Minecraft

Installing plugins & mods

You don’t need to download .jar files or use SFTP. Your panel has a built-in installer that searches Modrinth and Hangar, filters out anything incompatible with your server, and installs with one click.

Installing a plugin

Log in at panel.frizzlenhost.com and open your server.
Open the Tools → Plugins tab.
Search by name. Results come from Modrinth and Hangar, and the installer only shows versions compatible with your server type and Minecraft version — no guessing.
Click Install. The plugin lands in /plugins, and the panel prompts you to restart so it loads.

Removing a plugin

One click on Remove in the same tab. This disables the plugin rather than deleting it — its files and config stay on the server, so you can re-enable it later without losing settings. Want it gone entirely? Delete its folder from Files → plugins/.

Plugins vs mods

Plugins run on Paper/Purpur servers. Players don’t install anything.
Mods run on Forge/Fabric servers (/mods). Players usually need the same mods installed on their client.
You can switch server type any time with one click — see Switching server version or type.
After a full modded setup instead of individual mods? See Installing a modpack — that’s one click too.

Advanced: manual install

Some plugins live outside Modrinth and Hangar (e.g. SpigotMC-only releases). For those, the old way still works:

Download the .jar from the source.
Panel → Files → plugins/ (or mods/ on Forge/Fabric) → Upload.
Restart and check the console for load errors. For mods, the version must match your Minecraft and loader versions exactly.
