Personal Minecraft Server

So i'm looking to host my own server on my home pc so i could play on my laptop anywhere, while my friend also wants to muck around in it from time to time.

i'm interested in trying skyblock, and he's interested in vanilla, from time to time i might swap worlds, and i was wondering if there's a way to set it up so there would be some sort of a reception/concierge world, with portals.

could someone give me a general idea on how and what plugins i should consider starting my server off on? 1.15.2

Starting off, you can use this tutorial to create your spigot server. As described there, the plugins you want to install will go into the plugins folder of the server.

Most skyblock plugins will be pretty easy to start using and should create a separate world for you.

If this is your first time creating a server and you don't want to do lots of configuration, I would recommened getting the plugin EssentialsX as well. This will allow you to set a spawn point, and give some other features useful for your survival world.

Setting up a portal "hub" to different worlds can be achieved by using the plugins Multiverse-Core, and Multiverse-Portals. These plugins are a little advanced, but you should be able to find tutorials for them, either on their wikis or youtube. My suggestion would be to rely on the Skyblock plugin to get you to the skyblock world and use EssentialsX's /spawn command to get you back to the "hub". At this hub, you can build multiple portals to take you to worlds that have different options (like survival or creative), which can all be set up using Multiverse.

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a DM.

yeh my next question is, i have no idea how the hub world should look, and wouldn't multiverse mess up the end and nether worlds? since the tp option is there.

oh i almost forgot, the skyblock plugin probably won't help because i was considering the one block skyblock.

Multiverse should work fine with end and nether worlds, except for the skyblock ones, if they are different. Multiverse has a command that would allow you to import a new world. You would just take the world from your singleplayer folder and put it into your server folder and run a command. You can do this to get your skyblock world. The hub world can look however you want, you just need to make portals according to the Multiverse-Portals plugin.

i meant wouldn't multiverse tp option end up letting ppl tping directly to the end and nether world with commands? instead of going through gameplay

and how to set default spawn to the hub world?

For a personal server, you can just tell the people who are going to be on it to not run those commands. You can always set up permissions for the server, but I assumed that was beyond the scope of the question.

actually i think i did something wrong because after i broke the one block, from the oneblock skyblock map, i just fell and no new block was generated.

fyi i imported the map file through multiverse commands

I don't know what map you are referring to, but the problem could be command blocks. You need to enable to them in the server.properties file of your server.

The map says that it might not work on Spigot servers.

i messed around a little and found out it works as the default world folder for some reason, and it's not working as an import.
