I've helped set up dozens of DonutSMP-style servers, and the same mistakes come up every time.

Here are the top 3 plugin issues I see:

1. Plugin load order conflicts

People install 10+ plugins and wonder why half of them throw errors on startup. The fix is almost always dependency ordering in your server config — most DonutSMP-style plugins need specific load priorities.

2. Wrong config file formats

YAML is unforgiving. One wrong indent and your entire custom economy plugin breaks silently. Always validate your configs before restarting.

3. Version mismatches

Running a 1.20 plugin on a 1.21 server? That's a crash waiting to happen. Always check API compatibility.

I fix these kinds of issues every day. If you're running an SMP and need hands-on help configuring DonutSMP-type plugins, I'm offering 1-on-1 support for $2/month.

Ask me anything.
