Server Software

This is what you run on the machine nobody plays on. The tag covers server jars and the performance-focused forks most owners actually use, modded server launchers, and proxy software that puts several servers behind one address and moves players between them. Choosing correctly matters: the server software decides which plugin or mod ecosystem you can use and how much load the server will take before the tick rate drops.
