Magma is the next generation of hybrid minecraft server softwares.

Magma is based on Forge and Paper, meaning it can run both Craftbukkit/Spigot/Paper plugins and Forge mods.

We hope to eliminate all issues with craftbukkit forge servers. In the end, we envision a seamless, low lag Magma experience with support for newer 1.12+ versions of Minecraft.

Magma for 1.12.2 requires Java 8. Java 9 or higher do not work due to Forge 1.12.2.

If you need a higher version of Java for other applications, you can install both versions and use "<path to java.exe>" -jar magma.jar instead of java -jar magma.jar.

Magma is compatible with Velocity, but it does not support modern forwarding.

If you want to use Magma in a BungeeCord network, we recommend to use Waterfall/Travertine or HexaCord instead since it has better Forge support than BungeeCord.

In order to use Magma with BungeeCord, you have to enable forge-support in the BungeeCord config, set online-mode to false in server.properties and bungeecord to true in spigot.yml.

Magma for Minecraft 1.16 and above can be found in their own repositories.
