❌ Plugins to Avoid or Replace
These plugins often duplicate server-side optimizations already handled by Paper/Purpur or they introduce new performance issues.
ClearLag / NoMobLag / ServerBooster / AntiLag
Plugins that claim to magically reduce lag usually cause more lag by forcing large cleanup ticks and interrupting natural game logic.
Recommendation: Remove them.
LagAssist
Useful only for analytics and prevention insights.
Disable all “performance optimization” and “lag removal” modules.
Recommendation: Keep minimal or remove.
BookLimiter
Paper already patches book-related crash exploits.
Recommendation: Remove.
LimitPillagers / VillagerOptimiser
Obsolete for Minecraft 1.15+ due to internal AI and spawn behavior improvements.
Recommendation: Remove.
All Mob Stacking Plugins
(StackMob, Stacker, MobStacker, WildStacker)
Mob stacking increases CPU load, reduces AI batching, and introduces dupe bugs.
Recommendation: Remove.
FastAsyncWorldEdit (FAWE)
Can corrupt chunks and break block updates in complex edits.
Recommendation: Replace with WorldEdit.
IllegalStack / ExploitFixer
Paper already patches most duplication and crash exploits.
Recommendation: Remove.
EntityTrackerFixer
Paper includes modern tracking optimizations natively.
Recommendation: Remove.
Orebfuscator
Paper already offers anti-Xray systems.
Recommendation: Remove.
GroupManager / PermissionsEx / bPermissions
Heavily outdated permission systems.
Recommendation: Replace with LuckPerms.
PhantomSMP
Phantom behavior control exists in Paper:
phantoms-only-attack-insomniacs = true
Regardless of the current setting — plugin is unnecessary.
Recommendation: Remove.
PacketLimiter
Duplicate of Paper network protection systems.
Recommendation: Remove.
