Hi.
This is an overview some of the technical specifications of our server.
Both hardware/software, and a few configuration options that might be nice to know.
I will try to add more stuff to this list if needed, and hopefully keep it up to date if we change anything.
Feel free to ask about the server in this thread

Matrix - Anti-cheat plugin. Prevents most known cheats, but also provides false positive kicks of legit players, unfortinately.
WorldGuard - Provides many global options for the whole world, plus regions like spawn and the shopping district, where we can control who is able to enter, breaking blocks, and a ton of other things.
