Use Purpify’s plugin installer for a one-click installation, or upload plugin files to the /plugins folder.

Before you install a plugin

Confirm that:
  • The server uses Java software that supports plugins.
  • The plugin supports the server’s Minecraft version.
  • Every required dependency is installed.
  • You created a backup before changing a working server.

Install with the plugin installer

1

Open the server

Sign in to the game panel and manage your Java server.
2

Open the plugin installer

Open Purpify’s plugin installer from the server management view.
3

Choose a plugin

Search for the plugin, confirm its supported Minecraft versions, and select the release you want.
4

Install and restart

Install the plugin, then restart the server and check the console for dependency or compatibility errors.

Install a plugin manually

1

Download the plugin

Download the plugin .jar from a source you trust. Confirm that the release supports your server software and Minecraft version.
2

Stop the server

Stop the server before changing plugin files.
3

Upload the plugin

Upload the plugin .jar to the /plugins folder.
4

Start and verify

Start the server and read the console. A successful first start normally creates the plugin’s configuration files inside /plugins.

Update or remove a plugin

To update a plugin, stop the server and replace its .jar with a compatible newer release. Keep the existing configuration unless the plugin author requires a migration. To remove a plugin, stop the server and remove its .jar from /plugins. Keep a backup of its data folder until you confirm the server works without it.

If the server does not start

Read the first relevant plugin error in the console. Check the plugin version, missing dependencies, and server software before removing other files. Follow Troubleshoot Java plugin errors for a symptom-based workflow.
