Best Paper Fork and version for Lobby and AuthLobby
Hi there! What would be the best minecraft version and fork to make a lobby and authlobby server right now? I want something >=1.16.5, but don't know which is the best option or if I should go with an older version

for a lobby, you would probably want it to be as light as possible tbh
so a 1.8 or 1.12.2 paper fork will be your best option
just go with paper
Not purpur?
Do you know a nice 1.12.2 fork? 1.8 is too old
Why is 1.8 to old?
All the lobby is is a connector to your other servers
its not like the old combat mechanics and missing entities are a deal breaker, probably
I use: https://github.com/Akarin-project/Akarin
purpur is more focused towards customizability
they mentioned 1.16.5 or above, 1.8 is wayy too old
doesnt matter for a lobby tbh
I could go with 1.12.2
didnt you say 1.16.5 though?
im confused
Yes, but if it is better to make the lobby on 1.12.2, I could
but that means you have to use viaversion just to even connect
and then there goes new block compatibility as well
I don't mind using viaversion. I just want to make the lobby on the best base version possible and the newest version possible
yeah, it depends how many "new" blocks you want to have in your lobbies
i would recommend for the sake of compatibility to leave your lobby server on the earliest version you intend to support for the least amount of hiccups
so in this case, since its 1.16.5, use a build of paper intended for 1.16.5
authlobby for offline-mode?
realistically, you could also do 1.18.2 with purpur and disable almost everything related to ticking entities and ticking the world
only reason I would personally look into 1.12.2 or 1.8 as a lobby was if the server was pvp focused
I want to support all versions >=1.8
And I am not using modern blocks on the lobby
?
viabackwards/viarewind lets you do it

I know
But I don't want what version and fork to choose for it
realistically, it doesn't matter too much
they're not doing much in the lobbies
youve said 1.16.5, 1.12.2 and 1.8, pick one
probably purpur with everything disabled, or 1.8 itself will have the least impact on server performance
Yes, and bedrock login
So Purpur 1.16.5
1.16.5 purpur is vulnerable to the log4j exploit
So 1.18.2?
!offline
they have instructions on how to rectify it
