WindSpigot is a 1.8.8 Minecraft server software focused on improving overall server performance and pvp mechanics. WindSpigot is based on a fork of NachoSpigot.
WindSpigot supports Java 8 to Java 17!
See the releases tab for the latest release. Alternatively, you can download the latest build here. The latest build may be unstable, but contains more features.
WindSpigot makes potion speed and hit delay configurable. We also have NachoSpigot's configurable knockback.
WindSpigot moves heavy work off of the main server thread and splits up the server load.
- Worlds (ticked parallel to each other)
- Entity path searching (entity AI calculations are done async)
- The entity tracker (updated with multiple threads, based on this)
- Knockback (packets are sent with high priority, based on this)
See the patches list below.
