Unofficial Server (Minecraft) Plugins

Yo guys, as you know I'm running a dedicated Minecraft server... now, I recently changed the server to Bukkit and notice that it allows numerous plugins. So i figured, why don't we add some? So I decided on making this topic. If anyone has any suggestions for Bukkit plugins to add to the server fee free to post them on this topic and I'll consider it. To keep things orderly please post on the following format:

Name of the Plugin:
Url to download the Plugin:
What it does:
Why I should consider it:

Keep in mind that I doubt ill want to place any plugins that DRASTICALLY change the game but any suggestions will be considered and are ultimately my choice (altho clan pressure will most likely work).

List of Worlds:
Home
SkyWorld

Plugins Added:
Multiverse
PermissionBukkit
HeroicDeath
MobDisguise
Insomnia

Name of the Plugin: Skylands 1.3
Url to download the Plugin: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/35387-survskylands-13-custom-world-thats-entirely-abandoned/
What it does: Basically, adds more explorable areas by going to the sky, creating a whole new world (generates it, it's like when you go to the UnderWorld or The End, it loads/generates it on the 1st go), whilst keeping the one we have (the Earth place, y'kno'?).
Why I should consider it: Because it's awesome and it adds more places to explore, and somewhat pre-set dungeons in the map that are quite fun to explore and loot.

I SECOND THIS!!!

SkyLands has been added, getting it to run was a pain since i r a server nub.

To get there go to the second floor of the main house, there should be a sign that says "[mv] SkyWorld", right click on it to warp to SkyWorld. Once you warp youll find the another sign that says "[mv] Home", that will take you back to the regular world. Don't destroy those signs D:

YES!!!! AWESOME POSSUM :DDD

Wow!!! :3 can't wait to build a house there!!! X3

Lemme correct myself, thanks to me testing with Groovy I discovered that the above method didnt work for non-OPs. So, simply put, the netherportal now takes to the Skyworld and theres a portal near the spawn point in the SkyWorld that takes back to the Home World (regular netherportals can be built, these are just special and can only be connected by an OP).

Ill work on allowing everyone to make world-switching portals but right now it requires an OP to do.

awesome, good luck with it. And SkyLands aren't even half of fun as i thought they might be

well.. suggest more! Thats the idea of this topic! XD

New Maps or plugin suggestions are welcome.

Sorry for the double post but wanted to let you guys know that now anyone can create and validate World-Changing Portals. In order to do so follow these simple instructions:

1) Make a sign (yeah the normal signs): http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Sign

2) Make a nether portal (yeah the normal kind): http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Nether_Portal

3) Place the sign on the portal and write the following message:
-blank-
[mv]
worldname
-blank-

You don't actually write "-blank-" its just to indicate that the first and last line of a sign must be blank while the second must have "[mv]" and the third the name of the world (this is not case-sensitive, skyworld will work as will SKYWORLD).

4) You're done, the portal will take you to the desired world:

Note: If you want to go to the nether then just make a portal without the sign and it will work normally

Also, I can add more worlds so if you people want it then go ahead and suggest new maps. Also, I added a list of worlds to the first post.

& now let's just hope I remember this all ahaha

Okay a few updates:
- You can now set your spawn point to any bed (even when its morning and you can't sleep).
- Added Hostile Enviornment Worlds, these are survival worlds (unlike the rest) in which you must complete a monument to "win", inventory in these worlds are separate (can't take your uber gear there or loose it) but difficulty is set to Easy and you won't starve, see the list of worlds on the first post to learn their respective names in order to warp there. Of course this means I wont be spawning uber gear for people on these worlds like Choco did

What's planned?
I honestly want to just add a "cave like" world to complement the SkyWorld, thats about it really and I might add Hostile Environment 2 once its done but thats it I believe. I doubt ill be adding much more crazy stuff to the server. Hope you people enjoy it since its sucking up my RAM nicely xD

cant wait to play with u guys on new lands

Late update but...

- Removed the hostile worlds: they seemed to be causing lag issues, too bad my internet isnt uber enough.
- Removed multiInv since this was only used on the hostile worlds (separate inventories).
- PVP is now permanently set on the world.
- World difficulty has been set to Hard.

Initially the world was set to easy (when i started), it was shortly changed to normal and then I changed it to Hard a few weeks ago.
