  • 1. Bukkit... Bukkit Is A Server Software And I Cant Find It On The Software List Anymore! But Why?

    2. Paper... I Used Paper/Spigot On 1.16.4 But NOW I Can’t Find It And It Now Says Paper/Bukkit? I Am Confused As I Thought Paper Was A Fork Of Spigot That Was A Fork Of Bukkit? Please Explain.

  • So Paper/Spigot And Paper/Bukkit Are The Same Just A Different Name?

    So Paper/Spigot And Paper/Bukkit Are The Same Just A Different Name?

    Not really.

    They have the same origin, but are now independent projects with some of their own features.



    Then Why Did It Used To Say That?

    Its Paper/Bukkit and Spigot/Bukkit.

    Noone said Paper/Spigot

  • Also How Come Glowstone Says It’s Compatible With Spigot/Bukkit When It Isn’t Working With ViaVersion, ViaBackwards, ViaRewind Or ProtocolSupport?


    It Works With Geyser...

    It Works With Geyser...

    Glowstone is a server software based on completely independet code. It does not rely on Mojang code or the former Bukkit code. But they implemented the Bukkit API which allows using most Bukkit plugins with it.

    However, plugins like ViaVersion are so special that the required interfaces, features etc. may not exist on Glowstone.


    Also Why Isn’t Bukkit/CraftBukkit On The Aternos Page Anymore?

    Bukkit itself does not exist anymore -> use spigot.


    And Are Spigot And Bukkit Plugins Compatable With Paper/Bukkit? As Paper Is A Fork Of Spigot Thats A Fork Of Bukkit That’s A Modification Of The Original Server Jar

    Yes, that should work in most cases.

  • Ok Thanks!

  • Dont use Bukkit or Spigot. Bukkit is completely outdated and Spigot is the killer for every vanilla game mechanic. if you need plugins, then use Paper. Its changes the fewest things in the vanilla mechanics. And if you dont 100% need plugins, then use fabric with lithium and phosphor for performance. Iirc it gives you even better performance for lower player ciunt, while Paper is better for higher amounts of players.

    PaperMC changes a lot more Vanilla mechanics than Spigot. Spigot doesn't really change that much, while PaperMC fixes things that are considered bugs (like breaking bedrock or TNT duping). Most of these fixes can, however, be disabled in the paper.yml config.

  • Paper maybe changes some things by defualt, but you can disable most of these things again as you said. However the biggest problem with Spigot was the tick skipping, when the game is laggy. As far as I know Paper only messes around with tile ticks and is therefor less invasive than Spigot, which sometimes skips whole ticks.

    I Already Have A Fabric Server And A Few Paper Servers And I Also Saw That Bukkit/CraftBukkit Is Still Around
