PaperMC API v3 downloads application name Velocity Waterfall filename examples
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The PaperMC download service currently utilizes the "Fill" API (often referred to as v3) [1][2][3]. This service provides metadata and download links for projects including Paper, Velocity, and Waterfall [1][4]. Application Names (Project Keys) When interacting with the PaperMC API, you must use the specific project key to identify the software [1][5]. The standard keys are: - paper: The PaperMC server implementation [5] - velocity: The Velocity proxy [4] - waterfall: The Waterfall proxy [5][4] Filename Examples The filenames for these projects typically follow a pattern that includes the project name, the Minecraft version (or proxy version), and the build number [1][6]. Examples include: - Paper: paper-1.21.10-48.jar [1] - Waterfall: waterfall-258.jar [5] API Usage Notes - API Endpoint: The current service is accessed via https://fill.papermc.io/ [1]. - User-Agent: When using the API, it is required to provide a custom User-Agent header to identify your application [6][7][3]. - Data Structure: The API returns JSON data containing project versions, builds, and specific download objects that include the filename, URL, and checksums [1]. Note: While there is a "Velocity API" (e.g., v3.5.0) used for plugin development [8], this is distinct from the "Downloads API" (Fill v3) used for fetching server/proxy JAR files [1][8].

Resolve the generated JAR after installation.
When Forge sets RequiresInstall to true, jar.Filename is the installer JAR. PostDownload runs that installer with --installServer and removes it. This line then leaves serverJar pointing to the removed installer path, so the final Java command cannot launch the generated server JAR. Keep direct jar.Filename resolution for non-installer downloads, and call FindServerJar after PostDownload for installer-based downloads. Handle lookup errors.

PaperMC Fill v3 API project endpoint versions response schema
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The PaperMC Fill v3 API is the current, official service for accessing project, version, and build information for PaperMC software (e.g., Paper, Folia, Velocity) [1][2]. It replaces the deprecated v2 API (api.papermc.io) [1][3]. ### API Access and Requirements * Base URL: https://fill.papermc.io/v3/ [4][5] * Documentation: Full REST API documentation is available via the Swagger UI at https://fill.papermc.io/swagger-ui/index.html [1][6]. * User-Agent Header: All requests must include a non-generic User-Agent header that identifies your software or company and provides a contact URL or email address [2][6]. Requests without a valid header may be rejected or rate-limited [2]. ### Project Endpoint The project endpoint is located at https://fill.papermc.io/v3/projects/{project} (e.g., https://fill.papermc.io/v3/projects/paper) [4][7]. Response Schema (Summary): The response typically includes project metadata and a mapping of version groups to their respective version strings [3]. * project: Object containing id and name [4]. * versions: An object where keys are version groups (e.g., "1.21") and values are arrays of specific version strings (e.g., ["1.21.1", "1.21.2"]) [4][3]. ### Key Changes in Fill v3 * Download URLs: Download URLs are now embedded directly in API responses and point to fill-data.papermc.io [1][2]. You should not manually construct these URLs [2][6]. * Download Keys: Some keys have changed [2][6]: * application is now server:default [2][6]. * mojang-mappings is now server:mojang [2][6]. * Metadata: New version-level metadata is available, including support status (SUPPORTED, DEPRECATED, UNSUPPORTED), support end dates, minimum Java versions, and recommended JVM flags [1]. ### GraphQL Support Fill v3 also provides an optional GraphQL API at https://fill.papermc.io/graphql for more advanced queries [8][2]. A built-in GraphQL playground is available at https://fill.papermc.io/graphiql [8][6].

Reject null for versions.
If Fill v3 returns "versions": null, json.Unmarshal succeeds and leaves versions nil. Project.UnmarshalJSON then reports success, and ListVersions returns an empty list instead of reporting the malformed response. Reject null before the slice and grouped-object decodes.

PaperMC Fill v3 downloads service build response checksums sha256 server:default
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In the PaperMC Fill v3 API, download information—including the SHA256 checksum—is provided directly within the JSON response for a specific build [1][2]. To retrieve this information, you query the Fill v3 API at fill.papermc.io [2]. For a specific build, the response structure includes a downloads object where the primary server artifact is keyed as server:default [1][3][2]. The structure of the response for the server:default download is as follows: { "name": "paper-1.21.10-48.jar", "url": "https://fill-data.papermc.io/v1/objects/...", "checksums": { "sha256": "bfca155b4a6b45644bfc1766f4e02a83c736e45fcc060e8788c71d6e7b3d56f6" }, "size": 54185955 } Key points for implementation: 1. API Domain: Use fill.papermc.io for all Fill v3 requests [2]. 2. Download Key: Use server:default to access the standard server JAR download details [1][2]. 3. Checksum: The SHA256 hash is located under the checksums object within the specific download entry [1][3][4]. 4. User-Agent Requirement: All requests to the Fill v3 API must include a non-generic User-Agent header that identifies your software and provides a contact method (e.g., URL or email) [2]. 5. URL Construction: Do not manually construct download URLs; use the URL provided directly in the API response, which points to fill-data.papermc.io [2].

