    Mohist 1.20.1

    Minecraft Forge Hybrid server implementing the Spigot

    Tenet is an open-source experimental project related to Minecraft server or modding infrastructure that explores alternative approaches to building scalable and modular gameplay systems. The project aims to provide developers with a framework for experimenting with advanced server architecture and performance-oriented design. By focusing on modular components and extensible design patterns, Tenet allows developers to create systems that can integrate with other Minecraft tools and frameworks. The architecture encourages experimentation with new networking, gameplay logic, or server extension mechanisms. Projects like Tenet often serve as research platforms where developers test new ideas about game server design, concurrency, and plugin systems. The codebase provides a foundation for building new tools or prototypes related to Minecraft infrastructure.

    BedrockConnect

    BedrockConnect

    Join any Minecraft Bedrock Edition server IP on Xbox One

    On Minecraft Bedrock Edition, players on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PS4/PS5 are limited to playing on 'Featured Servers' approved by Mojang/Microsoft. These players are not able to join servers via an IP/address. This is an issue for me and others, as the server community on Java edition was one of the major parts that made Minecraft what it was, and what also made the servers that are now considered 'Mojang Server Partners' what they are today. I wanted to fix this, so I made a solution that anyone can set up easily.

    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.

    MAME4droid

    MAME4droid

    MAME Android Emulator.

    MAME4droid (0.139u1) is developed by David Valdeita (Seleuco), port of MAME 0.139u1 emulator by Nicola Salmoria and TEAM. MAME4droid (0.139u1) emulates arcade games supported by original MAME 0.139u1. This MAME4droid version is targeted to Dual-Core devices, because it is based on a high specs 2010 PC MAME build. Anyway don't expect arcade games of the 90 to work at full speed. With some games that are really bad optimized (like outrun or mk series) you will need at least a 1.5 ghz dual-core device (Cortex A15). This is related to MAME build used, since it is targeted to high specs PC's as i said before. This version emulates over 8000 different romsets. Please, try to understand that that with that amount of games, some will run better than others and some might not even run with MAME4droid. Please, don't email me asking for a specific game to run.

    GeyserMC

    GeyserMC

    A bridge/proxy allowing you to connect to Minecraft

    Geyser is an open-source proxy and protocol translation tool that enables cross-platform multiplayer between Minecraft: Java Edition servers and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition clients. The project works by translating network packets between the two different game protocols so that players using Bedrock Edition devices such as consoles, mobile phones, or Windows editions can connect to servers originally designed for Java Edition. By bridging the differences between the two platforms, Geyser allows server communities to unify players who would otherwise be separated by incompatible game editions. The software typically runs as a plugin, proxy, or standalone bridge and integrates with popular Java server platforms such as Spigot, Paper, or Velocity.

    Iris

    Iris

    A modern shaders mod for Minecraft compatible with existing OptiFine

    Iris was created to fill a void that I saw in the Minecraft customization and graphical enhancement community: the lack of an open-source shaders mod that would let me load my favorite shader packs on modern versions of the game, while retaining performance and compatibility with modpacks. OptiFine, the current dominant mod for loading shader packs, has restrictive licensing that firmly stands in the way of any sort of tinkering, and is fairly notorious for having compatibility issues with the mods that I like. It's also mutually incompatible with Sodium, the best rendering optimization mod in existence by a large margin. ShadersMod was never updated past 1.12, and it lacks support for many of the many modern popular shaderpacks. So I created Iris, to try and solve these issues, and also address many other longstanding issues with shader packs. I first and foremost develop Iris to meet my own needs of a performance-oriented shaders mod with good compatibility.

    ViaVersion

    ViaVersion

    Allows the connection of newer clients to older server versions

    Allows the connection of higher client versions to lower server versions - it works on any platform you can think of. The base ViaVersion jar runs on Paper and Velocity. We also have projects integrating ViaVersion to run on Fabric, Forge, Bungee, Sponge, or as a standalone proxy to join from basically any client version on any server version from the past decade. See HERE for an overview of the different Via* projects. Note that ViaVersion will be able to run best on either Paper servers or through ViaFabricPlus due to having direct access to client/server state and more extensive API.

    CatServer

    CatServer

    A high performance and high compatibility 1.12.2/1.16.5/1.18.2 version

    CatServer is an open-source hybrid Minecraft server implementation that combines support for both Forge mods and Bukkit-style plugins within the same server environment. Traditional Minecraft server software typically supports either mod loaders such as Forge or plugin systems like Bukkit and Spigot, but CatServer aims to bridge this gap by enabling both ecosystems to coexist. This hybrid approach allows administrators to run modded gameplay features while also using administrative plugins designed for plugin-based servers. The project modifies the server architecture to integrate Forge modding capabilities alongside plugin compatibility layers. As a result, server operators can build more complex environments that include both gameplay modifications and server management tools. CatServer is particularly useful for communities that want the flexibility of modded Minecraft while retaining access to established plugin-based server administration tools.

    WorldEdit

    WorldEdit

    Minecraft map editor and mod

    WorldEdit is a powerful open-source Minecraft map editing toolkit that allows players, builders, and server administrators to quickly modify large areas of a Minecraft world directly from within the game. Instead of placing or removing blocks individually, WorldEdit provides commands and tools that enable users to select regions of the world and apply transformations to thousands or even millions of blocks at once. This capability makes it extremely useful for constructing large builds, terraforming terrain, repairing damage, or managing multiplayer server worlds efficiently. The tool includes a variety of editing methods such as brushes, shape generation commands, and clipboard operations that allow copying, pasting, and rotating entire structures. WorldEdit can run in both single-player environments and multiplayer servers and is compatible with several modding platforms and server frameworks used in Minecraft Java Edition.

    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.
