Modern Server Architecture

Core choices:

• Craft Bucket: No

• Spigot: sure, fork of Bucket, fix bugs, increase performance

• Paper: great, fork of Spigot, fix bugs, increase performance, add API

• Sponge(SpongeVanilla, SpongeForge): not matured platform, no community support

• Glowstone: experimental, don't NMS plugins, under development, unstable

TLDR: Use Paper whenever you can.

Proxy Choice:

• BungeeCord: a plugin, also a proxy server to chain all servers together (oldest, developed by SpigotMC)

• Waterfall: fork of BungeeCord

• Velocity: complete rewrite

Paper Version	Recommended Java Version
1.8 to 1.11	Java 8
1.12 to 1.16.4	Java 11
1.16.5	Java 16
1.17.1-1.18.1+	Java 17

Traditionally, server are designed for a single version. However, since 1.8, spigot released a version of the core started to support all versions up to the most updated version by using hacks for compatibility. The most visible hack is turning "right sward blocking" to "shield". Since we can't change client side.

From that, plugin developers developed ViaVersion to support connection for all future clients.
