How to Setup a Minecraft Server on Ubuntu: A Step-by-Step Guide
We will be downloading the Minecraft server files into this directory. To preface, there are numerous variations of server JARs that can be used (e.g. Spigot, Paper, Purpur each touting their own benefits). For this tutorial, we will be working with Paper, a fork of Spigot that is optimized for performance.

Admins. What's your go to server software/plugins?
I Mostly Like Linux as a OS For a Server and PurpurMC (https://purpurmc.org) As a Server Software and i Mostly Use EssentialsX and WorldEdit and More Server Management Stuff.

Custom Minecraft server extended to teach Math to middle school students in Brazil
If you prefer to go the old-school Bukkit/Spigot/Paper/Purpur route (which provides the greatest level of compatibility with pre-existing server plugins), I recommend the latter of the four. Each of these projects is a fork, built on each other in that same order. Each fork offers additional customisation, API, and performance enhancements over its predecessor.
-
Best for plugins on the most recent version available?
I’d recommend Paper (which is a fork of spigot) or Purpur which is a fork of paper and pufferfish

Having Trouble with Sand Duper 1.19.4 Paper Server
If you're looking to re-add gravity duping I would recommend not using a plugin but switching your server software to PurpurMC. It is a fork/version of PaperMC that re-adds gravity duping as a config option as well as the ability to toggle back on things like tnt duping and several other features that the PaperMC devs arbitrarily decided were bugs (even though Mojang has explicitly not removed them).

Paper redstone fixing
Small addendum:\ If you want to keep using a paper derivative (as a drop-in replacement), you can use purpurMC instead. It provides a config option to enable gravity block duping by disabling sand.fix-duping. (At least for sand)
