| Spec score · Minecraft Server Proxy Software | 7.6 (#9) | 7.6 (#10) |
| Configuration | The server and proxy create default server.toml and proxy.toml files that can configure settings such as world generation, plugins, and proxy online mode. | One configuration file can define multiple domains, and proxy configurations can optionally be fetched from Redis. |
| Deployment | To connect, both the server and proxy must run; the proxy listens on port 25565 and connects to the server on port 8483. | The README documents Linux kernel 5.8 or later for its recommended mitigation setup and shows running Infrared as a systemd service. |
| License | The GitHub repository lists an MIT license. | The repository lists the Apache License 2.0, whose terms grant no-charge copyright and patent licenses subject to its conditions. |
| Purpose | Bamboo is described as a safe, fast Minecraft server optimized for minigames. | Infrared describes itself as a Minecraft reverse proxy with Layer 7 protection, written in Go. |
