Minecraft – About security on Minecraft plugins

minecraft-java-edition

My son discovered MineCraft some months ago.
I decided to buy him a premium account.
He hosts a server to play with his friends.

Now, he wants to install kind of plugins to "hack" (in his term) his server to be able to dig larger part of land at once…

He told me that he would like to install the "bukkit" plugin
He told me also about a "server starter" "server starter" I'm less confident about installing this stuff…

Does exist a kind of "official" repository for these stuff ?
Which one I should not install for security reasons ?

The server is running on a window computer. I've read that exist an OS for running a server on Linux

Google, really, easy to find official URLs for mods that result in the Minecraft or Bukkit forums.

For example, Minecraft TooManyItems yields Minecraft Forum - TooManyItems (306 pages).

As long as you stay on (and read) trusted forums like the ones I mentioned above, nothing goes wrong. If your son does the same, and doesn't steer away from that, he knows what he is doing.
