Hey everyone!
I'm setting up a small SMP server and using Modrinth as my host. I've seen a lot of debate between Paper and Fabric, and I'm not sure which one would be the best fit for my server.
Here’s what I’m aiming for:
- A basic vanilla-like experience (no economy, just pure survival).
- A spawn area with an enchantment setup, nothing too fancy.
- A rank system with Member, VIP, Mod, and Admin.
- Basic commands per rank, like TPA for Members, Sethome for VIPs, etc.
- Starting with around 10 players, but I’d like to scale up to 100 max in the future.
- Possibly some large automatic farms later on.
Given these goals, which would be the better choice: Paper or Fabric? What are the key things I should consider when deciding? Also, do you have any plugin/mod recommendations for setting up these features?
Thanks in advance for your advice!

You would probably be better off using paper for a public server. Although if it’s a private server, you can use fabric if you are willing to make compromises (like unpatched exploits)
I use fabric myself for a private server and have been liking it since.
paper for everything on the list
[luckperms](https://luckperms.net) for the ranks
only thing is i hear redstone works slightly differently in paper for people who do very technical redstone
if youre willing to turn off the “fixes” in regards to redstone that paper provides yourself then it should be ok
essentialsx provides basic tp and warp/home funtionality.
worldguard is the standard for region definition but for your purposes a simpler plugin like essentialsx-Spawn might be better

what do u mean by “enchantment setup”?
remember to read the documentation for each plugin thoroughly so features are activated correctly and permissions are distributed correctly
the luckperms wiki is great to start on bc it goes over the basics of permissions
