With the Minecraft, there are two simple mods I suggest: Optifine and More Animations. All Optifine does is gives more ablility to mess with the way Minecraft looks to be able to not lag as much. The more Animations mod just adds more animations to teh creatures in the game. For servers, right now there are 2 servers I play on reguarly, and one is down, so... not much help there :P
