What is a Spigot server?

Spigot has been the standard for plugin-based Minecraft servers for over 10 years. As a fork of CraftBukkit, Spigot has shaped the plugin landscape and remains the foundation that many other server implementations like Paper are built on. If you want classic modded Minecraft with plugins – economy systems, permissions, anti-grief, minigames – Spigot is the reliable classic.

Spigot's biggest advantage is its enormous plugin variety. On SpigotMC, you'll find thousands of free plugins for virtually every use case: WorldGuard for protected areas, EssentialsX for basic server commands, LuckPerms for permissions, Vault for economy integration, mcMMO for RPG skills and much more. The community is huge and active.

Compared to Paper, Spigot has fewer performance patches built in – if you need maximum performance, Paper is the better choice. However, Spigot is lighter and more conservative, which is the better option in some scenarios (e.g. with very old plugins incompatible with Paper).

At Mine-Hoster, you install Spigot with one click through our GamePanel. Plugins are uploaded directly or installed from the panel. Your server runs on modern hardware, with DDoS protection and no contract commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Spigot

Should I choose Spigot or Paper?

For most projects, we recommend Paper because it performs better. Spigot is suitable if you want to use a very old plugin that's not compatible with Paper.

How do I install plugins on Spigot?

Upload the plugin's .jar file via our file manager into the /plugins folder, or install plugins directly from the GamePanel plugin browser. After a server restart, they're active.

How much RAM does a Spigot server need?

For 1-10 players, 2-4 GB RAM is sufficient. With many plugins (WorldEdit, Dynmap etc.) we recommend 4-6 GB. Larger servers need 8 GB or more.

Can I switch to Paper later?

Yes, switching from Spigot to Paper is straightforward – your world and plugins are preserved. You can change the server software at any time through our GamePanel.

General questions about contract terms, payment & more can be found in our Minecraft Server FAQ.
