what version of mc are u planning on running
1.21 +
the pros of using puffer/paper is reliability, stability and maintainability, which is what one of the biggest con of the random forks. somethings might just not work, there might be incompatibilities. There might be bugs that are slow to update. as paper/pufferfish update those fixes usually take a while for them to appear on their forks. etc
the pros of these unstable forks are they tend to showcase some bleeding edge new optimization. Which sometimes works, sometimes doesnt. Think of it like an alpha build. Could it be great? yeah. could it cause issues? yeah. For production servers you typically avoid alpha builds of anything, and only resort to them if u have to.
fair enough
ive recently switched over to trying out some axolotle and honestly its making the server really well, its handeling more players than we first were able to
Kind of how i see it, is if pufferfish just isnt working for u, then u can start looking at other options, but should focus on fixing the performance issues elsewhere. (ie. replacing unoptimized plugins, pregen, etc)
fair enough in that sence
yeah, the forks arent bad. they can just cause issues. So if you have a team ready to fix them if they come to be, then go for it
issues could be: data corruption, lag elsewhere, incompatibility with plugins, etc
tbf we havn't had any issues so far, it was mainly from our own custom plugins causing a server loop
Ive met a lot of people who shit on people who mention axolotl or forks like that
well i think the axolotl dev cause some issues with some notable people
ye i heard
hes banned from polymart
and a couple other places probably aswell
ye, so the person prob isnt very cash money
up to u if u want to support that person
fair, i mean 10 buks for smth that is running better for us than paper in some ways
what
it doesnt do any of that really
axolotl is a mess tbh
isnt very vanilla compliant, doesnt perform that well etc
i dont think axolotl does what folia does?
i mean im looking for your guyses opinion, and ye ok true it doesn;t
id love to know your opinion on it btw, thats kind of why in asking
ive notcied people have there thaughts on it and im wandering what they are in detail
pros cons, why there hated
no
iirc axolotl had a backdoor in it
in previous vers
Realistically, most servers don't need custom paid server softwares
Pufferfish + Good hardware & server optimisation usually does the trick
however if you get to the point where you do need more perf, you should honestly check out the likes of UniverseSpigot ($70 one time, miles better than axolotl)
and, don't use Pufferfish+.
It's only really for people who use their host.
uhh I dont think axo has a backdoor
also PF+ is a great option if you are on PF host
they have good hardware and it comes with pf+ so you get the extra perf
was told that it had a backdoor in it once
alr
pretty sure they tore the jar apart in vc and didnt find anything
@Deleted User pls comment
ah
mb
a previous jar of his iirc?