Decode the nested SHA-256 checksum.
Fill v3 stores the checksum at downloads["server:default"].checksums.sha256, but BuildInfo declares sha256 directly under that entry. The Paper, Velocity, and Waterfall providers therefore pass an empty SHA256 to Downloader.Download. Since they also do not set SHA1, Downloader.Download skips checksum verification. Decode the nested checksums object and update all three provider reads.

PaperMC Fill v3 Velocity channel RECOMMENDED STABLE API
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In the context of PaperMC and Velocity, "Fill" is not a Velocity API channel or a messaging component [1][2]. Instead, Fill is the name of PaperMC's downloads service and API (fill.papermc.io/v3) used to host and distribute project builds, including Velocity [3][4]. The term "v3" refers to the third version of this downloads API [4]. Developers or server administrators interacting with Fill v3 are typically using it to programmatically fetch the latest stable or development builds of PaperMC software [3]. If you are looking for the Velocity Plugin Messaging API (which allows communication between the proxy, backend servers, and clients), this is documented under the official PaperMC Velocity developer documentation [1][2]. The recommended way to send plugin messages in modern Velocity versions is via the ChannelMessageSink interface, which supports sending data using ChannelIdentifiers [5]. Summary of key points: - Fill v3: The current version of PaperMC's downloads service/API, used for retrieving software builds [3][4]. - Velocity Plugin Messaging: Handled via the ChannelMessageSink interface and ChannelIdentifier classes [1][5]. - Official Documentation: Always refer to the official PaperMC Velocity documentation for API usage [6].

official Fill v3 API Velocity builds channel RECOMMENDED
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The PaperMC Fill v3 API is the current, official service for retrieving build information and artifacts for PaperMC projects, including Velocity [1][2]. It is hosted at fill.papermc.io [1][2]. When using the Fill v3 API to fetch Velocity builds, the recommended approach for selecting a build is to filter the available builds by their channel [3]. The API response for a project's builds includes a channel field for each build [1][4]. Common channels include STABLE, ALPHA, and others [3][4]. To implement this correctly: 1. Query the builds endpoint for the desired version (e.g., /v3/projects/velocity/versions/<version>/builds) [1][5]. 2. Filter the returned list of builds to select the one with the channel set to STABLE [3]. 3. If multiple builds exist within the STABLE channel, it is standard practice to select the one with the highest build ID (the most recent build) [3]. 4. If no STABLE build is available, some implementations fall back to the latest available build regardless of channel, though this should be handled according to your specific stability requirements [3]. Important implementation notes: - User-Agent Header: All requests to the Fill v3 API must include a valid, non-generic User-Agent header that identifies your software or company and provides a contact method (e.g., a URL or email) [1]. Requests without a valid header may be rejected or rate-limited [1]. - Download URLs: Do not manually construct download URLs. The API response provides the direct URL for the artifact (e.g., under downloads["server:default"].url) [6][1][2]. - Domain: Ensure you are using fill.papermc.io, as the older api.papermc.io domain has been deprecated and sunset [6][1][2].

Accept both release channels for Velocity.
Fill returns RECOMMENDED for Velocity 3.5.1 build 615, while newer Velocity releases return STABLE. Because GetLatestBuild accepts only STABLE, a default download for 3.5.1 can fail with no stable builds available, and ListModVersions marks build 615 as unstable.
Use one project-aware predicate in both paths. Preserve STABLE for all projects and also accept RECOMMENDED for Velocity.

In `@pkg/api/paper/client.go` around lines 145 - 148, Update the build-channel
filtering used by GetLatestBuild and ListModVersions to share one project-aware
predicate: accept STABLE for every project, and accept RECOMMENDED only when the
project is Velocity. Ensure Velocity build 615 is treated as stable while
preserving existing behavior for all other projects.

Updates the Paper, Velocity, and Waterfall providers for the current Paper API build response format, including build IDs and stable-channel detection.
Also fixes run selecting an older matching server JAR when multiple builds are present by using the exact JAR returned by the downloader.
Tested with Paper 26.2 build 123 on Java 25. Server successfully starts and reports Paper 26.2-123.
