Before you start: Make sure your server version supports Minecraft plugins. Some common server versions which support plugins are Bukkit/CraftBukkit, Spigot, Paper Spigot and Sponge.

  1. Download your desired plugin.

  2. Open your server's files (Either via SFTP or the built in filemanager).

  3. Navigate to the /plugins/ folder.

  4. Upload your plugin(s).

  5. Reload (not recommended) or restart (recommended) your Minecraft server.

If the plugin doesn't load make sure you installed the correct version and followed the installation guide provided by the author.
