I found a setup tool that is made for people who keep spinning up Minecraft servers for friends and then resetting them a lot. It is meant to make deploying a new server way faster and less annoying.

It automates the boring parts like getting the server files ready and it can even download and install Java if you need it. It also helps you set up a Paper server and lets you pick some plugins during the setup.

This feels like something for small friend groups and anyone who likes to start over often. It is basically a quick way to get a fresh server running without doing every step by hand.
