Hi guys,

I have been inactive for a while and noticed Bukkit is now inactive as well. I want to host a server again, but what is there to use now that Bukkit is dead?

What is the popular wrapper that everyone uses now?

Spigot is the main source of non-vanilla functionality for a server.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, what about Sponge?

spigot all day

Bukkit is not in dev anymore but people still use it and plugins are still being made for it.

Sponge is there, but lacks functionality.

But is it fully compatible for the latest minecraft version though?

I wonder if there is a reason craftbukkit can't just be downloaded from the bukkit site... Not sure about that 3rd party link.

I prefer spigot, I never used bukkit in the first place. Spigot provides smooth forums and help for people who run servers.

I use Spigot!

Yes.

I believe the latest version of bukkit is 1.8.6. Though, these can only be found on third-party sites and may contain malware. Use at your own risk!

Use spigot bukkit is updated because when you install BuildTools(the new way to get a mc server with plugins) it generates craftbukkit and a spigot server

pretty much use spigot or look at this Dedicated Server=Spigot Host computer=Bukkit
