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. -

Create
Building Tools and Aesthetic Technology
Create is a large Minecraft modification that introduces mechanical engineering systems, automation tools, and kinetic machinery into the game. The mod focuses on building complex contraptions powered by rotational energy rather than relying on traditional redstone circuitry alone. Players can design elaborate machines using components such as shafts, gears, belts, and mechanical devices that interact with each other to automate crafting, farming, and resource processing. Unlike many technology mods that rely heavily on graphical interfaces, Create emphasizes visible mechanical movement and physical machinery that operates directly in the game world. The mod also includes a visual documentation system called “Ponder” that demonstrates how each machine or component works through animated tutorials inside the game. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

minecraft-world-downloader
Download Minecraft worlds, extend server's render distance. 1.12.2
A Minecraft world downloader that works as a proxy server between the client and the server to read & save chunk data. Download multiplayer worlds by connecting to them and walking around. Chunks can be sent back to the client to extend the render distance. -

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.
