What is Spigot
Spigot, a modified Minecraft server derived from CraftBukkit, offers enhanced performance, configurable internal server values, and additional features while ensuring compatibility with existing plugins and Vanilla Minecraft mechanics. Users can adjust parameters like growth rates, hunger speed, and damage thresholds, and track in-game locations. With a comprehensive moderation toolkit, Spigot allows actions such as kicking, banning, killing, teleporting, and item distribution, as well as the ability to spawn entities, items, and terraform the world through coordinate-based commands. Boasting over 20,000 plugins,
Spigot enables extensive customization, allowing players to become wizards, implement inventory sorting, introduce NPC merchants to villages, and create personalized Realms with interconnected PVP, mini-games, survival, and creative worlds using BungeeCord.
