Summary
Installing Spigot or Paper on a Minecraft server can significantly enhance the gameplay experience while optimizing performance and providing additional features and functionality not found in the vanilla game. Spigot and Paper are based on the Bukkit API, allowing server administrators to add plugins and mods to their Minecraft server. In addition to improved performance and flexibility, Spigot and Paper offer better security and stability than vanilla Minecraft servers.
