FAQ
What Minecraft version does it support?
Potato MC currently targets modern Minecraft client versions (1.20+). Protocol translations are handled internally to accept vanilla clients without requiring client-side mods.
Is Potato MC free?
Yes. Potato MC is completely free and open-source software under the MIT License. It is a fork of the PumpkinMC project with specific optimizations for absolute low-end hardware.
How does it differ from Paper?
Paper is a highly optimized fork of the official Java server. However, it still runs on the JVM and is fundamentally bound by Java's single-threaded legacy architecture. Potato MC is a clean-room rewrite in Rust from the ground up.
How do I migrate my existing world?
Currently, world conversion from standard Anvil formats (Vanilla/Paper) is in an experimental state. We recommend starting fresh worlds on Potato MC until the conversion tooling is stabilized.
