Sis this going to be a public server or private?
Cprivate, max 4 players.
DI want to run a vanilla server, what should I run
vanilla
not vanilla
not vanilla
CI see your point, but doesn't spigot/paper optimize the performance, no?
Pright but not vanilla
Sdon't use Spigot, it offers next to no perf improvements
DThey make modifications to the game, yes.
S^
Suse Fabric
Swith performance mods such as Lithium, FerriteCore, MemoryLeakFix, Starlight
AI thought starlight was obsoleted by 1.20. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
SIt was
SPaper if you want to use plugins but don’t need all farms/redstone contraptions to work
Fabric if you want a vanilla experience with performance optimizations
Vanilla if you don’t care about admin tools or optimizations that fabric/paper can provide

SPaper includes everything that spigot includes, plus more
SThe maintainer of spigot even advocates using paper if my memory serves me correctly
Syes. I only listed it because i didn't know what version they wanted to run
Ptechnically it does still improve performance when placing glowstone
Pby like miliseconds
S:LUL:
Lpaper
PPaper does change gameplay mechanics
Pso not really "vanilla"
AWhy does spigot still exist then
SBecause paper is based off spigot
ACan't they just drop the spigot in the middle
SPaper can’t be updated without having the spigot project updated first
DPaper is a fork of spigot, and uses the spigot and bukkit APIs. If those aren't updated, paper would have to re-invent those APIs.
AWell spigot is kind of obsolete now
AWhat if they just applied all of paper's patches onto the spigot codebase and then just went from there?
AThey don't get a lot of meaningful upstream contributions from spigot anyway
DThat isn't how it works, and is out of scope of this thread. I'd recommend asking the paper folks directly why they can't just "apply paper patches to the spigot code base".
AOk
CIt's not.
AI don't know of any good reasons to still use spigot
Ssome plugins also require paper's api anyways
