Folia Server Jar Download — All Versions
Paper with regionised multithreading for massive player counts.
What Folia is and who it's for
Folia is PaperMC's regionised multithreading fork of Paper: instead of one main thread, independent regions of the world tick in parallel. That lets very large servers with players spread across the map use many CPU cores.
Folia is not a general upgrade. Most plugins must be written specifically for it, and small servers or servers where everyone plays in one place gain nothing. Downloads come from PaperMC's official build server with SHA-256. If you are unsure, use Paper.
