A modified version of the vanilla Minecraft server file to allow plugins to be used with the game.
CraftBukkit is a modified Minecraft server that enables plugin support, allowing you to customize your server with thousands of free plugins for features like economy systems, anti-grief protection, custom game modes, and administrative tools without requiring clients to install mods.
A basic CraftBukkit server with few plugins and 5-10 players runs well on 1-2GB RAM. For 10-20 players with multiple plugins, allocate 2-4GB. Servers with 20+ players and extensive plugins require 4-8GB or more depending on your plugin configuration.
Yes, CraftBukkit servers are fully compatible with vanilla Minecraft clients. Players don't need to install any mods or special software - they simply connect using the standard Minecraft client, making it easy to attract players to your server.
Spigot is a high-performance fork of CraftBukkit with additional optimizations and features. While CraftBukkit offers excellent plugin compatibility, Spigot provides better performance for larger servers. Both are compatible with most Bukkit plugins, and we support both platforms.
Add plugins from the Plugins tab in your control panel, and they go in at your next restart. You can also upload plugin .jar files to the plugins folder with the File Manager. Most popular plugins can be found on Bukkit.org or SpigotMC.org.
