| Spec score · Minecraft Server Proxy Software | 8.3 (#1) | 7.6 (#10) |
| API | Gate provides an HTTP API using Protocol Buffers, gRPC, and ConnectRPC, with official SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Kotlin, and Java. | An optional JSON HTTP API provides routes to list, retrieve, add, and delete proxy configurations. |
| Deployment | Gate can be installed as a prebuilt binary, with Go tooling, in Docker, or on Kubernetes. | The README documents Linux kernel 5.8 or later for its recommended mitigation setup and shows running Infrared as a systemd service. |
| Integrations | Gate's managed Bedrock mode uses Minekube's GeyserLite runtime and includes Floodgate protocol support. | The README names Redis, Prometheus, MaxMind MMDB GeoIP databases, the Mojang API, and HAProxy Proxy Protocol among supported integrations or components. |
| Purpose | Gate is a lightweight, cloud-native, open-source proxy for Minecraft servers. | Infrared describes itself as a Minecraft reverse proxy with Layer 7 protection, written in Go. |
