In this Blogpost you will learn our Top 5 Plugins To Use On Your Survival Minecraft Server to get the most fun out of it for you and your Friends! We will make sure to recommend you only free plugins, so you get the most fun and dont even have to spent a single dollar with it!
Ready? Lets get started…
5. Veinminer – We’ve no time for slow mining.
Every now and then, we come across a big vein of ores, and digging that out takes a lot of time—especially if you’re in a hurry. This can get very boring very fast. Veinminer is the solution for that! It will allow you to mine a vein of ores at the same time.

You can download it over at spigotmc.org HERE
4. AdvancedBanX – Let’s ban ’em all
Got pesky cheaters or some annoying griefers? AdvancedBanX has your back. This plugin gives you a full suite of moderation tools to easily manage your Minecraft Survival Server. No matter if you need to ban players, mute players or just kick them. AdvancedBanX has all the Commands you need. You dont want to ban someone forever? Just tempban them for one hour.
It’s fully customizable to suit your preferences, allowing you to tailor it to your server’s specific needs. You could modify the Kick-Message, the Prefix and many more! Make sure to have a look at AdvancedBanX
3. GriefPrevention – Ew griefers.
One fear that almost all Serverowners share are griefers. And yes griefing can be fun to an extend but also be very annoying or sad. Thats why you should install GriefPrevention to give your players the capability to protect themselfs.
Griefprevention can help you with multiple things:
- Claim lands
Let your users define areas only they or their friends can build on. If a griefer tries to break stuff or steal their loot, they wont be able to do much damage. - Prevent Spam
Sometimes griefers try to join your server and flood it with messages like “SUB TO (CHANNEL) on YT!!” Griefprevention willl like the name suspects.. prevent that.
this is just the base, they have SO MUCH to explore definitly worth it to explore! HERE

2. Chunky – Better before than after
Releasing your Server and it lags? One of the most common reasons are that you haven’t pregenerated your chunks. All the players running in different directions loading hundreds of chunks at the same time and your server cant follow up and may crash.
Chunky is the solution to help you prevent those issues. Chunky will pregenerate all the Chunks in a specified radius so when the Players try to reach them they are already generated and ready.
Did you know? Whenever we host an SMP for partnered Streamers we use Chunky for the exact named reasons.
You should totaly check it out if you want more than 5 Players playing at the same time! HERE
1. CoreProtect – 1:0 for the griefers… they think.
Ugh now the griefers successfully managed to grief you. At least they think that. Imagine you would have simple solution to restore every damage. This is where CoreProtect comes into place. A smart Toolset for recovering damage. (PS: You still should make backups of your Server like explained in this Tutorial: https://boxsrv.net/blog/how-to-backup-your-box/)
We recommend pairing CoreProtect with FastAsyncWorldEdit for best results because then you can modify a ton of blocks at the same time.
That’s it! You’re now all set to build your Survival Empire. Feel free to show off your SMP on our Discord when you’re ready!
