SteelMC
A Minecraft server in Rust focused on a strong foundation
SteelMC is an independent Minecraft Java Edition server implementation written in Rust. It aims to reproduce vanilla behavior while using modern multicore processors more efficiently. Gameplay updates remain synchronous, while chunk generation, lighting, packet processing, and chunk transmission can run outside the main server tick. Players can join persistent multiplayer worlds, move, interact with blocks, manage inventories, use commands, chat, and return to previously saved areas. Its networking layer supports Java Edition authentication, encryption, compression, and protocol communication. World generation is currently its most complete system and is tested against reproducible vanilla chunks for block-level parity. SteelMC remains in pre-alpha, with incomplete survival mechanics, limited entity behavior, no plugin system, and no compatibility with Bukkit, Paper, Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge extensions. -

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. -

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. -

BungeeCord
BungeeCord, the 6th in a generation of server portal suites
BungeeCord is a Minecraft server proxy designed to connect multiple Minecraft servers into one larger network. It lets players move between separate servers while experiencing them as part of the same connected environment. The project is maintained by SpigotMC and has long been used by server owners who operate lobby, minigame, survival, creative, and specialized game-mode networks. BungeeCord works as a layer between players and backend servers, forwarding connections and managing server-to-server transitions. It also provides an API that developers can use to create plugins and extend proxy behavior. Its main value is helping Minecraft communities scale beyond a single server while keeping navigation smoother for players. -

FerrumC
A reimplementation of the minecraft server in rust
FerrumC is a re-implementation of a server for the game Minecraft (version 1.21.8) built from scratch in Rust, designed to offer significantly improved performance and memory efficiency compared to vanilla server implementations. By using Rust’s concurrency and safety guarantees, FerrumC runs fully multithreaded, allowing it to utilize all available CPU cores — which helps deliver smoother, low-latency, high-throughput multiplayer experiences. The project aims both at providing a fast, lean server for typical use (friends or small communities) and offering a foundation that could support large-scale servers, mod/plugin systems, and custom server configurations. FerrumC supports importing existing Minecraft worlds, making it easy for users to migrate from standard servers without losing progress. Its networking, world encoding (chunks, NBT, Anvil format), and entity systems are custom-built with efficiency in mind, which results in fast world loading, minimal I/O lag. -

Minecraft High-Performance Redstone
A multithreaded Minecraft server built for redstone
A Minecraft 1.20.4 creative server built for Redstone. Each 256x256 plot runs on a separate thread, allowing for less lag, more concurrency, and many awesome extra features. MCHPRS is very different from traditional servers. Because this server is tailored to the use of computation redstone, many things that are a part of Vanilla Minecraft servers don't exist here. That being said, MCHPRS comes with many of its own unique features. -

Valence
A Rust framework for building Minecraft servers
Rust framework for building Minecraft: Java Edition servers. Built on top of Bevy ECS, Valence is an effort to create a Minecraft-compatible server completely from scratch in Rust. You can think of Valence as a game engine for Minecraft servers. It doesn't do much by default, but by writing game logic yourself and leveraging Bevy's powerful plugin system, you can make almost anything. Opinionated features like dynamic scripting, dedicated executables, and vanilla game mechanics are all expected to be built as optional plugins. This level of modularity is desirable for those looking to build highly custom experiences in Minecraft such as minigame servers. -
