Fragen zum Thema server software

Which Minecraft server software should I use?

For most servers, Paper: it is fast, stable and runs nearly every plugin. Purpur is Paper with many more settings. Folia is only for very large servers whose plugins all have Folia versions. Velocity is not a server but a proxy that joins several servers into one network.

Is Paper better than Spigot?

For running a server, yes. Paper runs Spigot plugins too, fixes many bugs and exploits, and is much faster. Spigot is still what many plugins are written against, but most servers run them on Paper.

Do Paper plugins work on Purpur and Ashlar?

Ja. Purpur and Ashlar are built on Paper, so Bukkit, Spigot and Paper plugins work on them the same way.

What is the newest Paper version?

Paper 26.3, build 248, released on Nov 10, 2026. This page checks the official download site every three hours.

Is the download from this page safe?

Every download button links to the official download site of that software (papermc.io, purpurmc.org, or GitHub for Ashlar). Nothing is hosted here. The SHA-256 checksum of each Paper, Folia and Velocity build is shown, so you can check the file.

Builds are read every three hours from fill.papermc.io and api.purpurmc.org, last on Nov 10, 2026, 15:47. links go to those sites. herunterladen
