   Overall Great

   Overall my experience with Aternos have been great, it has been pretty simple to manage, and starts up quick once everything has been set up.

   Probably the one reason why I wouldn't always choose aternos to host a simple, free Minecraft server with friends, would be the fact you can't upload your own mods/plugins to the server, they must already be chosen by the staff which can be annoying.

   👍 Pros:    Completely free|Simple|Easy to use|Servers are fast|Mods are easy to manage

   👎 Cons:    Not being able to upload own plugins

   you make life too difficult mods complicated to install just give a list of all of the installed mods make the server always running not that hard you smurf why can’t I just remove one mod without removing all mods that is so stupid you guys are morons playing minecraft with ONE other person should not be this damn hard fix your shit and get a better name aternos sounds stupid

   👍 Pros:    None

   👎 Cons:    Everything

• luckperms not working with pixelmon permissions

  If you want to mix plugins and mods, use Sponge. Sponge was specifically designed for this. https://spongepowered.org/. LuckPerms has a version for Sponge. https://luckperms.net/download. Source: about 1 year ago

• modding

  2nd, your solution would be to use an hybrid server software like mohist or arclight but I do not recommend those, as they're unstable & some plugins could simply not work (this mixes the forge & bukkit API). I don't know if aternos has this option, but if you make a forge server, you can add a mod called forgesponge, which will allow your server to add plugins as if they were mods, although plugin compatibility...

• whats better for a modded server(Forge)? Paper, Spigot, Bucket, or vanilla?

• Optimization

  In the case where things are on the ground, a clear lag plugin or mod will help. You're on forge, I recommend converting to a Mohist server (I haven't tried to see if Mohist could be used for a client pack tho) if you can, even if you're not going to use plugins, but you can, such as clear lag. https://mohistmc.com/ it's actually better that https://spongepowered.org.
