| Spec score · Minecraft Server Proxy Software | 7.6 (#9) | 8.3 (#1) |
| Deployment | To connect, both the server and proxy must run; the proxy listens on port 25565 and connects to the server on port 8483. | Gate can be installed as a prebuilt binary, with Go tooling, in Docker, or on Kubernetes. |
| Purpose | Bamboo is described as a safe, fast Minecraft server optimized for minigames. | Gate is a lightweight, cloud-native, open-source proxy for Minecraft servers. |
| Security | The project describes Bamboo as safe and secure but does not specify security controls or certifications in the README. | Gate documents AES CFB-8 encryption, rate limiting, quota management, and RSA-based online-mode authentication. |
| Support | The README directs users to the project's Discord for questions and welcomes contributions from Rust developers. | Gate directs users to an active Discord community described as providing 24/7 support. |
| Version support | The README says clients can join on Minecraft versions 1.8, 1.12, and 1.14 or later. | Gate supports Minecraft versions 1.7 through the latest version and supports Forge mods, BungeeCord compatibility, and Velocity forwarding. |
