Bukkit is a different type of server! If you are using the hosting above, (AKA Avente)

Go onto your server control center, and switch the JAR to the latest bukkit version, and save. Then'

Intreduces somthing called PLUGINS! You usually download them from the bukkit website, or bukkit DEV.

A way to tell if a plugin is safe or not, is to look in the comments. A bukkit admin or bukkit DEV admin

should post a comment saying 'Approved'. The instructions should be included with the page, showing the plugin.

Advance to step 4.
