A fast, customizable and compatible open-source server for Minecraft: Java Edition. Glowstone is a lightweight, from scratch, open-source Minecraft server written in Java that supports plugins written for the Bukkit API and its major forks, Spigot and Paper. The main goals of the project are to provide a lightweight implementation of the Bukkit API and Minecraft server where exact vanilla functionality is not needed or higher performance is desired than the official software can deliver. Glowstone makes use of a thread-per-world model and performs synchronization only when necessitated by the Bukkit API.

Features

  • It is 100% open source
  • While CraftBukkit and most other mods are open source, they rely on decompiled Minecraft source code
  • Glowstone's code is completely original
  • It is easy to contribute to Glowstone's development
  • Glowstone supports all plugins written for the Bukkit, Spigot and Paper APIs natively
  • Glowstone's simplicity affords it a performance improvement over CraftBukkit and other servers
