Video (this guy also advertises his own server host, you do not need it just host it yourself rather than paying him, he also talks about port forwarding which is not necessary for a test server):    • How To Make a Minecraft Paper Server (1.21.5)  
If you want a server others can join, I recommend Minehut, it is free: https://app.minehut.com/

IDEs:
I use IntelliJ IDEA, it is the best Java IDE in my opinion and has the most features, though it isn't free, it costs $15/month or $150/year, students do get it for free and recent graduates get 40% off, I highly recommend it: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
Eclipse is a simpler and free Java IDE, if you can't afford IntelliJ IDEA then I recommend Eclipse: https://eclipseide.org/
Project setup in Eclipse will look different, here is a tutorial you can follow in Eclipse if mine is too hard to follow in another IDE:    • How to setup Eclipse for Spigot/Bukkit Plu...  
Future tutorials should look the same no matter the IDE so after this it will be easy to follow along in Eclipse.
