How to Install a Minecraft Plugin

To install a Plugin in your Minecraft server, you first need to open the web-panel of your server.

Steps

After you open the web-panel, find and open the Plugins section which you can locate in the Sidebar of the panel.

Once you are there, look for the plugin on the page. If you cannot find it, search for the plugin's name using the Search Bar.

After you search, find the plugin you want and click Install button.

Now, make sure to select the same version as your Minecraft server and click Install again.

Verify Installation

To verify the installation, navigate to the Files section of your panel, open the 'plugins' folder, and check for the corresponding .jar file. If the file is present, the plugin is successfully installed.


Note
  • After installing the plugin, you must restart your Minecraft server to activate it.
  • Make sure your server's hardware is powerful enough to handle the plugin.

Start Your Minecraft Server Today

Pick a plan and your Minecraft server is online in about 30 seconds, with Paper plugins and Forge modpacks one click away in the panel. Full file access and SFTP are there when you go deeper, and automatic backups turn a broken config into a restore, not a rebuild.
