What open-source Minecraft server and client should I use to ensure zero telemetry, with modding support?

Recently the server staff received an e-mail telling them to moderate the Discord server and the server chat on what they deem to be "appropriate."

Below is a message from owner of the server.

Free Speech Under Attack

Dear friends, I don't often post announcements of this sort, but I feel it's very important for you all to know what's currently going on.

From the very start, over 15 years ago, one of the key founding principles of MinecraftOnline has been free speech. What started out as an uncontroversal, common sense policy, has proved to be a cornerstone of this increasingly unique community. As time has passed and Western society has wavered back and forth in its political leanings, free speech has repeatedly come under attack for political reasons. It has now become common to see arrests for posts on social media in countries such as Britain and Germany, in the name of political control, which have overtaken the numbers even of traditionally totalitarian countries such as China and Russia - a truly dystopian nightmare for freedom of expression and personal liberty.

Throughout this decade and a half of change, MinecraftOnline has held steadfast to its libertarian principles, and remained an oasis of freedom and openness in an increasingly closed and controlled internet. That is, until now.

Microsoft, through their subsidiary Mojang, have issued an ultimatum to MinecraftOnline. We have been told to do away with our free speech policy (which long pre-dates Microsoft's acquisition of Mojang), within 7 days, or face a a permanent block. If that happens, nobody will be able to play on MinecraftOnline again, and the 15-year history of this beloved server will come to a sudden and bitter end. The full email we have received today, signed facelessly only as "Mojang Enforcement", is included below.

The email makes extremely vague claims about "harmful interactions" and "harmful comments", and we are asking Microsoft to clarify what specific interactions and comments they consider harmful. In the meantime, please spread the word, share this info on social media. Defend free speech.

[Solved Empirically] I have loaded this up on my machine and I seem to be getting good frame rates, but I am working under Fluxbox, a really light weight window manager. I would like to run KDE instead. It's a little heavier. Will that make a difference to Minecraft? Will minecraft work better if I am running with a server on another machine? (logic would say that with some portion of the work happening on that other machine the client should not need as much processing power)

Or is it just useless to worry about all this?

--Update Ok, I have re-installed the machine on KDE and tried it both against a server and a local game and both seem to run just fine, just an occasional double place but not a big deal.

Could one create a command block that causes a teleport transport station to be created? Teleport transports are a command block triggered by a stone pressure plate that uses the /tp command in a command block to send the player to a specific "grand central station", a return station should also be created to send the player back to a place nearby the sending station. The effect should be triggered using a specific gold tool.

Is such a thing possible with command blocks?

I just wanted to share some pictures of the castle I've been working on in one of my modded Minecraft worlds. I mostly proud of this one because I haven't used things like litematica and I haven't used cheats for anything relating to the castle (I have a real problem using cheats in my survival worlds, so this is a great step for me). I have been playing in peaceful but the point of this world is to be non-stressful and creative while still being a challenge. I'm currently unable to upload pictures directly so I will post links to the images.

Farmer for one, but I am not sure of the rest.

Lovely website to test what armour trims look like in various combinations!
