  • anything-minecraft

    Discontinued Minecraft guides to help you with anything server related!

  • Nice, I actually have created a list already here. But it's cool to see that other people have done the same!

  • PaperBin

    An experiment at improving the performance of PaperMC

  • 1.12.2 - For this version, I suggest PaperBin, PaperBin is a fork of Paper 1.12 that fixes dupe glitches, bugs and provides support as Paper dropped their support. PaperBin uses jvmti to modify Minecraft classes at runtime, if you cannot figure out how to use this use normal Paper instead.

  • 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.

  • Mohist

    Minecraft Forge Hybrid server implementing the Spigot/Bukkit API, formerly known as Thermos/Cauldron/MCPC+

  • 1.8- For this version I recommend mohist, it is the most popular 1.8 bukkit + forge hybrid server currently with support.

  • Magma

    Minecraft Forge Hybrid server implementing the Spigot/Bukkit API (Cauldron for 1.12) (by magmafoundation)

  • 1.12.2 - I recommend magma for 1.12.2 bukkit + forge mods. It has been around for ages and provides support still.

  • Purpur

    Purpur is a drop-in replacement for Paper servers designed for configurability, and new fun and exciting gameplay features.

  • 1.16 - For this version I highly recommend Purpur, Purpur is a fork of Paper with many performance improvements, it also adds many fun unique features like getting damaged when running with scissors (shears).

  • quilt-serverside-mods

    A list of server-side mods for the Quilt mod loader; including many Fabric mods (which are compatible with Quilt) and some Quilt-only mods.

  • There's a regularly updated mod list for fabric servers which mentions many useful performance mods. There's no blurb for each mod, so each performance mod generally optimizes a different part of the game, and most are designed to maintain parity with vanilla and not change behavior or fix glitches that technical people might like. It's recommended to use starlight over phosphor because it gets better performance.
