    BlueMap

    BlueMap

    A Minecraft mapping tool that creates 3D models of your Minecraft

    BlueMap is a program that reads your Minecraft world files and generates not only a map, but also 3D models of the whole surface. With the web app you then can look at those in your browser and basically view the world as if you were ingame! Or just look at it from far away to get an overview. BlueMap comes as a Spigot/Paper or Sponge Plugin, as a Fabric or Forge-Mod and you can also use BlueMap without any Server from the Command-Line as a standalone tool. If installed as a Plugin/Mod, BlueMap renders asynchronously to your MinecraftServer-Thread. This means at no time it will block your server thread directly. So as long as your CPU is not fully utilized, your server should not be slowed down while BlueMap is rendering.

    Botania

    Botania

    A tech mod for Minecraft themed around the magic of nature

    Botania is a Minecraft tech mod themed around natural magic. It's inspired by other magic mods, such as Thaumcraft or Blood Magic. With an original aim- and timing-based power system, Botania has a very different feel from your typical magic or tech mod. Manipulating Mana and watching it flow in real time adds a new light to your base of operations. Botania works within the Minecraft world itself; no GUIs are used to interact with any of its features. It's carefully designed to ensure that nearly everything is fully automatable using vanilla and itself. After some thought, of course. The Lexica Botania is the compendium of nearly all knowledge about this mod. Easily craftable in-game using a book and a sapling, it gives you almost all the information you'll ever need to know about Botania.

    Skript

    Skript

    Skript is a Bukkit plugin which allows server admins

    Skript is (surprise, surprise) a scripting plugin for the Bukkit platform. It is easy to use for simple tasks, but you can also create really complex things with it. The syntax of Skript is close to English, but it is still not magic. While you might succeed with experimentation for simple tasks, for anything more complex you will need some guidance. You will find all supported features of the plugin here, along with some useful examples. We don't have tutorials yet, but you can find good ones using whatever search engine you prefer. Skript requires Spigot to work. You heard it right, CraftBukkit does not work. Paper, which is a fork of Spigot, is recommended; it is required for some parts of Skript to be available. Skript supports only the latest patch versions of Minecraft 1.9+. For example, this means that 1.16.5 is supported, but 1.16.4 is not. Testing with all old patch versions is not feasible for us.

    FarPlaneTwo

    FarPlaneTwo

    Level-of-Detail renderer in Minecraft. Allows for render distances

    FarPlaneTwo is an experimental open-source Minecraft mod that introduces a Level-of-Detail (LoD) terrain rendering system designed to dramatically extend how far players can visually see across the game world. Instead of rendering distant terrain using the same detailed chunk system as nearby areas, the mod generates simplified representations of terrain that require far fewer resources to display. This approach allows players to view landscapes at extremely large distances while maintaining acceptable performance levels. The project aims to support render distances far beyond the limits of the standard Minecraft engine, potentially reaching hundreds of thousands or even millions of blocks. By creating progressively lower-detail versions of terrain farther from the player, the mod can display the shape and structure of distant regions without fully loading those chunks.

    Applied Energistics 2

    Applied Energistics 2

    A Minecraft Mod about Matter and Energy

    Applied Energistics 2 (AE2) is a comprehensive mod for Minecraft that introduces a unique approach to in-game inventory management. Its theme is centered around the concept of converting matter into energy and vice versa, to store and transport your items and fluids instantaneously. AE2 revolutionizes storage in Minecraft. The mod adds a network-based digital storage system, where items and blocks are stored as energy in a digital form within a network of connected devices. This allows for compact storage solutions and easy access to your items. Another significant feature of AE2 is its automatic crafting capabilities. Players can set up patterns and recipes which the system can automatically craft on demand. This greatly streamlines bulk and complex crafting processes, saving time and effort. AE2 adds a whole new level of strategy to your Minecraft builds with its networking and channel system.

