## What it is
MultiPaper is a fork of Purpur (Paper) for Minecraft that lets a single world run across multiple coordinated Minecraft servers, with a MultiPaper-Master process storing world data and coordinating chunk ownership and syncing. It enables horizontal scaling of player capacity while preserving vanilla mechanics like mob spawning and redstone.

## Use cases
- scale a single Minecraft world across multiple servers
- increase player capacity without sacrificing vanilla mechanics
- run one shared world with multiple backend Minecraft servers
- distribute chunk ticking across several Minecraft server instances
- balance Minecraft players across servers with BungeeCord or Velocity
- avoid splitting a Minecraft community across separate worlds

## When to avoid
- you rely heavily on Bukkit plugins not designed for multi-server environments
- you cannot tolerate occasional bugs like item duping or chunk corruption in a public beta
- your player count is small enough for a single Paper server
- you need a fully stable, battle-tested production solution with frequent backups
