Install plugins

Search thousands of free plugins and install them in one click.

  1. In the Plugins card, type what you need (for example worldedit) and press Search. Results come from Modrinth, the largest open plugin library.
  2. Press Install on the one you want. We pick the build that matches your Minecraft version and check the file before it goes on your server.
  3. Restart the server (press Restart) so the plugin loads.
  4. Later, press Check for updates in the same card to update plugins to new stable builds.
Want a ready set? The Plugin collections card installs proven sets together: Essentials Starter, Performance Pack, Admin Toolkit and Crossplay Pack.
A plugin made only for Fabric or Forge cannot run on a Paper server; the store says so instead of installing it.

Still stuck? Log in and ask support, or check the service status. New here? See server plans from $0.69 a month.
