About this project

Arclight is a server software for Minecraft (supporting versions 1.20 and 1.21) that implements the Bukkit API on top of common mod loaders using Mixin. This allows server administrators to run Bukkit/Spigot plugins alongside Forge or Fabric mods in a single server environment, bridging the gap between the plugin and modding ecosystems. Installation is straightforward: download the JAR file and launch it with `java -jar arclight.jar nogui`, where the `nogui` argument disables the built-in server control panel for headless operation. The project provides documentation through its wiki, an issue tracker for bug reports, and community support via Discord and a QQ group chat. Downloads and version support status are available on the official website. Arclight is licensed under GPL v3 and is sponsored by BisectHosting and YourKit.
