to allow everyone to join (bedrock and java) you are going to need to install GeyserMC (a bridge to allow bedrock players to join). From there also install Floodgate to allow bedrock players to connect without buying a java edition account. This may all seem very complex, but just look up a video on Youtube and you will find one thats easy to follow.

If you are really desperate for better performance, I suggest trying out Yatopia. It contains however more drastic optimizations that can noticeably change game behavior.
