Work in progressPapyrus is under active development — expect breaking changes, incomplete features, and limited production support.

Quick Start

1. Download the jar

Use the Download page to grab a Stable release (Papyrus-26.1.2.jar) or the latest Dev CI build (papyrus-server artifact → papyrus-paperclip-*.jar).

Or build from source:

bash
git clone https://github.com/codingsushi79/Papyrus.git
cd Papyrus
./gradlew applyPatches createPaperclipJar syncPapyrusPaperclipJar

2. First run

bash
mkdir papyrus-server && cd papyrus-server
cp /path/to/Papyrus-26.1.2.jar .
java -jar Papyrus-26.1.2.jar

Accept the EULA in eula.txt, then start again. Papyrus generates configs on first boot:

text
config/
  paper-global.yml          # Global server settings
  paper-world-defaults.yml  # Defaults for all worlds
world/
  paper-world.yml           # Per-world overrides (optional)
spigot.yml
bukkit.yml
server.properties

3. Verify branding

On startup you should see:

text
Loading Papyrus <version> for Minecraft 26.1.2

The /version command reports Papyrus as the server brand.
