  • Minecraft-Performance-Flags-Benchmarks

    Sane, Benchmarked Java Flags and Tweaks for Minecraft

  • I can't attest to how valid these benchmarks are, but this explores the topic - https://github.com/brucethemoose/Minecraft-Performance-Flags...

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Paper

    The most widely used, high performance Minecraft server that aims to fix gameplay and mechanics inconsistencies

  • MultiPaper

    Multi-server, single-world papermc implementation

  • According to the making of video of this, they are using Multipaper: https://github.com/MultiPaper/MultiPaper

  • Skript

    Skript is a Bukkit plugin which allows server admins to customize their server easily, but without the hassle of programming a plugin or asking/paying someone to program a plugin for them.

  • 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

    Scarpet provides an interesting easy-to-use DSL language for Fabric servers - https://github.com/gnembon/fabric-carpet/blob/master/docs/sc...

    Opencomputers and Computercraft are mods that adds computers to Minecraft, running Lua. OpenGlasses2 lets you code your own augmented reality glasses in Minecraft, because why not? https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/opencomputers https://www.computercraft.info/

    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
