SilkMC
Folia’s regional threading, without abandoning the ecosystem operators already know. SilkMC targets parallel server performance while keeping compatibility in reach.

Overview
Folia splits the world into independently-ticking regions and runs them in parallel. That’s a huge win for spread-out players — and historically a huge compatibility cliff for plugins. SilkMC is built to soften that cliff.
It keeps Folia’s regional architecture but layers in compatibility shims and clearer per-region tick budgets, so more of the existing ecosystem keeps working while you scale across cores.
Why SilkMC
- Region-based multithreaded ticking from Folia
- Compatibility shims for single-thread plugin assumptions
- Per-region tick budgets and diagnostics
- Designed for high-core-count hardware
- Transparent about what is and isn’t parallel-safe
Install
SilkMC is experimental — test on a staging instance before production. Java 21+ required.
