Minecraft Plugins – How to Install Plugins

Plugins can range from simple additions, such as adding new items or blocks, to more complex features like game mechanics, new gameplay modes, or server management tools. They allow players and server administrators to customize and enhance their Minecraft experience beyond the base game’s capabilities.

Minecraft plugins are extensions or modifications that can be added to the game. They are essentially pieces of code that add new features, functionality, or customization options to the game. Plugins are created by the Minecraft community and can be downloaded and installed on servers or individual player clients.

You can install and use plugins on your Pockethost server in just a few steps. To do this, you can call up the plugin menu of your server.
