Thinking of opening our server....

[CaptRaven81]

My friend and I are thinking of opening our current server to the public. But, I'm not sure what mods we should add/can add, to make a server more fun (and safe). And we don't want to have to restart our world file to do it.

I know we would like to add an economy of some sort. And the ability to claim property. Any advice on other mods to add the are compatible and won't ruin our already established world/server?

Oh, We're running Minecraft 1.5.2 with Big Dig Recommended 1.3.9

Can someone help please with some advice? My friend and I have kinda hit a brick wall here on what to get/what's safe to get for our server.

I don't remember who did it but do a search for top server mods for minecraft. There are several videos that rank and describe some great tools you'll want to have. I just keep my server between friends cause I don't want to deal with the masses :)

I did find a few. My issue now is, half of them don't seem to work. Got 'Jail', can't use /jailcreate. Got SignShop, can't connect chest to sign. Got FrameShop. Can't find/use recipe to make the shops. WorldEdit seems to be working alright. bpermissions is taking time to set up but seems to work, as does Bankcraft.

It just seems half the plugins I want to add either give me a hard time or fail completely.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I don't know where else to turn.

I'm not familiar with economy plugins in MC as I have always played on the default communistic servers, not capitalistic.

Nontheless these plugins look rather nice and he wrote in the comments what the require:
