Plugins allow you to customize your Minecraft server with new features, commands, permissions, and gameplay mechanics. If you're running a Spigot, Paper, or Bukkit server, installing plugins is simple and takes just a few steps. ✔️

⛏️ Step 1: Make Sure You're Using a Compatible Server Type

Plugins only work on servers running Bukkit-compatible versions:

• ✔️ Spigot
• ✔️ Paper (recommended for better performance)
• ✔️ Bukkit

➡️ If you're not sure, check your panel to confirm the server type. You can switch server types by reinstalling from the version selector or Mod Manager (if available).

⛏️ Step 2: Download the Plugin

Go to a trusted plugin site like:

• ➡️ dev.bukkit.org
• ➡️ spigotmc.org/resources

✔️ Download the plugin's .jar file that matches your Minecraft server version.

⛏️ Step 3: Upload the Plugin to Your Server

Use your panel's File Manager or an FTP client like FileZilla:

• ➡️ Navigate to the /plugins folder on your server.
• ➡️ Upload the plugin’s .jar file into this folder.

⏰ Step 4: Restart the Server

After uploading the plugin:

• ➡️ Go to the Console tab in your panel.
• ➡️ Click Restart to load the plugin.
• ✔️ Once restarted, the plugin should be active and ready to use.

➕ Managing and Configuring Plugins

• ➡️ Most plugins generate a folder inside /plugins after the first launch.
• ➡️ You can edit config files from the File Manager or download them via FTP.
• ✔️ Be sure to read the plugin’s documentation for commands and permission nodes.

❗ Common Issues

• ❌ Plugin Not Loading – May be incompatible with your server version.
• ❌ Missing Dependencies – Some plugins require additional plugins (e.g., Vault, PlaceholderAPI).
• ❌ Console Errors – Read the logs for detailed error messages and fix missing or broken files.
