Small Server Help

Hey guys,
It's HDfunctions and what I would like to know is what plugins would you recommend for a server of 5 (ish) players?

 

Are these players people you know and are not worried over greifing, or is there a potential for people you dont know to play as well? I run a smaller public server that only averages at maximum 8 online players at a given time(though 20 is the actual limit). Ive found in my use probably the most helpful ones are(in order):

Essentials(just the standard .zip with the 5 main jar files in it)
CoreProtect
Dynmap
PTweaks
UberForest

I dont run any permissions plugins or other things to that effect either. Im sure other people have other plugins and suggestions that they prefer as well.

 

It's a mix of both, there are 2, they are my friend's cousin's friends. And why UberForest?

 

I have a few players and occasionally newly joined players that like to log some fairly large areas when they build wooden houses, so I just tossed that on there to quickly repopulate the wooded areas. It seems to work pretty well.

 

Thanks GearheadRed for your suggestions. Is there anymore plugin suggestions for a small server of 5 (ish) players? The plugins I currently have are:


-BKCommonLib
-Essentials (Core, Chat, Spawn, GroupBridge, GroupManager)
-Lockette
-MinecraftRKitPlugin (for Remote Toolkit)
-Multiverse-Core
-Multiverse-Portals
-Nolagg
-NoSpawnchunks
-Vault
-WorldEdit
-WorldGuard
Any plugins I should add, replace or remove?

I just learned of a plugin called GriefPrevention, you might check that out. Im still poking at the configuration on it with my server but its pretty nifty.

Edit: plugin search use Grief Prevention as the search, all one word only returns the dynmap plugin for it.

 

So Grief Prevention would be able to replace WorldGuard and Lockette on my server?

 

Well they all handle things a bit differently, you would have to read over what the capabilities of Grief Prevention and WorldGuard/Lockette are and decide if one does what you want more effectively than the other.

Personally I have found most people do not understand the whole protecting their areas thing, so Grief Prevention seems like a better option since it will auto protect an area around the first chest a player places.

 

I like the following for my server that is basically just friends and family 5 tp 7 people I trust but have kid factor as well

Essentials: well because it is essentails
Lockette; Too simple to use and perfect for "kids"
My Worlds: for me is the best Multi-world plugin
BkCommonLib: required for My Worlds
Group Manager: Very configurable for multi-worlds and RPG type stuff, if you want that
Vault: some plugins require it
World Edit: well because it is World Edit
Block Painter: Excellent little plugin

for fun
Tardis: really cool plugin and lots of fun
Lift: is nice too
MobRider: brings many laughs
Alpha Chest: an added nice little plugin but I don't allow it in creative as things stay there when traveling between worlds


for kid control
No Spawn Egg: so we dont have 1000 villagers running around in the creative world
Grief Prevention: to protect certain areas from kids that are well just kids
Restock It: got tired of kids saying they are starving so I have a few chests here and there that have apples in them

 

Maybe this might be good? http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/mobmanager/
