Minecraft Lifesteal Server Creation

I need a complete Survival-style Lifesteal server built from the ground up. Starting with a clean install, you’ll configure everything: core performance tweaks, permissions, ranks, and a polished spawn.

Key gameplay features I want live on day one are:
• Lifesteal mechanics (players gain hearts on kills, lose them on death, with configurable limits)
• Custom mobs and custom items to enrich mid- and late-game content
• An intuitive economy system that ties into shops, auctions, and player trading
• Server should be completely optimized for a smooth player experience which could easily handle high chunk of players.

Please plan on writing or sourcing the necessary plugins rather than dropping in large premade packs—I’d like the result to feel unique. I’m happy to rely on Paper or Purpur for the base jar so long as you optimise it for 1.20+. I’ll provide the dedicated host once the files are ready for deployment; you just need to hand over the compiled plugins, configs, and a quick setup guide so I can drag-and-drop everything and go live.

Acceptance criteria
• Server boots without errors or major warnings
• All three core features function as described, with no severe dupes or exploits
• TPS remains stable at 20 with ten test players online
• Clear, commented configuration files included in the final zip

If this scope is clear, let’s talk timeline and any milestones you’d like to set for testing phases.
