## FAQ

### What is Purpur server hosting?

Purpur server hosting is dedicated infrastructure for running Purpur, a fork of PaperMC that adds hundreds of gameplay configuration options and Pufferfish performance patches. Purpur is fully Paper-compatible — every Paper, Spigot, and Bukkit plugin runs on it without modification.

### Purpur vs Paper — which should I choose?

Choose Paper if you want maximum performance and don't need extensive vanilla tweaking. Choose Purpur if you want to customize how vanilla Minecraft behaves (mob behaviors, ridable mobs, drops, per-world configs) without writing plugins. Performance is comparable — Purpur adds Pufferfish patches that often make it competitive with or faster than vanilla Paper.

### Can I run my Paper plugins on Purpur?

Yes — Purpur is 100% Paper plugin compatible. Every plugin from SpigotMC, Bukkit Dev, Hangar, Modrinth, or Paper-specific repositories runs on Purpur without modification. EssentialsX, LuckPerms, WorldEdit, ViaVersion, CoreProtect — all of them work.

### What kind of gameplay tweaks does Purpur add?

Purpur exposes 200+ vanilla mechanics as YAML config options, including: ridable mobs (polar bears, pandas, etc.), custom mob drops and behavior, configurable mob caps per world, zombie reinforcement chances, creeper head drops, end credits skip, per-world game rule overrides, and many more. Most of these used to require custom plugins or mods.

### How much does Purpur server hosting cost?

Purpur server hosting at XGamingServer starts at $10.50/month for 6GB RAM, comfortable for 20–40 player customized SMPs. Larger servers up to 24GB ($42/month) handle 200+ player networks. All plans include AMD Ryzen 9 7950X cores, NVMe storage, DDoS protection, and 24/7 support.

### Can I switch between Paper and Purpur?

Yes. Switch between Paper and Purpur with one click through the control panel any time. Your worlds, plugins, and configs all carry over (Paper config stays valid on Purpur). You can experiment with Purpur features and roll back to Paper anytime if you change your mind.
