## What is Mohist

Mohist is a Forge-based hybrid server (the successor to MCPC+, Cauldron and Thermos) that lets you load Forge mods into the `mods` folder and Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugins like EssentialsX, LuckPerms and WorldGuard into the `plugins` folder on the same instance. Choose it when you want a modpack experience plus the plugin ecosystem's admin tools. The trade-off: hybrids are less stable than dedicated Paper or Forge servers, and many mod/plugin authors won't support hybrid setups, so test your stack. Mohist publishes builds tied to specific Minecraft versions (popular ones include 1.20.1, 1.18.2, 1.16.5 and 1.12.2); always download from the official site, mohistmc.com.

## FAQ

### What is Mohist and what is it used for?

Mohist is a Minecraft Forge hybrid server that implements the Bukkit, Spigot and Paper APIs. It lets one server run Forge mods and server-side Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugins at the same time, so you can play a modpack while also using admin plugins like EssentialsX, LuckPerms and WorldGuard.

### How is Mohist different from Paper, Spigot, Forge and Fabric?

Plain Forge and Fabric run mods but not Bukkit/Spigot plugins, while Paper and Spigot run plugins but not Forge mods. Mohist is a hybrid that bridges both, reading a `mods` folder and a `plugins` folder on the same server. The trade-off is reduced stability, and many mod and plugin authors will not support hybrid setups, so test your stack.

### Which Minecraft versions does Mohist support?

Mohist publishes builds tied to specific Minecraft versions, with popular ones including 1.20.1, 1.18.2, 1.16.5 and 1.12.2. Download the build matching the version you want from the official site, mohistmc.com, and make sure your mods and plugins target that same version.

### How much RAM does a Mohist server need?

A hybrid needs more headroom than a plain server because it carries both the mod loader and the Bukkit/Spigot/Paper layer. A light setup runs on 4-6GB, a medium modded server wants 6-10GB, and a heavy modpack plus a full plugin stack often needs 10GB or more. Fast single-thread CPU matters because mods and plugins share the main thread. XGamingServer Mohist hosting starts at $10.50/month.
