    Minecraft server optimization guide

  • I would always say that if you want to stick to plugins, always go for Paper. It's much faster than spigot (and here's the reason why), open source, and fixes bugs and exploits that spigot or upstream vanilla won't fix. It's a fork of Spigot, so you get all the features of spigot, and the lag reduction is really good on paper. I would recommend using Bungeecord or Waterfall as the proxy (which is a speical server software that allows players to hop between servers without having to join and quit. if you have played on network servers like hypixel, they use proxies, but it's on a more massive and complex scale), and use Paper or Tuinity as the backend servers (the actual servers you'll play on). Have the lobby server set as the default server, and either use 8 different servers or use 2-4 different servers with Multiverse and create 2-4 different worlds on within the servers.

  • Paper

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

  • Mohist

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

  • If you want to combine forge and paper, use Magma or Mohist. But if ur using essentials with either Magma or Mohist, expect it to be gone or broken. The reason why is mohist and magma takes away the essentials plugin for some odd reason, and people complain about essentials being broken. So use it at your own risk. For other plugins, it should be fine

  • Tuinity

    Discontinued Minecraft server software fork of Paper to improve performance without behavioural changes.
