1. mcMMO

And finally, number 1: mcMMO.
mcMMO is the best plugin for any survival server to spice up player activity. It encourages players to level up skills just like an RPG. Skills include farming, mining, acrobatics, and more! mcMMO is amazing for Survival and RPG based servers, but it works on any other gamemode too! mcMMO is in heavily active development and the developer is open to suggestions!

Some useful commands:

/mcrank – Show your mcMMO rank
/(skill) – Check your specified skill experience
/mcremove – Remove a player from the database
/mcpurge – Remove all users and data from the database
/mcrefresh – Reset a skill level up Cooldowns for one or all players

mcMMO doesn’t have many commands needed, as most configuration is done in the config files!

Gathering Skills
