How to Install Plugins on Your Minecraft Server
Plugins help enhance your Minecraft server by adding new features and functionalities. Follow this guide to install plugins easily using the game Panel.
1. Ensure You Are Using a Plugin-Supported Server Type
Make sure your server is running a plugin-compatible version such as:
- Spigot
- Paper

Note:
Vanilla Minecraft does not support plugins. If you are using a Vanilla server, you need to switch to a compatible version.
2. Download the Plugin
Find and download your desired plugin from trusted sources like:
- SpigotMC
- Bukkit
Make sure to download the version compatible with your Minecraft server.
3. Upload the Plugin to Your Server
- Login to your Game Server Panel
- Select your Minecraft server
- Go to the File Manager tab
- Open the plugins folder
- Click the Upload button and select your downloaded plugin (.jar file)
4. Restart Your Server
After uploading the plugin, restart your server from the Console tab to apply changes.
Warning:
Some plugins require additional dependencies or configurations. Check the plugin documentation for more details.
