I have no idea what your code words are. *Explodes*

I thought there was only one MCMMO! Also, you should add MCEconomy and chest shops!

Edit: Oh, I see what you did there! MCMMO is fine by me! It does help with material gathering because of the special right-click abilities added!

Some packs sound good instead.

What plugins are installed currently?

Economy would be nice, go to shops buy and sell items even from your hand. Also nice easy commands like /home /spawn /back.

Industrialcraft

Runecraft is pretty nifty.

i AGREE...MCFurs should make minecraft like Runescape...combining my 2 favorite games together

Runecraft has nothing to do with runescape, good fellow. It's one of the oldest plugins for MC to date, and has a very unique system.

Instead of typing in a command, you build a 'rune', a magical pattern of specific blocks in specific places, which then does something when you activate it. From digging mineshafts to turning whole landscapes upside down, from airships to freezing certain places. Teleporters, special tools, capturing mobs in eggs and cursing other players, all without a single command.

It's an utter delight.

I find McMMO to detract away from the main experience of Minecraft.
Additionally, from my own experience, McMMO tends to have people log in to "grind" as opposed to actually progressing/building in game.
However, adding the plugin is up to how you wish people to use the server. McMMO does not add any social benefit to the game above the leaderboards. Also it makes people "attached" to the plugin and makes you anchored to maintaining the plugin on the server or maintaining the server as is. McMMO also makes the game a tab bit easier and if you're looking for a more challenging experience the plugin will not help you on that quest.

If you're running a survival server, I would make decisions on what behavior you wish players to take part in. As it is with Minecraft survival servers, there tends to be players who have reached endgame and others who do not. As a means to maintain a player base, there needs to be some drive to play actual Minecraft instead of grinding in hours. I would suggest having community events, or maybe even mix up how Minecraft is played by introducing a PvP aspect with a Factions/Clans plugin (Towny is another possibility, less competative). Possibly implement Mob Arenas and have players build the arenas in survival.

Given if you do have a PvP aspect, you be forced to remove the creative-survival building aspect.

Also if you do add a shop plugin, make sure it has a InventoryGUI and is a global market as opposed to an individual shop. Additionally if you add currency, make sure there are drains and pumps for the economy you can use. Pumps are server mechanics that add to the economy and drains are the reverse. Pumps and drains should not come from any ItemStack transacts unless between players. A good drain example would be paying for build-protection or paying for teleports. This will ensure demand for the currency.

Also if you're going to run any plugin, I would suggest runnng the MorePlayerModels2 Bukkit plugin to allow compatability for those who have the plugin:
Plugin: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugin.....-lie-anywhere/
Client Mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forum.....acter-creation

As for a modded server, I would suggest it to be parallel to a spigot server.

Agrarian Skies 2 is a great modpack, if you need something besides vanilla!

...I have not tested this one to speak of... Yet Omnihl seems to have interesting points, I guess it is based on what you aim for the server...

..I could mention most magic-based mods to add.. needs some effort before making the game easy.. and are a good theme.. (unless the server theme is hi-tech)
