PLATFORM GUIDE / PAPER
PERFORMANCE WITH A FAMILIAR PLUGIN SURFACE
Running Sculk on Paper.
Paper builds on the Spigot ecosystem with additional performance work and server controls. It is a common choice when you want a familiar plugin experience while prioritising a responsive server.
RUNTIME PROFILE
What changes when this is your server runtime.
- PLUGIN MODEL
- Paper is designed to run the familiar Bukkit and Spigot plugin ecosystem, with extra APIs available to plugins that choose to use them.
- OPERATIONAL FOCUS
- Its additional configuration and performance work make it a strong fit for servers watching tick time under real player load.
- CHOOSE IT WHEN
- You want a modern default for a plugin-heavy server and do not need region-threaded world execution.
BEFORE GOING LIVE
Validate the stack, then enforce.
- 01Keep Paper and every plugin on versions intended for the same Minecraft release.
- 02Test custom items, movement abilities, and combat mechanics before treating alerts as enforcement evidence.
- 03Check your timings and Sculk alerts together after major plugin updates.
