Does anyone know of a server jar that allows you to add plugins, but doesn't really change the game itself? Or are there some settings I can change to make a spigot server close to vanilla? On my server we don't want the changes that break certain vanilla mechanics, like big iron farms, and decreased mob spawning. Anything is appreciated! Ok I figured out the mob spawning, but I don't know if there's a way to make the server handle villages exactly like vanilla. Anyone know?

Just use CraftBukkit. In theory, CraftBukkit without any plugins should be the same as vanilla Minecraft. In theory.
It is, bukkit is just an overlay for the oroginal server woch enables you to create and load plugins.
