Minestom
1.21.11 Lightweight Minecraft server
Minestom is an open-source Minecraft server development framework that allows developers to build custom Minecraft server software from scratch without relying on Mojang’s original server code. Instead of functioning as a traditional server implementation, Minestom acts as a lightweight library that provides the core networking and gameplay infrastructure needed to create Minecraft server applications. Developers can use it to design custom game modes, experimental server architectures, or entirely new gameplay systems while maintaining compatibility with the Minecraft Java Edition client. The framework focuses on performance, modularity, and extensibility, allowing developers to include only the features required for their specific server projects.
