Off your first invoice which is super good so if you’re yet to get your server then come and get yours from Apex but this guide will be as broad as possible so that you can use other server hosting providers as well so firstly we need to

Get to our server panel to do that on apex you go to the top right and click on panel and you’ll need to go and sign into your account the Account Details would have been sent to your email if you’re using Apex and then what I need

To do is I can go to my server just here and now we’re on our server and so there are two different ways you can go and add plugins to your server the first way I’ll show you is by using the FTP file access so this will apply to if you’re

Using a server on a different uh host as well and then secondly I’ll show you apex’s own way of adding plugins to the server as well now before we get any further we need to make sure we can actually go and use plugins on our server so we need to make sure we’re

Either using paper or spigot so come down here click on game file and you can then choose paper or spigot and if you’re using a different server hosting provider it’ll be slightly different place but it’s the same concept you need to be using either paper or spigot there

Are a few others but they’re the main ones now we’ve got two different ways we can go and add plugins to our server so the most General way is going to be using FTP file access this is just by adding the plugins to our files on the

Server and you can go and follow this if you’re using a different hosting provider as well and if you’re using Apex as well as me then what we can do is go and use apex’s own plug-in Adder um super easy to do but we’ll start off

Using the FTP file access but first of all we need to go and have a plugin to go and add so go and open up a new tab and then you want to go to a website called Cur Forge this is where I get my plugins from and go to curseforge.com

Then go and click on Minecraft and under categories click on it and you want to go and click on bucket plugins just like so now we’ve got so many different to Cho from here if you got something in mind you can go and search for it or you

Can just go and browse through here as you can see there’s quite a few to go and choose from so in this example here I’ll just go and get mine packs so let me go and click on it and then head to files and what you just need to do is

You need to note the game version this is compatible for so as you can see here this is for 1.2.2 if I come back to the server I can check the version we’re running 1.2.2 that’s fine so you may need to go and adjust your game file for the the

Plug-in you want or you can just go and get a different version of the plugin but you may need to change one of those so to go and download this you just head over to the right and click on the three dots and click on download file and

Hopefully it will go and start only a few seconds to go and after it’s downloaded it will be downloaded to your computer so now I’ve gone and got the plugin what I’m going to do is head over to the left and go and click on FTP file

Access and so if you’re using a different server host all you need to do is go to your files on the server in your files you then need to go and locate plugins which is just here in this folder and wait for it to load and

Next you just need to go and locate the upload button so on my case here it’s on the left it may be different for you on a different host though so I’ll click on upload and then what we can do is click on add files and we can go and find the

File well the plugin we just downloaded here it is just here so I’ll go and click on open and you can then go and see the progress on the left hand side and it’s now finished and then it will go and say uploaded and we can go and

Press on back in the top left like so and it should now be added here and then what you want to do is just come back again and just go back to the hosting page and what you’ll need to do is going to restart your server just like so so

The plugin is then gone and installed and of course make sure you understand how the plugin works as well so if I scroll down here we can go and read about it so we can go and see the commands here and how we can go and use

It so my server has now started so let’s head into Minecraft and join the server and just like that I’ve now joined the server and as you can see I now have this backpack option so then I can right click on it and I can start going and

Adding things to my backpack it’s super cool and there are so many other plugins out there which you can go and check out and you can go and see what you like to go and use so now I want to go into the next method but that is if you’re using

Apex your own server host server hosting provider may have its own way of adding plugins as well so go and see if there is one as that is a super easy way to do it so let’s head back to my browser now and what we can do is on the left here

Is go and click on plug-in list and then you can see all these different available plugins so you can browse through here and go and see if there’s anything that sort of takes your fancy as you can see there’s a huge list um and you can also go and go through the

Different categories here as well which is useful if you’re looking for something specific I’ve now found a plugin which I want to go and get which is this one here called the advanced spy inventory so I can go and click on it and then all I need to do is head over

To the right and go and click install also I can go and get this because my server is running 1.2.2 and this plugin is for 1.2.2 as well so I’ll go and click install and it’s now going and added it so it’s far easier than having

To go and download it and then re-upload it again into the FTP file access which is why I sort of prefer this method and then we can click on the back button in the top left and the back button again and then you can go and restart your

Server just to make sure the plug-in is properly installed just like so so just wait for it to go and restart and then what we can do is go and join it I’ve now gone and joined the server and the plugin I used is so you can go and see

Players ender chest and inventory so what I’m going to do is going and place an item in the ender chest and then the command I can use is slash Ender Chest like so and I can then type in the name of the player I want to go and look in

So I could type in mine just like so and I can then press enter and I can then go and view it just like that and it’s that simple I can also check out their inventory as well um and this is my own one so I sort of know I already have but

Yeah a super cool plugin especially if you’re playing with a lot of players
