Now that the Spigot Server is setup and running, it’s time to install some plugins. Even though no new window has opened, the server will be running and can be connected to in Minecraft by entering the IP Address 127.0.0.1 but this only works for your own machine. The Spigot server should now be running, and many new files generated including the Plugins folder.
Open this, and change it to say eula=true. Not much will happen, but an EULA.txt file will be generated in the folder. Once you’ve done that, head to that folder and double click the Spigot JAR file we just downloaded. You will need to place this JAR file into a new, clean folder on your Desktop. Instead, press ‘Download’, then download the JAR file on the next page. I’m going to choose 1.12.2, don’t press the ‘Create Server’ button. Head to the Spigot Download page, and choose your Minecraft Version.
You can also choose to use Paper, but we’ll use Spigot for the sake of this tutorial. If you don’t already have a Spigot server, you’ll need to set one up.
