I started researching the best ways to use `salt to provision minecraft
servers <https://bobbylikeslinux.net/post/2013/2013-salt-minecraft-fun/>`__. I wrote
a salt state formula for the vanilla minecraft server deployment. The
deployment worked out great so I decided to try my luck with plugins.
In order to use plugins and mods we need to use a customized server
package. I decided to try provisioning a craftbukkit server and quickly
noticed something was very wrong. Vanilla Craftbukkit (with no plugins)
produces very high load and CPU usage.
Here is a chart for proof. The spike is when I stopped the vanilla
minecraft server and started the craftbukkit minecraft server:
