Hey I have been playing minecraft for 3 years now and I have joined hundreds of different servers so I thought ill give yall some advice on how to make a good server.

First some Guidelines

1st.Don't Trust everybody [meaning don't op everyone who gets on!!!]

2nd. Have a good spawn not to small but also not to big... make it easy for people to find what there looking for have signs showing them the way... Make spawn look kinda cool[don't download a spawn that a lot of people use..]

3rd. HaveActive Nice and Helpful staff make sure to keep the server spam hack and advertise free.

4th. Donations.. Don't be greedy make donor ranks fair price and don't try to push ppl to buy donor.

5th. Make Sure all the commands work!!!!

6th. Have Good Plugins.

7th. Don't do many Drop parties...[expect if u have an OP server]

8th. Have a kit so people have something to start out with..

9. Have a Good Host meaning 24/7 uptime.

10.Have Fair Donation ranks... [Meaning no sharp 20 swords or stuff like that it ruins the game..]

These are the top 10things I think a good server should have try it out:) and see if it works.
