How to Install Craftbukkit/Spigot Plugins

Beacon Hosting offers reliable game server hosting, including support for Craftbukkit and Spigot Minecraft servers. Installing plugins enhances your server’s functionality and gameplay experience. This guide will walk you through installing plugins on your Beacon Hosting server.

Access Your Server Panel

Log in to your Beacon Hosting account and navigate to your game server’s control panel. This panel provides access to file management, server settings, and plugin installation options.

Upload Your Plugin

Download the desired Craftbukkit or Spigot plugin from a trusted source. Using the file manager in your server panel, upload the plugin .jar file to the 'plugins' directory of your server.

Restart Your Server

After uploading the plugin, restart your server from the control panel. This initializes the plugin and loads it into your server environment.

Configure Your Plugin

Most plugins create configuration files after installation. Use the file manager or FTP access to customize these files according to your preferences.
