Explains some plugins, what they do and their purpose

User based land protection plugin. The player spends cash to create and expand their claim. Can invite other players to join as well. More info here for the economy aspects, and general information about everything can be found here, on their website.

Vampire

A plugin that adds the ability to become a Vampire. Players are infected by chance when attacked by a vampire or by drinking their blood. Vampire walk faster, jump higher, have night vision, take no fall damage, don't drown, and most monsters don't attack them, although take extra damage from wooden stake-like items (sticks, fence post, wooden swords, etc) and from the sun. Vampires can't fill their hunger with food, and must feed off the living to fulfill thier bloodlust. More info can be found here
