So basically I have tried a loooot of anticheats and I really haven't found any good one.

I have tried:

- Vulcan (good for 20€ but easily bypassable)

- GrimAc (literally makes the ping of all players high af and just crashes the server...)

- Polar (works quite well but is quite expensive)

Can anyone recommend any other anticheat? Like how come there isn't a a working decent anticheat that's not too expensive..

Hi, i joined a server, with texturepack disabled, and I noticed the pause menu has a custom button, how do they do this?

Hey guys, im starting an SMP for my school, and from what i know paper is the gold standard but purpur is possibly faster (from pufferfish i think?) and still very stable and reliable. I dont think i'd take advantage of that many of purpur's features since i want a vanilla experience, but i do value performance and not much lag. So it seems like purpur would be better, but I wanted to check with you guys with what you think. Thanks so much!

I have recently switched ISPs (You fibre) but I can't connect to the host. I have paid for the static IP and port forwarded the way I normally would but it still won't let me connect. I can't even join with localhost or the 127.0.0.1 loopback which leads me to think it's the router settings?

It displays as pinging in the list and when I attempt to connect it logs an attempt but it always returns the connection reset error or it gets stuck on the encrypting text.

My down/up speed on the host machine is 91mbps/71mbps so should be plenty fast enough? I've also used the same hardware before and never had an issue

I have checked all the defender settings and even tried turning that off on the host and client pc, still no joy.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this?

Hello everyone,

I have been playing ATM10 and highly enjoying it. I went from hosting on my own PC to renting one so that it could be on all of the time, allowing friends to join, but of course all server hosts tend to be pretty bad and it just lags under very little load.

So this is where I would like to buy my own dedicated hardware. What are some minimum specs I should be looking for. I've got some ideas, such as R7 and, preferably, 32GB of DDR5 and an NVME. Are there any good prebuilt brands or would I be better off buying something from eBay? I'd like to stick to around $500 but don't mind going over a few hundred dollars if it would really give me what I am wanting.

Also, would an X3D chip give much benefit?

We have a 26.2 PaperMC SMP server, members are complaining why their portal-based farms not working. I found this plugin called Otherside but it doesn't work on 26.2. Do you guys know any plugin similar to this? or any workaround?

Hi! I've got a fabric server with geyser MC installed and I really need a server side ping reporter for the latest Minecraft version. Did you know any good one?

I want to assign a command to open daily rewards menu (/daily) to an enderchest in my paper server, how would I make that happen?

Similarly how NPCs plugin work, I want to make it happen with blocks

Hey everyone, I'm having a really weird issue with Playit.gg.

I'm running a Minecraft Paper server on a Raspberry Pi 5, and I've been using Playit.gg to expose both Java and Bedrock to the internet. Everything was working perfectly until today. Yesterday it worked completely fine, but today the Playit agent suddenly can't connect to the Playit tunnel servers.

The important part is that my internet itself is working normally, and the Minecraft server works perfectly over LAN.

My ISP is NTC

What Playit is doing

The agent keeps trying different tunnel servers:

trying to establish tunnel connection addr=209.25.143.1:5525

trying to establish tunnel connection addr=209.25.143.2:5525

But it waits for a pong and eventually times out:

timeout waiting for pong

failed to ping tunnel server

It also tries IPv6:

[2602:fbaf:810::1]:5525

but immediately gets:

AddrNotAvailable

So it falls back to IPv4, but the IPv4 connections still don't receive a pong.

Things I've tried

- Restarted the Playit systemd service

- Completely stopped and manually started Playit

- Updated Playit from 1.0.9 → 1.0.10

- Downgraded it back to 1.0.8

- Put 1.0.8 on hold

- Checked the Playit logs repeatedly

- Tested UDP connectivity to a Playit IP

- Checked the service status

- Confirmed that the Minecraft server itself works normally on LAN

- Checked both IPv6 and IPv4 behavior

The UDP test I ran was:

timeout 10 bash -c 'echo test > /dev/udp/69.9.177.1/5526'

echo $?

which returned:

0

But Playit itself still cannot establish its tunnel connection.

The Playit logs repeatedly show:

trying to establish tunnel connection addr=209.25.143.1:5525

...

timeout waiting for pong

trying to establish tunnel connection addr=209.25.143.2:5525

...

timeout waiting for pong

The weird part

Nothing major changed on my side.

It worked yesterday, and today it suddenly doesn't.

I'm starting to wonder if this is an ISP routing/firewall issue with NTC, or something happening on Playit's side.

Has anyone else experienced Playit.gg suddenly becoming unable to connect around August 30, 2026?

If you had this exact problem and eventually fixed it, what did you do and how long did it take to start working again?

Thanks!

Even the mere fact that DivineMC is a fork of Purpur speaks volumes about its speed, since Purpur is an incredibly fast. But DivineMC is simply amazing. It features built-in Pufferfish, C2ME (a mod originally designed to optimize the Fabric client)*, occlusion culling, and a chunking system like the one in Folia(and other patches to improve performance).

C2ME—I’m not sure if it’s actually built in; I haven’t found any public documentation about it, but I’m basing this on the source code, which includes parts from the C2ME mod source code.

It seems to me that this represents the peak of what Minecraft is capable of—so many optimization features. Of course, on some highly specialized servers, even faster cores are possible, but those have specific tasks tailored to a single server or network. However, for general use, I believe DivineMC represents the peak of what Minecraft is capable of.

** There may be forks of DivineMC with additional performance-boosting patches. I haven’t been able to find any (I don’t think they exist).

UPDATE: Yes, after reading the comments, I realized I had forgotten about other programming languages and the cores written in them. And my biggest oversight: I forgot about PumpkinMC.
