Start with the gamemode core

Do not install every plugin listed here. Pick one plugin for each job, avoid overlapping cores, and confirm current compatibility on each plugin's official website.

WorldEdit vs FAWE

If using a build/editing tool for arena preparation, choose one compatible WorldEdit implementation. FastAsyncWorldEdit (FAWE) is a performance-oriented alternative; do not assume both should be installed side by side. Check arena-plugin requirements separately from map-editing tools.

Dependency check

Confirm each plugin’s server platform, required dependencies, and current support before installation. Choose alternatives rather than installing two plugins that implement the same core gameplay. Test a minimal stack on a backup/staging server first.

How to choose the stack

Choose the smallest set that creates the gameplay you actually want. Add protection, economy, UI and progression only when they solve a real requirement. Test the stack on a staging server before moving player data or worlds into production.
