Installation
Check the requirements, install the plugin and complete its first start.
PacificSMP runs on Spigot and Paper with Java 21 or newer. It supports Minecraft 1.21 and newer, including 26.x releases, and has no hard or soft plugin dependencies.
Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Server software | Spigot or Paper |
| Minecraft | 1.21 and newer, including 26.x |
| Java | 21 or newer |
| Other plugins | None required |
| First start | Internet access for the server to download BoostedYAML and HikariCP |
Good to know
The plugin uses the server's library loader to download two small libraries, BoostedYAML and HikariCP. The server needs internet access on its first start. No other plugin is required.
Install the plugin
Stop the server
Shut the server down fully before changing its plugin files.
Place the jar
Put the PacificSMP jar in the server's plugins/ folder.
Start the server once
Start the server with internet access. The server downloads the two libraries and creates the plugin files.
Check the console
Confirm PacificSMP loaded without an error. The plugin folder will contain its settings, Dolphin definitions, language files and player database.
Plugin folder
data.db is created when SQLite storage is selected. With MySQL, player data is stored in the configured database instead. The archive folder is created when plugin files are reset.
Update or reload
Replace the jar while the server is stopped, then start it again. To reload changed settings and recipes without a full restart, use /pacificsmp admin reload with the reload permission. See Commands.
Good to know after a reload
On Paper, recipe book entries update immediately after a reload. On Spigot, crafting uses the new recipes at once, but players need to rejoin to see the refreshed recipe book.
For the first player and admin checks, continue to Quick start.
