# Plugins and datapacks

Our Server is running on 1.19 **Paper**, therefore we can use some plugins and not 100% rely on datapacks. But why Paper? Well, Paper is a high performance fork of the Spigot Minecraft Server that aims to fix gameplay and mechanics inconsistencies as well as to improve performance.

**It's stupid fast** - Paper contains numerous improvements and optimizations resulting in a significant improvement in performance. Paper also includes the next version of Timings, enabling you to quickly find out what's slowing down your server.

**An expanded API** - Paper extends and improves the Bukkit and Spigot APIs so that developers have more features and functionality at your fingertips. All the meanwhile, Paper retains compatibility with plugins written for Spigot and Bukkit. That way we can use any plugins we desire and it also doesn't affect the performance of the server.

{% hint style="info" %}
Technically we are not fully Vanilla Minecraft server due to use of plugins and a few datapacks, but since those plugins are only for moderation purposes and a few gameplay enhancements plugins that are Multiplayer Survival friendly, we are as close to pure and vanilla as possible.
