The options listed in our Selector include:
The most basic version that allows for multiplayer games, but no other modifications or changes.
The next step up that allows for multiplayer games and minimal levels of customisation. This is one of the least recommended versions to use.
This hosts a greater number of plug-ins than CraftBukkit and allows for multiplayer. This is more recommended than CraftBukkit, but it is recommended that you utilise the enhanced performance of Paper to receive a better gaming experience.
This is the recommended version to run as it is most optimised. It provides for the greatest level of customisation whilst using the lowest number of resources to work.
This version needs its own server to run but can allow you to connect multiple servers together at once.
This was created to support Minecraft Pocket Edition players, however, any plug-ins used must be developed by Nukkit to work properly.
A new JAR that can allow any Bedrock edition players to connect to an available Java Edition server.
This version is typically used for Modpacks as it supports mods which add various functionalities to the game.
That’s it! The only thing left to do is enter your game and start enjoying your very own Minecraft Server.
