Purpur

Purpur is an open-source Minecraft server software built as a fork of the Paper server platform, designed to provide extensive configurability and gameplay customization for server administrators. It functions as a drop-in replacement for Paper, meaning existing servers can switch to Purpur without major changes while gaining access to additional features and configuration options. The project focuses on allowing administrators to modify gameplay mechanics, behaviors, and rules that are normally fixed in standard server implementations. Through a wide set of configuration settings, server operators can adjust how mobs behave, alter game mechanics, or enable experimental gameplay features that are not present in vanilla Minecraft. Purpur inherits performance improvements and plugin compatibility from the Paper ecosystem while adding its own enhancements and customization capabilities.
