Installing Plugins On Paper

Installing Plugins

Plugins only work on Paper, Spigot, or Purpur servers. If you are on Vanilla, switch to Paper first.

Where to find plugins

Download plugins from trusted sources only:

Download the .jar file for your Minecraft version.

How to install

  1. Open your server in the panel
  2. Go to File Manager
  3. Open the plugins folder
  4. Click Upload and select your .jar file
  5. Go back to the Console tab and restart the server

The plugin loads on startup. You will see it listed in the console output.

Confirm it installed

In the console, run:

/plugins

Your plugin should appear in the list highlighted in green.

Plugin not loading?

  • Make sure you downloaded the right version for your Minecraft version
  • Check the console for error messages after restart
  • Some plugins require other plugins to work (dependencies). Install those first.
