How to Choose Minecraft Server Software

The best Minecraft server software depends on your Minecraft edition, game version, plugins, mods and the type of server you want to run. Before installing a jar, check the project's official documentation, supported versions, installation instructions and update history. A project described as performance-focused is not automatically the best choice for every server or plugin setup.

Minecraft Java Server Software

Java Edition server projects include standalone server software, performance-oriented forks and proxy software. Paper-based projects such as Folia, Pufferfish, Leaves and Purpur have different goals and compatibility considerations. Check each project's own documentation before switching an existing server or relying on a specific feature.

Minecraft Modloaders

Modloaders provide the foundation for running Minecraft mods. Forge, NeoForge, Fabric and Quilt have different ecosystems and compatibility requirements. Confirm that the modloader version matches your Minecraft version and the mods you intend to install.

Hybrid Servers, Proxies and Bedrock

Hybrid server projects aim to combine mod and plugin ecosystems, while proxy software can connect players or route traffic across multiple servers. Bedrock server implementations and crossplay tools serve different needs from a standard Java Edition server. Read the official project's current status and compatibility notes before choosing one.
