Minecraft is one of the most popular video games in the world today, with over 70 million purchased accounts. After playing single-player for a while, the next step most players look into is multiplayer. There are thousands of servers for Minecraft players to join, and starting your own server isn’t too difficult either. The most popular Minecraft server software is called Spigot.

Spigot is an open-source Java project that lets users run their own Minecraft server and add plugins to extend the possibilities of their server.
