Port The Minecraft Server Jar To C++

C++ is a way faster language than Java right? Minecraft Bedrock servers are a lot faster since they were made using it, so what's stopping people from porting the Minecraft Server Jar to C++?

    There are several reasons why this is a bad idea. The main reason is the huge community that is build on the modularity of Minecraft being a java application. Java is just way easier to work with when it comes to custom modifications. You can see this just by looking at communities like Forge or Spigot. Having the minecraft server ported to C++ would destroy thousands of modifications and probably millions of manhours that several communities put into the game. Also C++ is not "way faster" per se. The latest JVM is capable of matching the performance of C++ after a bit of runtime and some JIT compilation in some places.
