|A Minecraft server written in Elixir and Rust that is made with distribution in mind. It will take advantage of all cores on the machine by default. In the future it should be possible to offload the computationally heavy parts (like chunk generation, chunk servers, even anticheat) to other machines, while keeping the core parts that require more swift communication on a single machine.

Plugins

Some unofficial software allows you to run plugins natively in the game. These plugins and the software used to run them are not run or maintained by Mojang Studios.

Name Main Developer(s) Latest supported JE version Programming Language Remarks
Spigot md_5 1.20.1 Java Spigot is the continuation of CraftBukkit that is actively maintained and adds more functionality for plugin developers as well as server fixes and configurations.

Java Glowstone is a completely open source Minecraft server that doesn't rely on any of Mojang's code - meaning we're free to change it however we want. It is fully compatible with Bukkit API natively and with Sponge API through Bukkit2Sponge
SpongeVanilla Sponge 1.16.5 and

1.20.1 (Experimental)

Java A server implementing the Sponge API, a different plugin API separate from the Bukkit API used by the other plugin softwares. This implementation also includes some general improvements regarding performance and server settings.
CraftBukkit SpigotMC, Formerly The Bukkit Project 1.20.1 Java CraftBukkit added Plugin support to Minecraft and exposed some additional server settings. After it was abandoned by the BukkitDev team, SpigotMC took up development of it, to keep it up to date with the latest versions. CraftBukkit is no longer officially supported by the SpigotMC team and not built by default when using BuildTools.

McEx hansihe, Gjum 1.9.2 Elixir, Rust A Minecraft server written in Elixir and Rust that is made with distribution in mind. It will take advantage of all cores on the machine by default. In the future it should be possible to offload the computationally heavy parts (like chunk generation, chunk servers, even anticheat) to other machines, while keeping the core parts that require more swift communication on a single machine.

Modded

Some unofficial software allows you to run modded versions of the game. These mods and the software used to run them are not run or maintained by Mojang Studios.

Name Main Developer(s) Latest supported JE version Programming Language Remarks
