Cardboard is a Fabric mod that implements the Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugin API on FabricMC servers. It allows Minecraft server admins to run plugins written for Bukkit and its derivatives on a modded Fabric server.
Use cases
- run bukkit plugins on a fabric server
- use spigot plugins with fabric mods
- paper api implementation for fabric
- mix fabric mods and bukkit plugins on one server
- migrate a paper server to fabric while keeping plugins
- host a modded minecraft server with plugin support
When to choose
- you want to combine Fabric mods with existing Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugins
- you need a plugin API on a Fabric modded server
- you're running a recent supported Minecraft/Fabric version
When to avoid
- you need full compatibility with every Bukkit plugin (Cardboard does not support all plugins)
- you run Minecraft 1.20 or older (unsupported)
- you want a battle-tested production server where vanilla Paper or Spigot would suffice
