Ultimate Guide to Boosting Your Minecraft Server

Welcome back guys we’re back again with another tutorial video this time we’re going to be going over how to install plugins and how to configure them for your server so with that we log on to our multicraft control panel and from here we can add or remove

Plugins there are two ways to do it one of which is going on to this plug-in list option here from the files and here you have a huge list of plugins they’re constantly being developed and uploaded you can choose what source you want it from whether it be bucket spigot pocket

Mine pocket or new kit and you can also search in the search bar here for specific ones if you’re looking now another way is to actually download the plugins yourself and upload them to the server and if you go to files and head down to local plugins once you do have them in

Here they’ll be listed here now for the first way we’re just going to be installing it through the site and for this we’re going to be installing essential x so now we’re on our plugins list we’re going to be searching for what is relative to our server so i’m running a

Bucket server so i’m going to click bucket here and then i want to specifically search for one so i’m going to click in this box here so we’ve typed in essential and straight away we can see essential x is just there so we’re just going to tap that

And we come to this page here if you want any further information you can tap the plugin page right here and it’ll give you um sort of setup tips and stuff like that so it’s always um advice to go check that out so once you’re happy with all the

Information on there you have to come over and choose the right one for your version so i’m running 1.15.2 which will be this one so it’ll be compatible with any of these versions right here and the latest version does comply with that so it’s 2.18.2 so we’re just going to hit install

Once it’s installed you’ll come up with these three buttons here you can of course disable it if you don’t like it remove it completely or change to a different format if this one isn’t working so once you’ve done that simply hit restart on your server panel and then it should all boot in

As we can see here startup done in 6.3 seconds and we’ve downloaded the essential x plugin so with that done we’re going to move over to the other way of downloading plugins which is actually heading over to the site itself now there’s many many sites you can either use the bucket site

The spigot site or many other ones and all you’ve got to do on here is just find the right one for you and very much in the same way just find uh the correct version as well what will work for your own version so you know if you were to come and you

Particularly wanted this one you’re going to hit download there and download the jar file what i like to do personally is just keep a folder on my computer with all the very well used plugins or the ones that have worked for me and just keep it safe down if you’re

Going to be using it this way plus it’s a lot easier to access when you actually want to upload it to your server so now i’ve downloaded a few more which go together with the essentials such as vault and lucky perms and i want to add

Them but i want to add them manually because they’re not in the system so with that you head on over to your ftp file access once you put in your information you’re going to be brought up onto this page here and if you scroll down a bit you’re going to see the

Folder with plugins now if you hit that directory you’re going to come to the file which contains all your actual plugins in now we’ve got to do here is head on over to the left to the upload and tap that button here you’re going to be asked if you

Want to add a file or an archive and you’re going to be adding a file so you’re going to be adding the jar so i’ve come over to my documents and i’ve opened up my folder here with all my plugins that i’ve saved and i want to add let’s start

First with the vault so we click that open and it’s added it there to the file and of course if you check up here it’s uploaded to the directory of plugins so that’s correct now i want to download another two more as well so if i choose um another file as well i

Want to download lucky perms and then i also want to download a anti-cheat that i might be using on here so if we hit that one more time and for this case i’m just going to use the ultimate anti-cheat so double-click that and you’ve got your three files there

Now simply just hit the submit button and you can see that i’ve actually transferred all the files and it’s all been successful so i’m just going to come back to my server and hit restart so once that’s booted up you’re going to see that stuff like volt lucky perms

And the anti cheat is all loaded into the world and you’ve started and your server is ready to go so with that we’re going to head down to our server click join and we’re just going to check that all our plugins are installed so if we do a forward slash

Uh plug in there press enter and you’re going to see all the ones and i have added a few more with the essentials like the protect and the chat they do also help so they’re all on your server and installed now so now we’ve installed our plugins and

Everything we want our is on our world all we got to do to configure them is head to our files head to the ftp file access and then head to the plugins so this is where you can actually configure them so let’s say if you wanted to configure something on the

Essentials you would go on to essentia essentials and then let’s say for instance we wanted to configure something in the uh yml the main configuration we’re going to hit edit on the right hand side and it brings you up here now this is quite a long read so

Obviously i’ll leave this so you can look over it yourself but just a quick one it’ll basically you can change everything in game through here just don’t change anything you’re not sure about uh do some research into it but you know anything from the prefixes

Suffixes um if we just scroll down a bit you can change what um stuff people can give and what’s blacklisted in the world and much like your server settings this is basically a very very more in detail configuration to change stuff over it it usually is changing it from true to

False or possibly removing stuff so if we scroll to here this is a permission system to set if you haven’t got your own permission system and you can of course change stuff on here what you want people to be able to use or not in their groups

Stuff like whether they can use the warp command timeouts afk kicks and all that stuff that can all be accessed here so again to configure this all you got to do on on the end of here it will tell you whether it will ask you rather whether you want it true or false

If it’s true you want it to work like the previous statement if it’s false then you don’t um plus a lot of these times they’ve been configured very well it’s only if you really need something changing or something might be mucking up with one of them let’s say

With an anti-cheat it might be detecting flight too soon you can always change the statistics all through your config yml if you’ve gone ahead and also installed the protect to the essentials it will give you even more commands here which you can switch over so whether you want lava flow to be

False or true water flow uh flimp fire and stuff because this is all to protect your land um or land that’s been claimed and stuff like that and you can change all of this stuff you know whether ender dragon can damage stuff whether they can’t so

It’s worth having a good look at if you do get the time so you’ve gone through all and you’re happy you’re just going to hit save and then you’re going to back up a bit again all of the plugins will come with these sort of yml so you can change

Everything from let’s say the kits on this and if you come on to another plugin over here you can again do the same thing so with the configuration you can edit that just check out what lucky perms and what you can and can’t do you might be able to change some of the

Configurations around if you want to but again i wouldn’t suggest it unless you really know what you’re doing because on the most part they do configure these quite well so with that you’ve edited everything that you want in your configuration file and you’ve got it specifically tailored to yourself

You just head back to your server page and you’re going to hit restart most of the time the configuration will automatically upload but i’d just like to restart just to make sure everything has gone through correctly for the other ones that you downloaded yourself once you want to remove them

You head to your ftp file access and then you head down to plugins again select the one you want to remove so in this instance we want we’re going to remove volt so we do volt there and then the volt jar because we’re not going to need any of that and then you

Simply hit delete now that you’ve removed the plugins that you don’t want anymore just simply hit restart on your server and that will all kick in so now you should successfully be able to install remove plugins and change any configuration if you need to and of course don’t forget some plugins do come

With in-game configuration for that they’ll usually include it in the setup and all you got to do is forward slash and the name of the plugin will usually be the first command thanks for watching if you want to check out any more tutorials like this don’t
