    I would say out of those, Paper, mainly due to lack of toolchain complexity or unusual concepts like mixins. I'd say it's a great introduction to Java.

    But other things you should also be looking into:

    Skript provides an interesting easy-to-use DSL language for Paper/Spigot servers - https://github.com/SkriptLang/Skript

    Minecraft Pi Edition was an ARM-only release of Minecraft Pocket Edition that is scriptable using TCP sockets, with APIs for various programming languages. Unfortunately, it was dead by the time it was finished, as it never got any updates after the initial release and doesn't have ARM64 support, and is a very limited version of the game https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/edition/pi

    Minecraft Education edition has a Scratch-like programming system, but it's only available to teachers and is another thing they sorta dropped the ball on https://education.minecraft.net/en-us

    I don't own an Apple M1, so I have no idea. You can try setting up a fabric server with carpet mod on your M1, and use the /log command to see the server mspt.
  • [Lightly Modded] Sand Generator using Carpet Mod/Carpet Extras
    3 projects | /r/redstone | 19 May 2023
    In my current world, I'm using some light mods to add things I think should be in vanilla - movable block entities, dispensers placing blocks, vanilla autocrafting, and renewable sand via anvils. This is all done with Carpet Mod, Carpet Extras, and the Vanilla Autocrafting extension. Because of this, I am doing a no duping challenge, so I need renewable sand somehow. So, using the mechanic of anvils crushing cobblestone into sand that was added in Carpet Extras, I made this contraption that produces about 25 stacks per hour (rough guess). Not terribly fast, but hey, it's renewable and it isn't duping, so I'm happy.

    If you want to make a multi-hour test, you can try using CarpetMods tick warp feature. By using the command /tick warp 72000 for example, your game will run as fast as your PC can handle for 72000 ticks. If you are in a void world, this can let your game run at over 100x speed, letting you test your farms for "hours" in just a few minutes.

    If you don't want to use the patch, or you are facing this issue but are not using paper(or playing singleplayer), you can use starlight (and ask your friends to do so too) on the client side. The jar file can be found in the Releases tab (only available for fabric atm).
