Now, if the vanilla server gets too laggy, you will need to switch it out with either a spigot or paper server. I recommend running PaperMC, since that is a fork of spigot (which includes all of the features that spigot has), and it's also open source and gets updated quite often. PaperMC fixes bugs and exploits, and increases server performance so there is no lag at all. Now, to get a spigot server, there are 2 ways: build it via gitbash or get it from https://getbukkit.org/download/spigot. Both methods work. So, to build it, you will need to get the buildtools gui from here. Now, take a download of it, and run it. If windows prompts you saying that it is not safe, just allow it to run by clicking more info, and clicking run anyway. Now, that will pop open a gui, and hit update buildtools. That will make a buildtools folder, which is needed for later. Now hit run buildtools. That will start making the git needed, and when prompted, save it to where u need it. Then it will start downloading the git, and once it's done, just exit it. Now, go to that buildtools folder it made (most likely in the downloads folder) and make sure to go to the git bash and open that up. Now, we want to change it to a diff directory by doing the cd cmd. For example, if the buildtools folder is in my d drive, it would be /d/buildtools . You need to do it step by step. So type in cd /[insert drive letter here]. hit enter, and type in cd /[insert drive letter here]/[insert buildtools folder name here] . then click enter. Now, copy and paste in this cmd:
