Java Server Setup/Clarification
I hope this is an appropriate place to ask this question as I am not a server owner as of yet, but seeking some advice prior to becoming one.
I'm looking to purchase a server to be able to play Java with my brother. My plan is to run it Vanilla but with Lithium installed server side for optimization. I've reached out to three somewhat popular server providers seeking clarification on what type of server package I would need, but all of the help has been via an AI and was not very helpful.
Most of the server providers offer servers as 'Vanilla' or with 'Modpacks'. Then I read on reddit that if I wanted to run mods I would need a 'Paper' server. I'm just a bit confused and was wondering if someone could help me out understanding exactly what I would need to start up a Java/Vanilla server with the ability to run mods such as Lithium. Thanks!
