New to owning a server? Or just don't want to deal with the hassle of setting up the basics?

Multi-Prefix Support:
This is useful if you want to show a player's staff rank and donor rank at the same time (or similar).
Note: If you prefer viewing only a single prefix per player then go into the LuckPerms config and set this section to this instead.
Check block data!Roll back changes to blocks!
Give players ranks with LuckPerms!
Easily vanish and send fake leave messages to watch potential hackers!
Clear chat!
Edit large amounts of land with WorldEdit!
Protect land with WorldGuard!
Control whether players can spam/swear!
Prevent lag (the right way)!
Custom /Help menu! (as of version 3.0+)
Create your own commands and aliases! (as of version 3.0+)
Supports Paper and Spigot Jars!
Animated Tab Menu:
In-Game Prefix and Health Support: (TAB Plugin, configurable)
And more (Info below)!
This setup offers support for Spigot and Paper. By default it comes with a Paper jar.
Paper is a fork of Spigot that supports all of Spigot's plugins and offers additional performance improvements.
All well developed spigot plugins will support Paper. If you come across a plugin that doesn't support Paper, chances are they're not following the recommended programming practices and you should be hesitant to use their plugin, from what I'm told by multiple developers.

Please Note: ChatControlPro is now a free plugin via his Github page. Download it there if you'd like to use it with this setup. This is not a requirement and entirely optional.
ChatControlPro is a plugin that prevents:

ChatControlPro is a plugin that prevents:
- Advertising of IPs / links
- Filter or block excessive spam / caps
- Filter or block swear words
This basic server setup has my custom setup for:
- blocking swear words which is MUCH more effective than the default config. A few words are disabled (commented out) due to the excessive number of false positives that can occur with them or because most servers may not want that word blocked.
- Allows blocking/filtering swearing acronyms (commented out/disabled by default).
- limiting excessive caps and spam.
- Blocked "Bad" Words:
fuck, porn, horny, fag, faggot, hentai, slut, boob, pussy, vagina, penis, bastard, cunt, nigga, nigger, jerk, shit, rape, rapist, dick, cock, whore, bitch, asshole, titt, tits, intercourse, sperm, testicle, retard, anus, dafuq, fuq, tehfuq, binch (bitch bypass), prick, douche, prostitute, up your butt, up yo butt, fk, ass, asses, bypasses for dick & penis, swastika filter
- Not Blocked "Bad" Words
That can be uncommented to enable blocking:
deadass, aroused, idiot, anal, piss, sex, gay, lesbian, homo, homosexual, cum, pedo, damn

CoreProtect is a plugin that allows:
It's great for fixing stuff griefers have done and catching x-rayers, even after the act (if used properly).
Note: While not required, it is recommended to input MySQL database information into CoreProtect's config. CoreProtect is known to take up a LOT of space over time ( I.e. 40 GB )
If you're completely new to CoreProtect then you can read my guide here:

- Checking block data (/co i)
- Looking up block data (/co lookup <params>)
- Rolling back block data (/co rollback <params>)

EssentialsX is a plugin that allows:
You can view an updated list of EssentialsX's commands, permissions, and info here.
This basic server setup comes with EssentialsX, EssentialsXSpawn, and EssentialsXChat.
- Countless features. It is an essential plugin for most server types such as Factions, Survival, Anarchy, Creative, Towny, etc.
- Allows teleporting, using /back on death, creating server market signs, setting warps, teleporting to certain coordinates, etc. One of the most popular and useful plugins ever developed.

MyCommand allows creating your own commands and aliases. With a creative mind, the possibilities and features are nearly endless.
What We Use MyCommand For:
What We Use MyCommand For:
- A custom and interactive (clickable) help menu. There are two categories: Commands and Important Links. You may completely configure it to your liking.
To edit this go into Plugins -> MyCommand -> Commands
To edit this go into Plugins -> MyCommand -> Commands
- /website will show your website link in chat.
- /discord will show your discord invite link in chat.
- /plugins reload will reload plugins using their individual reload commands. By default it reloads: Essentials, WorldGuard, WorldEdit, CoreProtect, MyCommand, and ChatControlPro. Never use /reload because it can break plugins and cause tons of problems.
- /bc is an alias for /broadcast
- /commands is an alias for /help commands
- /mycmd reload & /mycommand reload are aliases for /mycmd-reload all
- /pr, and two others are aliases for /plugins reload
SuperVanish supports:
- A more advanced Vanish command than EssentialsX. Did you know vanished players using EssentialsX can be seen by hackers or easily detected by various things such as opening chest sounds? SuperVanish puts a stop to that. Very useful for catching hackers/x-rayers.
- Fake login/logout messages.
- If you leave the server while vanished it will not show a leave message or join message when you login again.
- If you leave the server while unvanished it will show a leave message and will show a join message when you login again.
TAB plugin supports:
-Creating a fancy tab:
- Custom In-Game Prefix/Health/Stat Viewing:
- Check the plugin page for a full list of features with pictures!

WorldEdit allows easily modifying large amounts of terrain, making huge and detailed structures very quickly, and more!
WorldGuard allows protecting land and setting flags such as whether to allow PvP, TNT explosions, have welcome messages when entering the land, etc. Very useful for claiming spawn, PvP arenas, etc.
ProtocolLib is required for some other plugins to work.
Vault is required to make economy plugins work together.
eZAuctions is a chat-based live auctions plugin. Useful for Survival type servers and encourages the famed "bid wars".
- Prevents players from being able to use aliases of "/plugins" to view your plugins.
- Prevents players from being able to login using Forge and other non-Vanilla Minecraft clients. This, of course, configurable.
- Some ghost clients (hacked clients) have been known to be injected into Forge. This is one reason one may want to block users from joining the server with Forge.
- Chunkmaster which aims to greatly reduce lag by allowing you to pregenerate your worlds so there is no chunk generation lag when players travel!
- Simple Anti-Mob Lag (replaced by FarmControl in v6.0.0)

Did you know ClearLagg and similar plugins can cause lag?
Try these Anti-Lag features! Three files were edited slightly to reduce server lag while not largely impacting the server's settings.

Notes:
If you're still lagging you could reduce the view distance in the server.properties file to a lower number.

Files edited:
- server.properties
- spigot.yml
- bukkit.yml
- Paper.yml (in MC 1.19 this has been moved to multiple files in the "config" folder. Read this announcement for more information).
Notes:
If you're still lagging you could reduce the view distance in the server.properties file to a lower number.
The plugin(s) listed here are not added by default because they can cause some unexpected behavior but are recommended.

- Self explanatory.
- Strongly recommended. But can have some unintended behavior such as pistons disappearing when performing actions common for exploits and more.
