1. Open the RedHosting Control Panel
Open your server's control panel and go to the "Versions" tab ("Versões").
In this section you can choose which server version you want to run.
2. Choose a plugin-compatible version
Now you need to choose a server version that supports plugins. Examples of servers that support plugins:
- Paper
- Purpur
- Spigot
- Bukkit
Select one of these versions and click "Install".
3. Installing the right JAR file
After choosing and installing the server version you want, you'll see a JAR file being downloaded and installed on your server. This file is your server's "engine", and it must be plugin-compatible.
4. Downloading plugins
Now that your server is ready for plugins, you can start installing them:
- Visit sites like SpigotMC or PaperMC to find plugins.
- Download the file of the plugin you want to install (usually a .jar file).
5. Adding the plugin to your server
- Go to the "plugins" folder in your server directory. If it doesn't exist, just create it.
- Put the plugin's
.jar file inside the "plugins" folder.
- Restart the server to load the plugin.
6. Checking that the plugin was installed correctly
ℹ️
After restarting, the plugin should load automatically. You can check that it's working by running the plugin's command in the server chat or by looking at the console for messages showing the plugin was loaded.
7. Common problems
- If the plugin doesn't work, check that you chose the right server version. Some plugins may not be compatible with older or newer server versions.
- If the server freezes or throws errors, check the console for errors or read the plugin's documentation.
