Steps:

1. Open your slots using the piston in your hotbar or the Servers item from the menu.
2. Pick a free slot (1 to 3).
3. Run through the setup: software, version, and options.
4. Wait until the server is created and shows as running.
5. When it is online, left click to join from the same menu.

Open Control for your server (/realm config <slot>), then open Plugins.

Choose one path:

• Plugin templates: Curated one-click installs.
• Browse Modrinth: Search, pick a project, and install.
• Installed plugins: This screen lists what is already on the server. Remove plugins here when the network allows it.

Why can’t I find a plugin on Modrinth?

Common reasons:

• Some projects are hidden by network policy.
• Your search terms may not match how the project is named.
• If you still cannot find it, ask staff whether it is blocked on purpose.

Two common setups:

• Whitelist: Add their Minecraft name so only listed players can join. Useful for private servers.
• Slot users: Add people as users on your slot with permissions (for example who can change settings and who can only play).

Where to configure: In Control, open User permissions or Whitelist. Labels can differ per network.
