Minecraft Server Plugins: Advantages

Why should you use plugins at all? Minecraft has been constantly evolving since its release, as has its large community of players. Plugins are often necessary for running certain game modes that have become established over the years. But even in classic Minecraft, a lot can be done by extending the server software.

For example, commands can be added to help you manage the server, and protection zones can be created where the landscape can’t be changed. The messaging system can also be completely reworked and expanded with color codes, for example.
