Install plugins

Plugins extend Paper / Vanilla servers without touching world data. Worlds stay vanilla-compatible.

Requirements

• Server software must be Paper (or another Bukkit fork).
• Vanilla and Forge servers don't support plugins — install a modpack instead.

Install from Hangar

1. Open your server in the dashboard.
2. Go to Plugins tab.
3. Search for the plugin (e.g. EssentialsX, LuckPerms, WorldEdit).
4. Click Install. The plugin downloads to plugins/.
5. Restart the server for the plugin to load.

Manual upload (custom plugins)

For plugins not on Hangar:

1. Go to Files tab on your server.
2. Navigate to plugins/.
3. Drag the .jar file into the file manager.
4. Restart the server.

Configure plugins

After first launch, plugin config files appear in plugins/<PluginName>/.

Edit them via the file manager, then restart the server (or use /reload for plugins that support hot reload).
