How to install plugins
Plugins only work on plugin-compatible server types such as Paper, Spigot, or Purpur. They are not supported on Vanilla, Forge, Fabric, or NeoForge servers.
Step 1
Access your Game Panel and navigate to your Minecraft Java server. Once there, go to the Plugins section in the left sidebar.
Step 2
Use the search bar and filters to find the plugin you want to install:
- Search — type the plugin name to find it quickly.
- Versions — filter by your server's Minecraft version.
- Server Loaders — filter by your server type (e.g., PaperMC, Spigot).
- Providers — switch between Modrinth and other sources.
Step 3
Once you find the plugin, click the Install button on its card. A modal will open showing all available versions for that plugin.
Step 4
In the version modal, choose the version that is compatible with your server's Minecraft version and server loader. You can use the Versions and Server Loaders dropdowns to narrow down the options. Then click Install next to the version you want.
Step 5
A green notification will confirm that the plugin was successfully installed in your Plugins folder. Restart your server from the Console tab so the plugin loads properly.
Additional Notes:
- You can also install plugins manually by uploading the
.jarfile directly to the/pluginsfolder via the Files section. - To remove a plugin, delete its
.jarfile from the/pluginsfolder and restart the server. - Some plugins require additional configuration after installation. Check the plugin's documentation for setup instructions.
✅ That's it! Your plugin has been successfully installed. If you have any problems, contact us via Discord (opens in a new tab) so we can help you.
