Paper 1.18.2 is an optimized plugin server for Minecraft 1.18.2, the final Caves & Cliffs release. The 1.18 world is taller and much more complex, with huge caves and mountains, which puts more load on servers. Paper handles this better than vanilla thanks to faster chunk generation and loading, entity optimizations and configurable view distances. It runs all Bukkit and Spigot plugins for 1.18.2.
You don't need to set up Java 17 or compile anything. In the ScalaCube control panel choose Paper 1.18.2 and press install. Upload plugins via FTP, configure them in the file manager and restart.
