| Spec score · Minecraft Server Software | 8.1 (#7) | 7.2 (#19) |
| Compatibility | The project says Gale preserves plugin behavior and describes the software as a stable, carefully reviewed Paper alternative. | The project says most Sponge API plugins should work across several Minecraft versions without updates, though plugins may depend on a specific implementation or API version. |
| Intended users | The maker describes Gale for Minecraft server owners seeking higher performance while retaining Paper behavior and plugins. | The documentation describes server creation and operation as relevant to server owners, and plugin development as intended for developers with Java experience. |
| Security | The maker says regular upstream merges include security fixes; the opened pages do not state a compliance certification. | Ore requires plugin submissions to be PGP signed, queues uploads for review, and warns users about plugins that have not cleared review. |
| Support | The Gale community Discord is offered for support and for connecting with other users. | The project’s staff page says moderators and support team members help in the forums and IRC channels. |
