Speaking of bukkit, bukkit based minecraft servers are still cool. There's a new one called Paper that's been working out well for my small group.

+1 for Paper, also works well with GeyserMC [0] so your Bedrock friends can join. BTW, the GeyserMC community is really great, top notch support via Discord with a fancy integrated bot and automated builds that you can just drop into you plugins folder.

I use this Docker image with Docker-compose: [1]

One thing to note is that paper breaks technical redstone builds. For redstone parity, Fabric [0] is what we use, along with Phosphor + Lithium + Carpet.

I set up a Paper server for my kids. The modding ability is pretty cool, and easy to get into. I made a mod for them which rings a bell and announces the server time on the hour. They're less likely to lose track of time now. WorldGuard is cool because you can define regions and only allow certain players or groups of players permission to use that space. I can also prevent mobs from spawning in "town". Neat stuff.

I know that I said that I set it up for my kids, but I really did it for me as well!
