Server Types

Nova makes it really easy to change what server you are running on.

By default, we support 8 different server JARs:

• SPIGOT
• PAPERMC
• PUFFERFISH
• PURPUR
• ADVANCED_SLIME_PAPER
• BUNGEECORD
• WATERFALL
• VELOCITY
• FOLIA

You can also use a custom JAR, which is shown in the next page.

You can change the server type by using the serverType method as such:

runServer {
    minecraftVersion("1.21.4")
    serverType(ServerType.PAPERMC)
}

IMPORTANT

By default, the server type is set to SpigotMC.
