Server software

Purpur server hosting

Purpur is Paper with the panels taken off: a drop-in fork that keeps the speed and plugin support, then hands you a config dial for nearly everything vanilla hard-codes. It is the server for operators who read changelogs for fun and want the game to behave exactly their way.

  • 88 modpacks ready to launch
  • Every pack booted on our hardware before it went on sale
  • 5.00 GHz floor on Heavy
  • NVMe on every plan
  • Off-site backups

Purpur takes Paper, keeps everything that makes it fast and plugin-friendly, and then opens up the game itself. Mobs you can ride, farms that work differently, a dozen small rules bent your way: there is a line in the config for it. Operators who love Purpur tend to be tinkerers, the kind who treat the server itself as the project, not just the world on it.

A server this tunable deserves hosting that stays out of your way. Every Purpur server we sell is installed and tested on our hardware first, plugins add from the dashboard in one click, and the live console is right there when you want to watch a tweak land. Off-site backups run on every plan, so an experiment gone wrong never costs you the world.

Why run Purpur here

  • Your Paper and Spigot plugins carry straight over: Purpur sits downstream of Paper, so the catalog you already know just works.
  • Tweak, save, watch it land: the live console and one-click plugin installs turn config experiments into a five-minute loop instead of an FTP ritual.
  • Installed and tested on our hardware before we sell it, with off-site backups on every plan for the day a tweak goes sideways.

Frequently asked questions

Will my Paper or Spigot plugins work on Purpur?
Yes. Purpur is a fork of Paper, which is itself built on Spigot, so plugins written for either run on Purpur without changes. If a plugin works on your current Paper server, expect it to work here. The extra gameplay options are additive: leave the dials alone and the server behaves exactly like Paper.
Should I pick Purpur or Paper?
Pick Paper if you want a fast, unfussy plugin server and never plan to open a config file. Pick Purpur if the config file is half the fun. You lose nothing by choosing it: with the extra options left at defaults it plays like Paper, and your friends join with the stock client either way.
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, and your backup space matches your server space.
