BungeeCord is as well a user-friendly software which is easy to setup, and allows users to switch much more easily. Furthermore, it will allow you yourself to gain knowledge from others teachings rather than reading documentation which can be a bit long and annoying. Bungee has a large community with a large amount of experienced users to help others with small-large problems, which will become handy whenever you're in trouble and need a helping hand. Lilypad distributes its resource usage among servers (up to you).Īs speaking generally and not comparing them (as its not much possible, 2 very different frameworks at this point), I'll go over some advantages to BungeeCord. Lilypad has a complicated setup for a layman Not a large community, support may or may not be limited I will go over some of the downsides of Lilypad I noticed when I was using it: This can be considered an upside for large networks however can be a downside for small networks. As well, Lilypad has 'Bukkit-Connect' which intends to take load off the proxy. Lilypad also has an extensive developer-friendly API and can be easily adapted to multiple plugins. LilyPad has been told to be highly secure with handling it's players and data, however has some exploits in the past. Not to forget that LilyPad dynamically takes up resources which doesn't require you to allocate resources that you may not need. Which is well-defined, highly concurrent, and exhibits high performance. One great upside to LilyPad (atleast the one that's not deprecated) is that it runs on Go. Anyhow, I have experience running both software under intense use and day-to-day use, so I'll just share my 2 cents. As this is where people using BungeeCord get their help, etc. Well, considering that you're asking the Spigot forums, you'll most probably be getting some biased answers. Should I use Lilypad or BungeeCord, and why?
#LILY PAD CONTROLLER PLUGIN UPGRADE#
Depending on donations, I will upgrade the hardware, increase player slots, ect. In my upcoming network, I expect an average of 400 players in the first week with the planned advertising. There aren't many Lilypad developers out there. Why is that? Lilypad has a hard and limited API, which is a big disadvantage. I've noticed that some big networks like OmegaRealm and ArkhamNetwork use Lilypad instead of BungeeCord. Every message from each plugin, and every feature is configurable. The maintainer of Lilypad itself isn't that active either. That is probably because unlike BungeeCord, it isn't a reverse proxy.Īlmost all the most downloaded Lilypad resources are out of date and buggy. I also noticed that there are not many resources for it, like there are for BungeeCord, and that the Lilypad proxy doesn't accept plugins. However the performance was great, exactly the same as it was with BungeeCord. Once I got the network up, I began to search for differences, and I found some pretty important ones. Setting it up was pretty different than BungeeCord and really confusing at the beginning, but then I thought it was actually really simple. So today I decided to test Lilypad, as I never had before.
