Installing Plugins & Modpacks

Plugins and modpacks add features, but files must be placed correctly.

Plugins (Paper/Spigot server)

1. 1Download the plugin .jar file.
2. 2Open the file manager, go into the plugins/ folder.
3. 3Upload the .jar there.
4. 4Restart the server and check the console to confirm the plugin loaded.

Modpacks (Forge/Fabric)

1. 1Pick the Forge/Fabric installer matching your Minecraft version.
2. 2Run the installer server-side (via the provided setup), or upload the result.
3. 3Put mods in the mods/ folder.
4. 4Restart and watch the console.

Modpacks need more RAM. See How to Choose the Right Server Plan.

Tips to avoid errors

• Make sure every plugin/mod matches the server version.
• Add a few at a time, not all at once — easier to find the culprit.
• Read the last console lines when something breaks; it usually names the conflicting plugin.
