    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.

    Phosphor (for Fabric)

    Phosphor (for Fabric)

    A Fabric mod designed to improve the performance of Minecraft

    Phosphor is a free and open-source Minecraft mod (under GNU GPLv3) aiming to save your CPU cycles and improve performance by optimizing one of Minecraft's most inefficient areas-- the lighting engine. It works on both the client and server and can be installed on servers without requiring clients to also have the mod. The mod is designed to be as minimal as possible in the changes it makes, and as such, does not modify the light model or interfaces of vanilla Minecraft. Because of this, Phosphor should be compatible with many Minecraft mods (so long as they do not make drastic changes to how the lighting engine works.) If you've ran into a compatibility problem, please open an issue.

    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.