    Minestom

    Minestom

    1.21.11 Lightweight Minecraft server

    Minestom is an open-source Minecraft server development framework that allows developers to build custom Minecraft server software from scratch without relying on Mojang’s original server code. Instead of functioning as a traditional server implementation, Minestom acts as a lightweight library that provides the core networking and gameplay infrastructure needed to create Minecraft server applications. Developers can use it to design custom game modes, experimental server architectures, or entirely new gameplay systems while maintaining compatibility with the Minecraft Java Edition client. The framework focuses on performance, modularity, and extensibility, allowing developers to include only the features required for their specific server projects. Because Minestom is designed with a minimal base architecture, it enables high performance and easier scalability for custom server environments.

    Modifications to the Minecraft base files to assist in compatibility

    MinecraftForge is a widely used open-source modding API and development platform for Minecraft that enables developers to create, install, and manage game modifications in a standardized way. It provides a framework that extends the core functionality of Minecraft while maintaining compatibility between different mods and versions of the game. Forge simplifies the modding process by offering tools, hooks, and APIs that allow developers to modify game behavior without directly altering the base game code. This modular approach allows multiple mods to coexist within the same installation while minimizing conflicts. MinecraftForge also includes tools for loading mods, managing dependencies, and maintaining compatibility across game updates. Over time it has become the primary modding ecosystem for Minecraft Java Edition, supporting thousands of community-created modifications ranging from gameplay enhancements to entirely new game mechanics.

    BuildCraft

    BuildCraft

    BuildCraft mod for Minecraft

    BuildCraft is a mod for Minecraft. BuildCraft itself is licensed under the MMPLv1 or MPLv2 if you need the specifics, but generally, you can. By default, many simple (primarily worldgen/decorative) blocks are supported out of the box, such as the kind of blocks added by Chisel 2 or Ztones. However, for many other mods, special support is required to allow for rotation and remove the chance of duplication bugs appearing. BuildCraft Compat is a BuildCraft addon designed to add cross-mod compatibility with other mods. BuildCraft is in the process of moving back to the MJ power system. However, due to BuildCraft being in alpha no other mods support it (or should support it, as its still making breaking changes to the API.

    Starlight Fabric

    Starlight Fabric

    Rewrites the light engine to fix lighting performance

    Starlight is a performance optimization project for Minecraft that completely rewrites the game’s internal lighting engine to improve efficiency and reduce lighting-related lag. The original Minecraft lighting system can be computationally expensive when generating terrain or updating large structures, which can cause performance problems on servers and heavily modded environments. Starlight replaces this system with a redesigned algorithm that processes lighting calculations more efficiently and reduces the number of updates required for each chunk. The project aims to improve chunk generation performance, reduce lag spikes, and eliminate certain lighting bugs that occur in the vanilla engine. Because it fundamentally replaces the default lighting system, Starlight can significantly improve performance on servers handling large numbers of block updates or terrain generation tasks.

    GrimAC

    GrimAC

    Fully async, multithreaded, predictive, open source, 3.01 reach

    GrimAC is an open-source anticheat system designed to detect and prevent cheating on Minecraft multiplayer servers through predictive simulation and advanced movement analysis. The project uses a simulation-based detection engine that recreates player movement and physics in order to identify discrepancies between legitimate gameplay and modified client behavior. By analyzing how players move, interact with the world, and send network packets to the server, Grim can detect a variety of cheats such as reach hacks, speed hacks, and anti-knockback modifications. The software is designed to operate asynchronously and with multithreaded processing, allowing servers to maintain high performance even when monitoring large numbers of players simultaneously. Grim supports a wide range of Minecraft versions and can integrate with server platforms used in competitive or large multiplayer environments.

    The official self-service anti-griefing Bukkit plugin for Minecraft

    GriefPrevention is a long-running anti-griefing plugin for Minecraft servers built around self-service land protection. It helps prevent damage, theft, unwanted building, and other griefing behavior before server staff have to respond manually.

The project targets current Spigot, Paper, and Purpur servers, while older versions remain available separately for legacy Minecraft environments. It also has an addon ecosystem for extending protection behavior beyond the core plugin. GriefPrevention is best suited for server owners who want practical build protection, fewer moderation emergencies, and a player-friendly claiming system.
