Server software

Leaves server hosting

Leaves is Paper with the vanilla put back. It keeps the plugin ecosystem and performance work that made Paper the default, then restores the vanilla behaviors Paper changed along the way. Purists and technical players pick it when farms and contraptions need to work exactly like they do in single player.

Every performance fork makes trades, and Paper's show up in odd places: a farm that ran for years in vanilla stalls, a contraption fires differently, an old quirk you built around simply stops existing. Leaves is the fork for people who notice. It starts from Paper, keeps the plugin API, and restores vanilla behavior piece by piece, so technical players get plugin support without wondering what quietly changed underneath their base.

A vanilla-faithful server only proves itself under real players, so Leaves is installed and tested on our own hardware before we sell it. Plugins install from the dashboard in a click, the live console shows exactly what your server is doing, and off-site backups on every plan mean a years-old farm design is never one bad afternoon away from gone.

Why run Leaves here

  • Leaves keeps Paper's plugin compatibility, so add-ons install from your dashboard in a click instead of a round trip through SFTP.
  • We install and test Leaves on our own hardware before we sell it, so vanilla-faithful means verified, not assumed.
  • Off-site backups on every plan and an upgrade path that keeps your world, because a technical base is years of work you should never re-dig.

Frequently asked questions

Will my Paper plugins work on Leaves?
Almost certainly. Leaves is built on Paper and keeps its plugin API, so plugins written for Paper, Spigot, or Bukkit run without changes. The point of the fork is not a new plugin system; it is the same plugin surface with vanilla behavior underneath. If a plugin runs on your current Paper server, expect it to run here.
Should I pick Leaves over Paper?
Pick Leaves when exact vanilla behavior matters: you build technical farms, you play with people who do, or you want plugin support without wondering what a performance fork changed underneath you. If nothing on Paper ever felt off to you, Paper remains a great default. Leaves earns its keep the day a vanilla-exact contraption has to work.
Can we switch to a different pack later?
Yes. Your dashboard can switch the server to another pack or server type. Take a backup first and the old world stays restorable.
Are backups included?
Yes. Off-site cloud backups are included on every plan, on a configurable hourly to weekly cadence, with up to 20 kept.
