Server Setup

Follow these steps to install DeltaPlugins on your Minecraft server:

Step 1: Download the plugin

Log in to your DeltaPlugins account and navigate to your plugin library. Download the .jar file of the plugin you want to install.

Step 2: Upload to your server

Upload the .jar file to the /plugins directory of your Minecraft server. You can do this using FTP, SFTP, or your hosting provider's file manager.

your-server/
├── plugins/
│   ├── YourDeltaPlugin.jar
│   └── ... (other plugins)
├── server.properties
└── ... (other server files)

Step 3: Restart your server

Restart your Minecraft server to load the new plugin. This can typically be done with the command:

stop

And then starting the server again.

Step 4: Verify installation

After your server has restarted, log in and use the command:

/plugins

You should see your newly installed DeltaPlugin in the list.

Pro Tip

Many hosting providers offer one-click installations for popular plugins. Check if your host supports this feature for easier installation.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during installation, try these common solutions:

Plugin doesn't appear in the plugins list

  • Verify that the .jar file is in the correct directory (/plugins)
  • Check server logs for any error messages
  • Ensure your server meets the minimum requirements
  • Try restarting the server again

Plugin loads but doesn't work properly

  • Check if the plugin requires configuration before use
  • Look for a config.yml file in the plugin's folder and edit as needed
  • Verify that you're using the correct commands
  • Check for dependency plugins that might be required

Java version errors

If you see errors related to Java version, make sure your server is running the required Java version. You can check your Java version with:

java -version

Permission issues

If you're getting permission errors:

  • Make sure the server has read/write permissions for the plugins directory
  • Check if you have the necessary permissions to use plugin commands
  • Verify that your permission plugin (if any) is configured correctly
