Plugins, Mods & Modpacks

Install DiscordSRV, create a Discord bot with the Server Members and Message Content intents, then put the bot token and channel ID in DiscordSRV's config.yml and restart.

Install Dynmap or BlueMap, set its web server port to an extra port from the Network tab, and open http://your-server-address:port in a browser to see a live map.

Install EssentialsX (plus Spawn and Chat if you want them) with Vault and LuckPerms, then set spawn, warps and kits, and give players permissions for /home and /tpa.

Install Geyser and Floodgate from the Plugins tab, add a port with Create Allocation in Network, set it as Geyser's Bedrock port, and Bedrock players can join your Java server.

Back up, open the Modpacks tab, pick Modrinth or CurseForge, filter by Loader and Version, then Details → Install. Players install the same pack and version in their launcher.

Install Fabric, Forge or NeoForge in the Versions tab, then use Mods → Browse Mods (Modrinth or CurseForge) → Install, or upload .jar files to the mods folder. Players need the same mods.

Install LuckPerms from the Plugins tab, give yourself luckperms.* from the console, then create groups, add permissions and assign players with lp commands or the web editor.

Install Simple Voice Chat, add an extra port in the Network tab, and set that port in voicechat-server.properties. Every player also needs the mod on their game.

On an offline-mode server, install a login plugin such as AuthMe or LibreLogin so nobody can join as you, and SkinsRestorer so players get skins back with /skin.

Run a proxy (Velocity recommended) on its own server, add your backend servers to velocity.toml, and turn on modern forwarding so backends can safely use online-mode=false.

ViaVersion lets newer clients join an older server, ViaBackwards lets older clients join a newer server, and ViaRewind adds 1.7 and 1.8 clients. Install them from the Plugins tab.

Plugins tab → Browse Plugins → pick a platform (Modrinth, CurseForge, Hangar or SpigotMC) → search → Install → restart. Or upload any plugin .jar to the plugins folder in Files.
