Paper, Spigot or Purpur: which one should you pick?
Want plugins? Install Paper. Want mods? That is Forge, not Paper. Leave Spigot behind.
Samuel AkiresCEO RoxyCloud
Paper, Spigot and Purpur run Minecraft Java with plugins. They are not a modpack. A modpack uses another installer.
If the server is new, install Paper. That is what most people use. Common plugins were built for it.
- Plugins (Essentials, WorldGuard, economy): Paper.
- You already run servers and want more options: Purpur.
- Modpack (ATM10, Cobblemon): Forge or NeoForge, not Paper.
- Spigot: only if something old will not start on Paper.
