Is every Paper plugin guaranteed compatible?
API signatures are preserved, but each build/combination needs testing. Reflection, NMS, and adapters require particular care. Doctor checks metadata, not complete runtime behavior.
Is all game logic asynchronous?
No. One real main thread owns live game state. Workers perform permitted I/O or snapshot computation; mutations return to main.
How many players can it support?
There is no universal number. Density, worlds, plugins, CPU, storage, networking, and configuration determine load. Wizard estimates are not capacity results. Measure your workload.
How does HUB differ from Survival?
HUB deliberately stops five static-lobby mechanics including block/villager ticks. Other wizard profiles choose DEFAULT/native behavior. Do not use HUB for normal farms/survival. See preset effects.
Do I need a restart after apply?
Yes. Apply saves a backed-up config; startup settings activate after full restart. Plugin reload does not replace them. Status watches are separate runtime controls.
Why are new keys missing from my old file?
Existing operator files are preserved. Missing keys use defaults. Add reviewed settings using the reference rather than deleting the entire file.
Can I return to Paper by replacing the JAR?
Only if all data is compatible. Nusa zstd chunks need their custom reader; disabling the writer does not convert them. Use a pre-migration backup or fully verified conversion. See rollback.
Is the web dashboard hosted inside the server?
The embedded setup UI was removed. Cloud access is provided to licensed buyers. Optional loopback JSON is a data integration, not a setup UI. Console setup remains available.
Can safemode stay enabled permanently?
It bypasses every Nusa guard and retains some startup resources. Use it for emergency recovery, fix the cause, then restart. Read its limits.
Does pause pregen stop work instantly?
It stops new admission. Accepted requests can finish, and job progress is not persisted across restart. See pregen.
