How to Install Plugins or Mods

Accepted Answer

Minecraft Server plugins and mods allow you to extend the standard game options of Minecraft. This article will outline how to load them onto your server.

Please Note: We have a mod and plugin install service if you'd like us to do this for you. Contact us for more details.

Step 1: Determine which flavour of Minecraft you need

Start by reviewing the plugin or mods you want to install. The two main versions of Minecraft that use plugins or mods are Forge and Bukkit. The plugin you are looking to install will indicate which server type you will need to have loaded. For example, https://dev.bukkit.org/ lists all the plugins made for Bukkit, and https://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods lists all mods made for Forge.

Step 2: Determine which version of Minecraft you Need

Review the plugin download page and see which version of Minecraft is supported. For example, this plugin download page featured below indicates that the mod only works on version 12.2 of Forge.

You now know which server type and version you need to install on your server.

Step 3: Login to Multicraft

Login to the Minecraft Control Panel using the email and password sent to you upon signup.
