Links, repository & detailsAbout
Minecraft is a sandbox video game by Mojang Studios, released in early access in 2009 and fully in November 2011. Paper is a high-performance Minecraft server that aims to fix gameplay and mechanics inconsistencies, and it describes itself as the most widely used one. It also provides an API for plugin developers.
Getting started
Server admins download the Paperclip jar from the project's downloads page and run it like a normal jar. Building from source needs JDK 25 and an internet connection, using the Gradle tasks described in the README.
Additional notes

- Branches for Minecraft versions 1.8 to 1.21.3 live in a separate archive repository.
