Hey! I want to start either a paper geyser server or a bedrock server but I’m not sure which one to choose as some of my friends on bedrock want mods that add entities and such but that’s not really possible with geyser, while with java they want to use mods (along with myself) so that I could use plugins like coreprotect, town plugins and biome plugins and data packs and possibly other stuff too.
I’m really on a 50/50 split as I do want to keep both sides engaged in the server. Any ideas?

Paper + Geyser is the way to go
Bedrock servers are far behind Java servers
Also, try to avoid data packs, they often cause server performance to tank
Obviously to add some functionality it might be necessary but just in general
plugins from spigotmc, hangar and modrinth will be your best friend 👍🏻

If you mind me asking how so?
And never heard of hangar before

- Significantly smaller community: less resources, tutorials, and people with the knowledge to help
- Significantly smaller history: Java servers were around almost a decade before Bedrock
- Java has had plugin support for over a decade: Bedrock simply doesn’t have an alternative to this
- There’s an incredible amount of tools available for Java that Bedrock has no alternative for
- Java, namely Paper and forks, has many performance optimizations
- Java worlds are folders: Bedrock worlds are stored as LevelDB

These are probably the most surface level points
