Minecraft Plugins

One of the key elements of Minecraft is its modding community, which has developed countless plugins that can enhance gameplay, add new features, and customize the game in various ways. In this article, we will take a closer look at Minecraft plugins and how they work.

What are Minecraft plugins?

Minecraft plugins are custom scripts that modify or extend the functionality of the game. They are written in Java and can be loaded into Minecraft’s server-side software (such as Spigot or Bukkit) to add new features or alter the behavior of the game. Plugins can range from simple tweaks to gameplay mechanics to complex systems that introduce new gameplay mechanics, such as quests, custom items, or minigames.

Plugins are often created by members of the Minecraft community and shared freely with others. They can be downloaded from various websites, such as the official BukkitDev site, and installed on a Minecraft server with just a few clicks. Plugins can also be customized to fit the specific needs of a server or game mode, allowing for a high degree of flexibility and customization. If you have a good idea and are ready to invest some time, you can learn how to develop your own plugin.

How to add Plugins to your Minecraft Server

If you want to use plugins on your Pockethost server, you can do this in a few clicks.

Go to the server overview of the server where you want to install the plugins and click the “PLUGINS” tab. Here you can add plugin slots for your server. Clicking on a slot will redirect you to our curated plugin catalog. There you will find the most common and popular plugins for Minecraft. We make sure they are up to date and compatible with your current version. You can choose the plugin you want from the catalog and use it. Note that some plugins only work in combination with other plugins. You will be informed about this in the app.

If you can’t find the plugin you want in our catalog, you can upload plugins yourself. You can find this function by scrolling down the plugin catalog. Make sure that the plugin is up to date and works with your server version.
