Foundation is the Java 17-bytecode server-essentials layer for Paper, Spigot, and Folia from Minecraft 1.20.1 through 26.x. Its 17 independently controlled modules cover everyday player and staff utilities while leaving portals, world lifecycle, progression, display polish, and performance management to the Volmit plugins that own those systems.
