CoreProtect is a plugin that is vital for larger survival servers, or SMPs, where there is a potential for griefing, stealing, or any other malicious player usage.

CoreProtect allows moderators and admins to find out which players have placed/removed/entered any block in the world. Also, to see if they have taken or placed anything in chests or shulker boxes, and so much more.

This amazing plugin also gives the option to rollback time in a specific area of the map if there was a massive amount of griefing done. It gives mods the power to do their job so much better and take action against negative players so everyone can have their best time.

Superchairs is a really simple but amazing plugin that allows players to sit on stairs and slabs like chairs.

Right-clicking any stair or slab in the game with an empty hand will allow the player to sit there. There's also a /sit command that allows players to sit wherever they want.

This makes tea parties and get-togethers on servers really wholesome, and any hosted weddings can have the attendees sitting in the pews. This one is recommended to anyone making a server, whether it be an SMP or something else.

There is currently a divide between Minecraft players about which form of PvP is better: 1.8 or 1.9+

This plugin is for everyone who likes to use 1.8 style PvP, but it's even better because it allows the player to keep their offhand open for a shield or anything else.

If players on the server are going to be fighting or duelling, this is a great plugin for fighting optimization.

Players can even kiss each other by shift right-clicking on their partner. Also, hearts appear when players do this action.

This plugin is absolutely adorable and a must for any server that is trying to be wholesome and add a little bit more to their community.
