Minecraft – How to do you add Mods to the Minecraft Bukkit Server

I would suggest you to download and configure the following bukkit plugins:

• Permissions. Allows you to set up groups and commands for other users.
• Essentials. Gives you /item, /spawn, /tp, /home, /warp, /time and much more.
• iConomy. Sets up an currency system. Also gives you the possibility to withdraw and insert "Eura" (as the currency is called) into a users account.

There is also a full list of server mods/plugins.

With a quick search on the Bukkit forums, I found the plugin LocalShop, that seems like what you asked for about shops.

As for the "teleport to others homes" part, I'm still looking for something myself. But I guess the best thing is to ask the Essentials creator to implement this.

I also advice you to install HeroChat, as it's a pretty good chat plugin, and BigBrother as it's a very good system to help fix griefing.

Plugins are usually installed by placing them in the /plugins folder, but some plugins also have custom installation steps, and these steps are usually detailed in the forum post.

For a mod to work in multiplayer, the author needs to create a SMP version. The most common way is through bukkit.

However if a mod adds new items, like the two examples you have given, playing SMP with it will require both a server mod and client mod to work together. This usually means the same developer or team needs to make both. If they don't provide both yet add new items, the mod is likely single player only.

For combining several of these mods, they all need to use compatible methods of adding themselves. If one is a bukkit mod while the other is its own mod that conflicts with bukkit you're usually out of luck.
