Ok, I know bukkit was made before Spigot but what made Spigot Become spigot. What is the difference between BUkkit and CraftBukkt What happened to Bukkit? When did this happen? I have heard rumors of Mojang got sued? or Minercraft.
Bukkit was a plugin API Craftbukkit was it's implementation Spigot is Bukkit with optomizations Bukkit died when the downloads, and source of Bukkit, CB, and any forks were DMCA'd by one of the developers; Wesley Wolfe Sometime in 2014 Not an expert for this last question, google Bukkit DMCA
Bukkit was originally created as an open source project by the community. It was bought by Mojang Yes, afaik CB is craftbukkit, and any forks were DMCA'd by the aforementioned dev because they contained his code, can't explain specifically why, again, google it
