Top 25 Minecraft Server Plugins with Listed Features
Top 25 Minecraft Plugins For Your Minecraft Server
Here you can find the best 25 plugins you can use on a server to improve gameplay, give more administrator tools, protect plots, include holograms and much more!
Servers are always fun on Minecraft as everyone likes to customise their own, so its always a slightly different experience. If you have your own server then here are a list of plugins that others use that could really benefit your server.
These include a wide array of different features, so these can be used together or simply find one from the list that you didn’t know about and try it out on your server! So with that lets get straight into it with one of the best administrator plugins out there to this day.
Do you have an awesome Minecraft server, but need some players? Did you know that CurseForge now has a Minecraft server listing page to not only list your server but for others to find your server? Here you can easily upload your server information and display it with a live player count, what category of server you’re hosting and other information that makes your server stand out. Create custom images or gifs and make sure you can be found once you added any of the following plugins to make the experience even better!
EssentialsX is a collection of essential plugins for managing a Minecraft server. It gives admins a huge array of commands to use to manage a server and the players. It also includes a complete economy, shops, payment methods for players, tp, tpa, warps and much much more. Its the all in one admin plugin for your server. Its also allows you to give lots of custom commands to players with a permission plugin. View our guide here.
It also has many add-ons like chat, spawn, discord chat, warp gui and many more.
Its features include:
Teleportation commands and tools.
Warp creation and management.
Home creation and management.
Chat formatting and management.
Customisable configuration.
If you truly want to build an outstanding and creative network, you need to make your own plugins. The fastest and easiest way to learn Minecraft plugins is following a proven process from professional instructions.
Check out Project Orion, the world’s biggest and most proven training that requires no previous coding skills. It will show you how to make minigames, custom entities, core plugin, anti-cheats, GUI and more.
WorldEdit is a powerful plugin for editing and manipulating the terrain in Minecraft. Think of it like a “paint” for Minecraft. Allowing you to use tools like brushes, deletion, copy and paste and many more features that allow you to change the terrain.
This editing feature is one of the most popular for changing your landscape, building huge structures or otherwise helping with building maps of any size.
WorldGuard is a plugin for protecting and managing specific regions in Minecraft. Used in conjunction with world edit you can protect regions from grief, mobs spawning, pop and much more.
Its features include:
Region creation and management.
Customizable permissions for regions.
Protection against griefing and other types of damage.
Vault is a plugin for managing permissions for economy on a Minecraft server. It is pretty much the go to for any server using an economy. Most economies need vaults api to work, so if you have a shop plugin, this relies on an economy plugin such as essentialsx. But the economy plugin relies on vault for the api and everything to work. A staple of many Minecraft servers.
Dynmap is a plugin for creating a live map of a Minecraft server. This is another personal favourite of mine as it creates a google maps style live view of your server including players and even allows people to talk through the online viewing page.
Its fairly easy to install if you follow a guide and gives you a brilliant representation of your map in real time. It also has a tone of integrations that show on the map such as grief prevention showing claims and many other popular plugins.
mcMMO is a plugin that adds RPG-like skills and abilities to Minecraft. With over 3 million downloads this is definitely one of the most popular RPG style plugins, this is now a premium plugin on spigot but as of this article been posted its free on their website.
Its features include:
Skill levelling and progress tracking.
Abilities for combat, mining, and other activities.
Citizens is a plugin for adding NPCs (non-player characters) to Minecraft. This will add so many features to your server and make it completely life like. From npc’s roaming around freely, ton pcs that have conversations. It also integrates with lots of other plugins including beauty quests to create npc’s with quests, rewards etc. Everything is customisable, even allowing you to use online skins for your npc’s easily.
Multiverse is a plugin for creating and managing multiple worlds on a Minecraft server. It’s the best alternative way to host multiple worlds with out using bungee cord and allows multiple worlds on one server. Players can easily go between different worlds, allowing you to create survival worlds, minigame worlds and more. It also has some great integration such as multiverse portals, that will let you make portals for players to travel from world to world. And other fun add-ons that integrate nicely.
LWC is a plugin for protecting and managing chests, doors, and other types of containers on a Minecraft server. It is one of the oldest block protection plugins and is still updated to the latest version.
CoreProtect is a plugin for tracking and rolling back changes made to a Minecraft server. Like grief protection, this one is essential for servers for its ability to stop griefing. In this case this plugin will role back the area effected and also notify you of what player causes it.
Votifier is a plugin for enabling players to vote for your server on server list websites. This can be for planet minecraft or other such websites. It allows your players to vote, starting from in game and give the rewards for doing so. Which will help build your server reputation online when people are searching for new servers to join.
Chest Shop is a plugin for creating player-run shops in Minecraft. You players on your server can create and manage their own shops, allowing buy-in and selling of items on a server. Use a permission plugin such as luck perms to give players access to commands and usages. Also add an economy plugin like essentials and vault or another plugin that integrates for economy. other great shop plugins include Villager Market.
Better RTP is a plugin that allows players to teleport to random locations in the world. By using a simple command they can travel a specified distance away eg between 100 and 50000 thousand blocks (set by you). This helps for spawns when players want to build somewhere new and undiscovered or away from others.
