Leaf is a high-performance fork of the Paper Minecraft server software, balancing performance optimizations, vanilla mechanics, and stability. It adds async pathfinding, mob spawning, and entity tracking, a linear region file format, extensive YAML configuration with hot reload, and full Spigot/Paper plugin compatibility.
Use cases
- run a high-performance Minecraft server with less lag
- host a large Minecraft network under heavy player load
- replace Paper with a faster drop-in server that keeps plugins working
- reduce Minecraft server disk usage with linear region files
- tune server performance with fine-grained YAML config and hot reload
- allow non-ASCII characters in Minecraft usernames
- track server errors in detail with integrated Sentry
When to choose
- you run a Paper/Spigot server and want better performance without losing plugin compatibility
- you operate a large-scale or high-load Minecraft network
- you want configurable optimizations while preserving vanilla gameplay behavior
- you want async entity operations and modern dependency updates
When to avoid
- you need a vanilla or Forge/Fabric modded server with mod support
- you require strict upstream Paper behavior or official Paper support
- you are unwilling to take backups when switching server software
- you need a license-guaranteed fork (license is non-standard)
