Magma is the next generation of hybrid minecraft server softwares.
Magma is based on Forge and Paper, meaning it can run both Craftbukkit/Spigot/Paper plugins and Forge mods.
We hope to eliminate all issues with craftbukkit forge servers. In the end, we envision a seamless, low lag Magma experience with support for newer 1.12+ versions of Minecraft.
Magma 1.18 is not compatible with vanilla BungeeCord or any of its forks. This is caused by Forge and not a fault of Magma. We cannot fix this ourselves without modifying the client. You might be able to use the Waterfall fork called Lightfall, but it also requires a clientside-mod in order to work and is not officially supported.
You can use our Velocity fork with our clientside mod. Every player needs to install this mod in order to join the server!
Magma 1.18 is not compatible with vanilla Velocity. This is caused by Forge and not a fault of Magma. We cannot fix this ourselves without modifying the client and the proxy.
Magma for Minecraft 1.12 and above can be found in their own repositories.
