Minecraft
Survival, SMP, skyblock, anarchy and modpack servers on Paper, Fabric and Folia.
Every game on our list whose server software you can read, fork and self-host.
These projects are why most of the communities on this site exist at all. Some keep a shut-down MMO alive, some are the standard way to host a modern game, and a few are the whole game. Each entry links to the upstream project and to the servers running it.
