How To Install Plugins On Your Minecraft Java Edition Server

This is what you do if you need to install plugins to your Minecraft server.

Installing Using Our Plugin Manager

Danger

If you’re using our Plugin Manager you must set your Minecraft server version to either Spigot or Paper. If you try and run plugins on the Vanilla game or Forge they will not work.

1. Login to the Game Host Bros Panel and select your Minecraft server.
2. Go to Tools > Plugin Manager.
3. Select the plugins you want to install.
4. Restart your server.

Some plugins may not work with the latest versions of the game, so we suggest checking the plugin requirements before installing and making sure you’re on the correct version.

Manually Installing Most Plugins

If you’re not on Paper or Spigot then our panel plugins won’t work, here’s how to upload plugins to your server after finding a plugin that is compatible with your current Minecraft edition and version, plugins can be found from a site such as Modrinth.

1. Login to the Game Host Bros Panel and select your Minecraft server.
2. Go to Configuration > File Manager.
3. Open the plugins folder and upload your extracted plugin.jar.
4. Restart your server.

If you get stuck at any time, you can reach out to a Bro on Discord.
