# ❓ What Is Mohist ❓

Developed by the [Mohist Team](https://github.com/Mohist-Community) team, the most recent `Mohist` server type is a Minecraft Forge Server Software that Implements Paper/Spigot/Bukkit API.

So you will be able to use mods and Bukkit/ Spigot plugins at the same time on 1.12.2.

⚠ **But be careful!** ⚠

* Mohist version is currently running on **1.12.2**!  
* Before starting your server, please, double-check if you've installed all Mods and Plugins correctly as those **must** be able to run on **1.12.2**!

|| NOTE: Mohist is still under development and there may be a compatibility issue between the mods and plugins you add.
