How to Build Your Own Performance-Tuned Minecraft Server with SportPaper

Feb 21, 2023 | Programming

Are you ready to create a Minecraft server that performs like a well-oiled machine? Welcome to SportPaper, a performance-tuned fork of Spigot and Paper for Minecraft 1.8. This guide will walk you through the steps to build, patch, and compile your own SportPaper server. Let’s dive in!

Requirements

Before you get started, make sure you have the following installed on your system:

How to Build SportPaper

Building SportPaper is simple! Follow these steps:

  1. Open your shell and navigate to the SportPaper directory.
  2. Run the command: `.sportpaper build`
  3. After the build completes, you will find the final server jar in SportPaper-Server/target.

Maven Configuration

To integrate SportPaper into your projects, here’s how to set up your Maven `pom.xml`:



    sportpaper
    https://maven.pkg.github.com/Electroid/SportPaper


    app.ashcon
    sportpaper-api
    1.8.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT
    provided


    app.ashcon
    sportpaper
    1.8.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT
    provided

Understanding the Build Process: An Analogy

Think of building your SportPaper server as preparing a gourmet meal. You need all the right ingredients (Java, Git, Maven) ready in your kitchen (your system). The `.sportpaper build` command acts like the chef, gathering all your ingredients, mixing them creatively, and cooking them to perfection (creating the server jar). After this “cooking” is done, the finished dish sits beautifully plated (your jar file in the target directory), ready to be served (deployed) to your players!

Contributing to SportPaper

If you want to contribute to the SportPaper project, here’s how:

  • First, make sure you have run `.sportpaper build` and installed the latest version of Git.
  • If you want to add patches, modify files in both SportPaper-API and SportPaper-Server, then commit your changes.
  • Finally, run `.sportpaper rebuild` to apply your changes.

To import any new NMS files, simply add the import in scripts/import/mcdev.sh, and then run `.sportpaper build` again.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during the build process, here are some troubleshooting steps:

  • Ensure all required software (Java, Git, Maven) is installed and correctly configured on your system.
  • Check your scripts for typos or missing configurations.
  • Look for error messages in the shell output for hints about what went wrong.
