✨ Why This Edition?
Because traditional live servers can be slow or bloated.
This edition focuses on speed, simplicity, native integration, and multi-language support.
No config files. No clutter. Just fast results.
This Live Server is faster and less bloated than traditional live servers. (Five Server, Live Server and more...)
