Installation

Follow these steps carefully to make sure you install the plugins correctly.

Step 1: Download Your Plugin or Mod

First, you need to find the plugin or mod you want.

1. Go to websites like SpigotMC or BuiltByBit.

2. Search for a plugin or mod you like.

3. Download the file to your computer. (It’s usually a .jar file.)

Step 2: Upload the Plugin or Mod

Next we have to install the plugin on the server.

Log in to your MCServerHost dashboard.

1. Open the File Manager.

2. Find the plugins folder (or the mods folder if you’re adding mods).

3. Click “Upload” and choose the file you downloaded.

Step 3: Restart Your Server

After uploading, restart your server to make it work.

1. Go to the Console in your dashboard.

2. Press the “Restart” button.

Things to Remember

We Help with Hosting, Not Plugins: You’ll need to find and manage plugins or mods yourself, we can not help you with this. If you're having trouble you're more than welcome to ask the community for help!

Make Sure They Match: Plugins or mods need to work with your server version. Check before you download!
