Getting Started
Installation
Requirements, a step-by-step install, and what the plugin creates on first run.
Getting ProTools running takes a couple of minutes. There are no other plugins to install first.
Requirements
| Needs | Detail |
|---|---|
| Server software | Paper and Folia (any fork that supports the Paper API) |
| Minecraft | 1.21 and newer |
| Dependencies | None |
| Folia | Supported |
ProTools has no hard dependencies. If your server runs Paper or a Paper fork on a recent version, you are ready to go.
Install it
Download the jar
Grab the latest ProTools jar from wherever you got the plugin.
Stop the server
Shut the server down fully before adding the plugin, so it loads cleanly on the next start.
Drop it in the plugins folder
Move the jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
Start the server
Boot the server back up. ProTools loads and creates its config on first run.
Check it loaded
Run /protools list in game. If the tools menu opens, you are all set.
What gets created
On first start ProTools makes its own folder inside plugins/:
- 📁 plugins
- 📁 ProTools
- 📄 config.yml
- 📁 ProTools
Everything you can change lives in config.yml. See Configuration for a full walkthrough.
First steps after install
Give yourself a tool
Run /protools get <tool> to put a tool in your hand. Tab-complete shows every tool id.
Try the menu
Run /protools list to open the in-game menu and grab tools by clicking them.
Tune the config
Open config.yml, adjust names, cooldowns, or the self-destruct timer, then run /protools reload.
Every tool is on by default. To hide one, set its enabled value to false in the config and reload.
