Server Mods are modifications to the official Minecraft server software. They generally fall into two broad categories: management and gameplay.
Management mods are commonly designed to make administration of servers easier by implementing tiered privileges for commands (such as kicking, banning etc). They are frequently implemented as "wrappers" which do not actually modify the main server .jar file, instead monitoring its output and sending commands to it.
Gameplay mods are modifications to actual game mechanics, such as restricting the placement of blocks commonly abused by Griefers (eg. lava, TNT), fixing bugs in the server (eg. making furnaces function before the update of 10th of September 2010) or adding new gameplay features.
