How to download plugins to the Minecraft server

Plugins for your Minecraft server

Downloading plugins for modded Minecraft server hosting is one of the most important things for a vibrant game and the operation of your Minecraft server, especially if you have high-quality plugins, it will be easier to attract new players. Plugins are used to make the game experience more interesting, convenient, and diverse; there are more than tens of thousands of plugins to choose from.

Uploading plugins to the server

In order for your plugin to work perfectly on the server, you need to have a suitable kernel, such as Bukkit or Spigot, because the (vanilla) Vanilla server, on a regular kernel, cannot support plugin uploads. You can download any core yourself, for this you will need to set up an SFTP connection using the FileZilla program. You can also download plugins through the GODLIKE server panel.

TIP

Download with FileZilla

CAUTION

Be sure to check that the plugin matches the settings of your server to avoid errors in operation

1) For a quality connection, you need to connect your server data. To get your data, go to the server control panel, go to "General Settings" in the menu and view the SFTP data.

TIP

In order to learn how to use the SFTP connection using our server panel, we suggest you read our guide

2) Go to FileZilla and enter the connection address in the "Host" field; login in the "User" field, and your SFTP password must match the password in the server panel, then click "Connect".

3) With the connection to the SFTP server established, open the folder named "plugins" and fill it with the desired plugins.

TIP

If this folder is missing, create it in the server folder

The plugin extension should look like "plugin.jar". This is the main file, if your plugin has additional files, add them to the "plugins" folder as well.

4) Restart your server and check the status of the plugin in the game. You're done.
