What is Folia
Folia is a high-performance Minecraft server forked off the popular Paper minecraft servers. This server is optimized to take advantage of CPU multithreading. This server type may not be compatible with all popular plugins and mods, but can be quite useful if you aim to have a very high player count or plan to host game modes that naturally spread players out, such as SkyBlock or SMP. Currently our server packages are not setup to take advantage of Folia multithreading capabilities. If you would like a custom server package with extra cores, please contact [email protected] or open a Support Ticket and this can be arranged.
