Frequently asked questions

How do I start a Spigot server from scratch?
Download the Spigot server JAR file, create a new folder for your server, place the JAR inside, and run it from command line or a batch/shell script. The server will generate necessary configuration files and a world folder on first launch.
What's the difference between Spigot and vanilla Minecraft server?
Spigot is optimized for performance and allows you to install plugins that add features and customization, while vanilla servers run the unmodified game with no plugin support. Spigot can handle more players smoothly due to its performance improvements.
