Minecraft server software
A high-performance server fork of Paper, without behavioral changes. Dozens of optimizations for your Minecraft server.
Why Gale?
Zero Behavioral Changes
Gale changes nothing about how your server runs. Every mechanic, every plugin behavior stays exactly as Paper intended. No surprises, no incompatibilities.
Drop-in Replacement
Replace your Paper jar with Gale and instantly get better performance. No config changes, no plugin migration, no compatibility headaches. It just works.
Dozens of Optimizations
Performance patches gathered from across the Minecraft community, carefully reviewed and merged. Every optimization is tested to ensure zero behavioral changes.
Modern Hardware Optimizations
SIMD-accelerated math for collisions and lighting, Java virtual threads for parallel entity processing, and cache-friendly data structures for modern CPUs.
Smarter Caching
Thread-local caching for chunks, entities, block states, and recipes. Reduces memory contention and speeds up repeated lookups across the board.
Up-to-Date with Paper
Regular upstream merges keep Gale synchronized with the latest Paper improvements, security fixes, and Minecraft version support.
