Are plugins compatible with vanilla clients?

Yes — that is the entire point of plugins. Anyone running an unmodified Minecraft Java client can connect to a plugin-equipped server.

Do I need to be technical to install plugins?

Basic plugin installation is straightforward: drop the JAR file into your server's plugins/ folder and restart. Configuring permissions and tuning each plugin can be more involved — most plugin pages link to the author's setup guide.

What server software should I use?

For most servers, Paper is the recommended choice — it is a high-performance fork of Spigot with extra optimisations and is compatible with the vast majority of plugins. Folia is the experimental multi-threaded version of Paper.

Server plugins for Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, and Folia.

The Plugins catalogue covers server plugins for Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur, and Folia — the JAR-based extensions you drop into a server's plugins/ folder to add commands, permissions, world protection, and gameplay tweaks.

Every plugin entry lists the supported server software, the supported Minecraft versions, the official source, and the license. Plugins are server-side only — players do not need to install anything to use them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plugins run on the server only and modify gameplay through the existing Minecraft API — players use the vanilla client. Mods modify the game itself and require both the server and every player's client to install them.
