Plugins
PaperChunk servers run Paper (a high-performance Spigot fork), which supports thousands of plugins.
Installing Plugins
From the Catalog
The plugin catalog shows popular, tested plugins:
- Go to your server → Plugins tab
- Browse or search the catalog
- Click Install on any compatible plugin
From Modrinth
You can search the entire Modrinth plugin repository:
- In the Plugins tab, use the Search Modrinth field
- Find the plugin you want
- Click Install — PaperChunk automatically picks the correct version for your MC version
Manual Upload
If the admin has enabled manual uploads, you can upload .jar files directly:
- In the Plugins tab, click Upload Plugin
- Select your
.jarfile - Restart the server to activate it
Note: Only upload plugins from trusted sources. Malicious plugins can damage your server.
Managing Plugins
Enabling/Disabling
Installed plugins can be toggled on or off without removing them. Disabled plugins are moved out of the plugins folder and won't load on next restart.
Removing Plugins
Click Remove next to any installed plugin to delete it. The server needs a restart for changes to take full effect.
Compatibility
The plugin list shows compatibility with your current Minecraft version. If a plugin is marked incompatible, it means no version matching your MC version was found on Modrinth. You can toggle "Show incompatible plugins" to see all plugins regardless.
