Cuberite is a lightweight, fast, and extensible Minecraft-compatible multiplayer game server written in C++ with a flexible Lua plugin API. It supports Minecraft Java Edition protocol versions 1.8 through 1.12.2 and runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and Raspberry Pi.
Use cases
- host a lightweight minecraft server on a raspberry pi
- run a minecraft server with low memory and cpu usage
- write custom minecraft server plugins in lua
- self-host a minecraft server for java edition 1.8 to 1.12.2
- replace the vanilla minecraft server with a faster alternative
- run a minecraft server on android or embedded devices
When to choose
- you need a performant minecraft server for resource-constrained hardware like a raspberry pi
- you want to extend server behavior with a lua plugin api
- your players use java edition 1.8 through 1.12.2
- you want a free and open source self-hosted minecraft server
When to avoid
