Optimised server core

Minecraft servers that run on
254 MB of RAM.

ColibriMC lets you design on Purpur 26.2 and go live on an optimised core built for small memory budgets — with adapted plugins, a player limit that matches your plan, and no per-tick overhead.

01 — two run modes

One jar, two very different days.

Switch engines with a single flag. The same ColibriMC.jar pulls a full server environment for design day, and a lean core for launch day.

Design

ColibriMC downloads and boots the official Purpur 26.2 build straight from GitHub Releases. You get the familiar server environment — commands, worlds, adapted plugins — to lay out your map without leaving the project.

  • Downloads and verifies the Purpur 26.2 release automatically
  • Runs the adapted plugin builds we ship on /plugins
  • Ideal for building the lobby before you go live
  • Starts in seconds, not minutes 
java -jar ColibriMC.jar --server-mode=editor
Live

ColibriMC boots an optimised core written from the ground up for Minecraft servers: no legacy layer, no per-tick overhead you never asked for. The player limit from your plan is applied as soon as somebody connects.

  • Optimised core: minimal RAM and CPU footprint
  • Boots and connects players in under three seconds
  • Your plan player limit enforced on login
  • Adapted plugins from /plugins keep working 
java -jar ColibriMC.jar --server-mode=production

02 — plugins

The plugins you already use, adapted.

Not every plugin on the internet runs on ColibriMC. The ones we support ship as adapted builds that behave exactly like the originals — same commands, same config, same permissions. Drop them in the plugins folder like you always have.
