Folia is a fork of the Paper Minecraft server that adds regionised multithreading, splitting the world into independent regions each with its own tick loop running in parallel on a thread pool. It is a standalone dedicated server software, not a plugin or library, aimed at large servers with many spread-out players.
Use cases
- run a large Minecraft SMP server with hundreds of players
- host a skyblock server that scales across many CPU cores
- improve Minecraft server TPS with multithreaded region ticking
- replace Paper for a server with players spread across the world
- self-host a high-performance Minecraft dedicated server
When to choose
- your server has many players naturally spread out (skyblock, SMP)
- you have a machine with 16+ physical cores
- you need better tick performance than single-threaded Paper can provide
When to avoid
- your server has few players concentrated in one area
- your plugins rely on the main thread or are not Folia-compatible
- you need a small-server setup where Paper is simpler and sufficient
