PLATFORM GUIDE / PURPUR
PAPER WITH MORE SERVER CONTROL
Running Sculk on Purpur.
Purpur is a Paper-based runtime aimed at server owners who want more gameplay and configuration controls. It suits communities that deliberately customise vanilla behaviour.
RUNTIME PROFILE
What changes when this is your server runtime.
- PLUGIN MODEL
- Purpur sits in the Paper family, so server owners generally approach plugin compatibility the same way they would on Paper.
- CUSTOM BEHAVIOUR
- Its expanded settings can intentionally alter movement, combat, entities, and player interactions compared with a near-vanilla server.
- CHOOSE IT WHEN
- Your server relies on deliberate gameplay customisation and you are comfortable testing those choices after updates.
BEFORE GOING LIVE
Validate the stack, then enforce.
- 01Document the Purpur settings that change player movement, combat, or item use.
- 02Run a short staff-led test after changing any gameplay-affecting setting.
- 03Use Sculk's staged actions while you validate new mechanics with real players.
