Things to Remember
We Help with Hosting, Not Plugins: You’ll need to find and manage plugins or mods yourself, we will not help you with this. If you're having trouble you're more than welcome to ask the community for help! Make Sure They Match: Plugins or mods need to work with your server version. Check before you download!