Ultimate Timber is a plugin for cutting down entire trees with a single swing of an axe. This saves time and many players enjoy using this plugin on servers. Especially for big projects this plugin is a must have.
Its features include:
Tree cutting with a single axe swing.
Customizable settings for tree height and diameter.
Holographic Displays is a plugin for creating floating text and images in Minecraft. You can create icons, text and help guide players around spawn and other areas. It also integrates with many plugins allowing them to utilise the displays for things like minigames or scoreboards.
LuckPerms is a plugin for managing permissions on a Minecraft server. This is one of the most well known and well used permissions plugins. It is super easy to use and add or remove permissions from players. Once in game you can type /lp editor and it takes you to an online web page where you can manage all permissions. I personally recommend this and use this for practically every server. It also works well and integrates with geyser for java and bedrock players. View our guide on setting permissions here.
AuctionHouse is a plugin for creating player-run auctions in a Minecraft server. Players can easily add items to the auction house, and have other players buy them. It includes and easy to use GUI menu if you do the /ah command and you can even charge taxes or amounts for listing an item.

This Modpack will not be found in CurseForge, FTB or other well known launchers. You will find this only on the Voids Wrath Launcher. A lesser known launcher that offers you many completely different Modpacks to normal.
Primarily based on older 1.7.1 versions they have some truly crazy and huge Modpacks you can play easily. With CrazyCraft 4 having hundreds of mods they tend to use 1.12.2 versions and below for stability with the game.
Luckily due to the amount of mods in the modpack you will certainly not be having the normal 1.7.1 experience when playing Minecraft, so lets get in to how to download the CrazyCraft 4 modpack to your PC.

If your not too tech savvy thats no problem. Simply send our team a ticket requesting the modpack on your server and we can get it installed for you. Meaning you can just follow the steps above and get playing with others on the CrazyCraft 4 Modpack.
How to Change Seed on a Minecraft Server
Lets look into how we can change the seed on a Minecraft Server. You will be able to load a new world with your chosen seed to play on.
What is a Minecraft Seed?
A Minecraft seed is an identifier to your world creation. For instance I start a world with a certain seed. For example 454545. Any one else starting a world with the same seed would also find the same world generation. Almost like been able to pin point the exact place on the endless Minecraft map of where you started your world off.
You can use this to share with others players so they can explore the world in creative before they travel on survival. All the worlds with matching seeds with have the same creation and characteristics. So you can effectively have another copy of your world.
Just be aware that you cant add a seed to an existing world. You will need to start with a new one to load up the right seed for the world.
If you want to keep a save of your last world, use the backup option now before we delete it.
Go to FTP File Access > Login > And look for your world file. It will have the same name as the world section of your dashboard. In this example my world is called “world”
Select the file with your world name, and the 2 files below it with the nether and the end. This is so the seeds match all the worlds when they are created. Now select delete to delete the old worlds before we insert the new seed to our server.
Now, from your multicraft dashboard. Go to Files > Config Files > Server Settings > and find the section called Level Seed.
From your main multicraft dashboard, Start your server. When you join on it will now be on a world with your chosen Minecraft seed.
Conclusion
Using a Minecraft Seed to start your world with is great for many reasons. It allows you to share the world you are playing in. If you find villages or monuments you can simply share the co ordinates and anyone using the same Minecraft seed can find them in the same location.
It also means you can start a world in a specific seed of your choice. Some come with spawn in areas in mushroom biomes, with 4 or 5 biomes surrounding them and many other variations so its worth checking them out first before you choose one to start your world off with.
Everything you need to know about the new Minecraft Update 1.17 caves and cliffs. After the latest Minecraft announcement we have some great news for all you Minecrafters out there.
Minecraft Update 1.17 Caves and Cliffs
With the update date imminent they have released a new announcement to clear up a few questions many of us have had. Through this article we will be covering the difference between versions. Update dates and what the plans are for after the updates part 1 and 2.
More we will be finding out a bit more about caves, cliff’s and world generation and how it will work with our existing worlds. This subject has been talked about a lot by the Minecraft community. There has always been a worry about how new chunks will load, if any of our worlds wont work or get corrupted and how it will all blend together.
You will be happy to hear that all this and more has been answered.
Minecraft have announced the date of part 1 and thats the 8th of June 2021! with only a few days to go the anticipation is growing with all Minecraft Fans. Although the update has been split into 2 part, everyone has understood that we want quality over speed of the update coming out.
Part 2 we have been told is at the end of the year or “the winter update” So although we don’t have a specific date we at least know that by the end of the year we will have both parts of this huge 1.17 Minecraft Update.
2. Why Aren’t All The Features Being Released at Once?
One of the reasons is to focus on certain features of the game. As releasing one part and then a second means they get to focus on a smaller amount of features for each update making sure they test every to make sure it is working and doesn’t have any bugs.
There is nothing worse than a game or update coming out only to find out it is riddled with bugs and either make it unplayable or just not fun to play.
