What's Crucible?

Crucible, a fork of Thermos, is a CraftBukkit and Forge server implementation for 1.7.10, providing the ability to load both Forge mods and Bukkit plugins alongside each other.

We aim to close the gaps left by Thermos and extend the support for those still using 1.7.10 by adding support for long broken mods and plugins and fix serious bugs as they appear.

Advantages over Thermos:

• Working/stable build across systems
• Several bugfixes
• Performance improvements
• Updated libraries for newer plugin support
• Implemented TimingsV2
• Java 8–21 supported (using an integrated version of lwjgl3ify)
• Backported Bukkit APIs (With some APIs requiring the companion mod NecroTempus)
• You can see more changes in the releases changelog.

Build Requirements

• Java 8 JDK
• JAVA_HOME defined on your OS
