Care to give a bit more of a rationale why? Are you running a large server network, etc. This is a very big feature request, so would be good to know your reasoning and rationale.

[MelonHell]

Folia is a very promising server software from the developers of Paper. Citizens is a plugin that, without exaggeration, is installed on almost every server and switching to Folia without Citizens is a big loss for Minecraft projects

As Paper's own team / Folia's developers will tell you: the majority of servers should not switch to Folia. Unless you currently have a 16+ core CPU and plural hundreds of concurrent players on the average day, you don't need nor want Folia.
In fact, running below that level (too few cores or too few players), it's expected that Folia will run worse than a normal Paper server, due to the complex thread handling being done.
Are you running a server that fits those very high requirements?

We personally expect 500-1000 online in one world and consider between Folia and Multipaper

In any case, I'm pretty sure that if a server-side software exists, then it should be used, and if it's used, then it should have core plugins like Citizens on it. I understand that adding support for Folia is not easy, but on the other hand, this is not Sponge or Minestom, this is software that uses the Bukkit API and this is not a noname project that will be abandoned. The PaperMC team is trustworthy and I am sure this software will be distributed in the future and ported Citizens on it is a justified investment of time and effort

That only work in the latest versions..

I believe that Folia is planned to only work on the more recent versions, as the Paper devs (reasonably so) don't like supporting legacy software.

Sorry, I explained it badly, what I mean is that if you enter with any other version of the server as a client, you will see an armorstand flying.

Hey it would be a great helps, if we can decouple the tick impact of NPCs across several tick loops it would allow us to scale Citizens far more easily, I realize it represents an entire project, a lot of organizations including mine would be ready to sponsor such an endeavour

I'm running a 200+ online players server with Folia. And I would love to be able to use this plugin.

Hi. We're hosting a +400 players smp. Folia is our only to-go...

I currently don't have the resources to dedicate 10s-100s of hours towards a rewrite to enable Folia support. PRs are accepted.
