- EssentialsX II EssentialsX is a must-have although EssentialsX is aimed at public servers its also great for servers for friends! It has performance enchancements and basically makes vanilla commands way better other than that it also adds its own custom commands
- AuthMe II This is the litteral number 1 plugin if your server is cracked, without this people could log on to any person's account
- BetterRTP II This plugin is helpful for Survival Servers the plugin adds a /wild command which if you execute it teleports you to a random location where you can gather materials or make a home
- HomePlus I Ever got lost and cant find your way home? Well this plugin is for you players can do /sethome to set their current location and /home to tp to that location
- SimpleTPA I This plugin lets user do a command called /tpa which send a teleport request to other players. To use it do /tpa [Player name] then you have to wait until they accept the teleport request
Thats all of my recommendation for standard SMP plugins, there are still more plugins i'd recommend but most of them are focused on 1 topic (For example: Economy)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Economy Plugins
These selection of plugins are only to be used if you want Economy on your SMP
- Vault II This plugin is usually required to even have economy
- Economy II This plugin is used as the "Money" provider you can do /bal to check- EssentialsX II EssentialsX is a must-have although EssentialsX is aimed at public servers its also great for servers for friends!

Moderation Plugins
If your just playing with friends you shouldnt really need this plugin but just in case you do want some sort of moderation then follow these suggestions
- Advanced Ban II This plugin is used to carry out punishments you are able to ban people, mute, warn and even IP ban
- LuckPerms II For moderation this plugin is a must if you would like to have "Staff" on your server it gives people certain permissions to do stuff
- NameTagEdit II its a must plugin if you have LuckPerms this plugin lets you to edit other player's name's like my usermame is PixelWarriores and with this plugin you can set that name to Owner II PixelWarriores
- StaffChatReloaded II Ever needed to discuss something private with other staff members well you can discuss that in a private "StaffChat"
- SuperVanish II If you think that somebody is doing something they arent suppose to you can pretend to leave the server and go invisible using the command /vanish
- OpenInv II Ever think somebody took something they arent suppose to? With this plugin you are able to do /openinv [Username] to check their username or even /openender [Username] to check their ender-chest.
- Staff+ II This plugin is used mainly for other staff commands such as /freeze and X-Ray Alerts
-Staff++ Discord Integration II The plugin staff+ discontinued their work so this plugin continues it and keeps it up to date
Thats mostly my recommendation's for moderation plugins, as said before i cannot list every plugin that i recommend since it would just be too long of a message.