By splitting it up they have been really able to focus on features, for part one we will be expecting lots of new blocks and mobs along with other features they haven’t discussed. As even Minecraft likes to leave a few surprises for us to find out ourselves whilst playing.
The second reason is so they can gather as much player feedback as possible to make sure everything is running well and most of all is enjoyable to play. Minecraft has a very specific game play fashion and its important to keep the same feel through out all the updates.
3. How Will The Version Numbers Work In Part 1 and 2 of the Minecraft 1.17 Update?
They were very clear in letting us know that they will both be major version numbers. So Part 1 will be 1.17 and part 2 will be 1.18.
The reason for this is due to both the parts being such major updates that they feel they both deserve a whole number update rather than a decimal point.
We hope this will be more successful than last year when we had a series of small updates that left many players either loosing worlds or unable to log into Minecraft it self. Resulting in many people giving up on the game all together! How ever this new update it ready to bring every body back to the number 1 selling game in the world!
4. How Will Biomes Work In Part 2 Will They Be 3D?
So to explain what we mean by 3D biomes. We mean an area where you might have one biome on the top on the world and have a different biome under it. For instance you might have a dessert over ground level. How ever underneath you will have a lush caves biome.
Admittedly they said this part is still in development for part two but they give us good reference to it looking nice as they have seen it already. Again we want to remind everyone that the Minecraft update 1.17 and 1.18 will be such a big update with so many major things changed that we need to allow a creator time to perfect the product. Bit updates like this need a lot of testing from both Minecraft employees but also the beta testers.
5. How Will Mountain Generation Work In Part 2?
Thankfully they have made a big point about how it will be an extension of the current terrane generation meaning that although there ill be big changes they will be mixing it together so that players wont even notice the how they have blended together.
Minecraft 1.17 update will be adding a 2 types of mountains to the game.
The first type of mountain generation they have told us about is Hilly. Compared to Mt Fuji or Kilimanjaro this mountain generation will have a a large style mountain with a very hilly top of the mountain.
The second type of mountain will be Steep. Compared to mountains such as Patagonia or Matterhorn. These mountains have much steeper sides and have a different feel to the hilly mountains from the first Minecraft .1.17 mountain generation.
There has been a large emphasis on re creating the adventurous feeling of mountaineering. With the addition of powdered snow and winding trails you can follow to the top or use to explore the mountain, this is set to be a huge bonus for all the survivalists out there.
6. Is Minecraft Becoming Less Simple With These Updates?
With all these updates coming out with more life like world generation and mountain generation. Items that you can interact with further and other things coming out in the 1.17 update. They have answered the question of “is Minecraft Becoming Less Simple” like so:
They want to keep the important aspects of Minecraft such as simple integration with blocks and an easy playing style. So rather than changing this they want to enhance the experience so that anyone can play and interact with the normal Minecraft world. Once you have learned the simple factors it then leads to more complex gameplay if you choose to take it further. This means you wont be getting bored of your game as there is always something else to discover.
In essence they state it is still looks like the Minecraft we know and love but with exiting new features.
7. What Are The Goals For World Generation?
Although this is for part 2 of the update and we are told it is still a work in progress. We are re assured that they have in fact had a look at the world generation for the update and tell us it looks really good. Always a worry after updates is the way the new chunks will load, especially in this case there the whole world will have different height limits.
Agnes and Alex are very clear in stating that it is very important that they are able to combine both world generation in well from the old chunks to the new ones.
8. How Will The Borders of Worlds Work?
Thankfully they start by explaining that it is important we are able to play the same worlds for many years. This comes as great news to sceptics of world generation for the new Minecraft 1.17 update. Furthermore wanting to be respectful to all our existing worlds.
The word they use is blending in terms of how the generation will work after the update. Rather than a sharp change in the world they will blend the two terranes using chunks you have seen and not explored. The way it will work is that chunks that you have visited will stay un changed. Chunks you haven’t visited but have seen will be the start of the blending process prior to the new chunks and then the new chunks will be updated to support the new biomes, mountains etc.
Visited Chunks – Wont Update
Seen But Not Visited Chunks – Will be Blended
New Unseen Chunks – Will be Updated
9. Will Branch Mining Still Be Do Able?
This has explicit from the get go of the update, its clear that Minecraft do listen to their player base and this is a main mining method for many players. Loosing this feature would put many off as they cant use their preferred method of mining.
All this is, is adding more possibilities to what your already able to do in the Minecraft worlds.
10. Will The Split Between Caves and Cliffs Effect Future Updates?
Its is important that Part 1 and Part 2 are of good quality. Rather than taking on one huge project they have split it up to make sure that each element will be the best.
Some exiting news is that they are already planning on the New Minecraft Update after 1.18! Very exiting news and seems like the good news just keeps coming. They haven’t let us know whether it will be a large update. Potentially updating to 1.19. And if you want to check out the announcement of this New Minecraft Update, it will be announced at Minecraft Live 2021. But they wont tell us more than this.
11. Will Part 1 Be Updated On Both Platforms at Once?
The simple answer is yes, both Bedrock users and Java users will be receiving the Minecraft 1.17 Update on the same day. The date the update is coming out is the 8th of June 2021. And we all cant wait to get started!
