minecraft server authors are on another level. who in their right mind would call their niche piece of software "Paper".
bukkit is spelled funny like the meme
spigot.. well that's a real word but not a common one
paper? come on

amazing how many config files one single server can generate
paper is a fork of spigot, which is a reimplementation (? fork?) of bukkit (? craftbukkit?), which itself is a patch over the official minecraft server
each one of these layers has its own config file with its own set of settings and features that it controls. none of these developers had the idea to just reuse the previous layer's config file, or maybe consolidate it all into one file
annoyed at minecraft server software
none of these config files are shipped with the server, you have to run it once, watch it complain at you that its config is missing and create all the files, then stop it before someone logs into it and starts setting things on fire
annoyed at minecraft server software plugins
it feels like every popular piece of software in this community is "a continuation of such and such discontinued piece of software" and the documentation assumes familiarity with the old version

anyway i am battling with this plugin called "essentialsX" which is of course a continuation of "essentials", and which adds a lot of things that are definitely not essential. i just want nicknames but it is giving me item kits and a mail system (???) and a "beezooka" (??????)
also it overwrites a bunch of native commands with its own slightly different implementations 😩 native /give gives one by default, but essentialsx /give gives 64 by default
