Minecraft Server Plugin Directory
What is a Minecraft plugin?
A Minecraft plugin is a server-side add-on for Java Edition servers running software such as Paper or Spigot. Plugins add gameplay features, moderation tools, economy systems, minigames, and quality-of-life commands without changing vanilla Minecraft client files. Players join with a normal Minecraft client; the server loads plugins from its plugins folder at startup.
How do you use plugins on a server?
Download a compatible plugin build for your server version from a trusted source such as Modrinth. Place the .jar file in your server’s plugins directory, restart (or reload if the plugin supports it), then configure any config.yml files the plugin creates. Always match plugin versions to your Minecraft version, read the developer docs, and test on a staging server before deploying to your public Minecraft server list listing.
