Any minecraft experts here?

So I'm helping a guy set up a PVE minecraft server. It's gonna be spigot (i don't know what that really means other than modded bukkit which i also don't know what that is). Anyway, how do you be a proper staff member (like OP). We have pretty much essential plugins we're planning to download. But can somebody just explain to me everything I'd need to know? And about hacking people and whatnot? I'm sorta unexperienced haha!

Minecraft modded server saving problem?

I started a modded server and my friend joined we have created a shelter everything works fine. But when we disconnect and save-all our server and join our server again all our items are gone and we spawned on a different spot but our shelter was still there… Is there any way to fix this?

Why does my minecraft freeze whenever I join a certain server?

I play on xbox360. Okay so this server means a lot to me because I've worked so hard on it. However, recently there was an update that made it stop working, that server in particular. I got a notice about the update but I declined it at first and played on my server. However, I was spawning in unknown places and it looked as if I started over. So I decided maybe I just have to update it. I updated it and tried to go on my server again, but as soon as I tried to load it, it would freeze. Is there any way I can fix this? I really hope so…

What is a good only survival minecraft server?

What is a good only survival minecraft server?

Added (1). I used to be in Kingscraft, but they banned me for no reason. =( Kingscraft was just survival, you could tp, build, set home, and you would get money for killing mobs. You weren't able to kill each other. If you guys know any servers similar to kingscraft, please write it down in the answer box. Tysm

I can't get my Minecraft server to work?

I think I did everything write! Here is everything I did, in order:
Made a server folder titled Minecraft 1.8 Server
Download the craftbukkit 1.8 file
Moved craftbukkit 1.8 to the folder
make the start.bat folder with this code:
java -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit-1.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -o true
PAUSE
renamed the craftbukkit file from where it said -latest so It is not latest anymore
ran the start.bat
files came in
changed EULA to true
ran start.bat again
error comes up, says I have something running on the port (25565) already, so I change the port to 25515
run server again
everything came up fine
I try to join with localhost
it logs in for a while then says " internal exception io.netty.handler.timeout.readtimeout.exc… "
if I try to add it to my server list it says can't connect to server
I have windows 8 64bit PC plenty of RAM
what am I doing wrong? Please help

Added (1). Also I did port forward. I don't know if other people can join my server or not, but I can't.

How to get my minecraft back to normal?

A couple weeks ago or something, something happened to my minecraft game on my windows 8 laptop. I didn't do anything at all, I was just logging onto one of my worlds and then BAM everything is extremely small. Well not everything, all the blocks and people look the same but the experience bar, food bar, heart bar, chat, menus, and option stuff is all small. I can't tolerate it anymore. I can't ever read any chat stuff and i really need to be able to see it so I can play servers and not be totally clueless. It's really annoying. I tried downloading minecraft again but nothing changed. I look at the minecraft website but didn't see anything for my kind of problem. Please help, I don't know what to do.
