CRASH PLUGIN

When talking about Minecraft, the term "server" conjures up a world of possibilities far beyond the single-player experience. But what sets a Vanilla server apart from a Spigot or a Paper server? And why are there so many options?

Minecraft Vanilla: The Base Experience

• What it is: The original, unmodified version of the game, as distributed by Mojang.
• Features: Offers the core gameplay experience, with features and limitations set by the developers.
• Pros: Stability, easy installation, and an intuitive user interface.
• Cons: Limited customization, lack of plugins and mods to expand functionality.

Bukkit: The First Major Modification

• What it is: A modification of the Vanilla server that introduces an API allowing developers to create plugins.
• Features: Opened the door to a wide range of plugins, from simple minigames to complex economy systems.
• Pros: Great flexibility and a large developer community.
• Cons: Potentially less stable than the Vanilla version, may require more system resources.

Spigot: A Fork of Bukkit

• What it is: A modified version (called fork) of the Bukkit project, designed to be more performant and stable.
• Features: Inherited Bukkit's API and introduced optimizations to improve server performance.
• Pros: Optimized for large servers, greater stability compared to Bukkit.
• Compatibility: Bukkit plugins are compatible with Spigot servers.

Paper: A Further Refinement

• What it is: A fork of Spigot, focused on simplicity and performance.
• Features: Removes some less-used Spigot features to reduce complexity and improve performance.
• Pros: Extremely fast and lightweight, ideal for servers with limited resources.
• Cons: May not support all plugins (highly unlikely).
• Compatibility: Both Bukkit and Spigot plugins are compatible with Paper servers.
