Glowstone Minecraft Server Software (1.12.2) is a lightweight, from scratch, open source Minecraft server written in Java that supports plugins written for the Bukkit API and its major forks, Spigot and Paper.

The main goals of the project are to provide a lightweight implementation of the Bukkit API and Minecraft server where exact vanilla functionality is not needed or higher performance is desired than the official software can deliver. Glowstone makes use of a thread-per-world model and performs synchronization only when necessitated by the Bukkit API.

Features:

Glowstone has a few key advantages over CraftBukkit:

  • It is 100% open source. While CraftBukkit and most other mods are open source, they rely on decompiled Minecraft source code. Glowstone’s code is completely original.
  • Because of this, it is easy to contribute to Glowstone’s development. The barrier of entry to contributions is lower because there is no need to work around decompiled source or maintain a minimal diff.
  • Glowstone supports all plugins written for the Bukkit, Spigot and Paper APIs natively. In practice, some plugins may try to make use of parts of the API which are not yet implemented, but in a completed state Glowstone would support all Bukkit plugins.
  • Glowstone’s simplicity affords it a performance improvement over CraftBukkit and other servers, making it especially suited for situations where a large amount of players must be supported but vanilla game features are not needed.
