Plugin Installation Tutorial

Tutorial covering the installation of Irminsul plugins

Installing Irminsul plugins is easy, but the process is different for installing game server plugins and installing HTTP server plugins.

Plugins can be malicious! Never run plugins from sources you do not trust.

Place your plugin .jar into the plugins folder within your server's run directory. This folder is created automatically when you first launch Irminsul.

As Irminsul supports multiple game servers, simply dragging a plugin into the plugins folder isn't enough, as some people may want different plugins on different servers. You must go to your server's config.hjson and add the plugin name to the plugins array within the settings of the server you wish to add it to. The .jar is not needed.

# List of enabled plugins on this server
"plugins": [
    "DiscordPlugin-1.0.0"
]

Attempting to use a plugin that server can't find will raise a warning, yet the server will continue without it. Likewise, having a plugin in your plugins folder that is not used by any servers will raise a warning.
