Overview
Minecraft plugins are add-ons that can change a server by introducing new features, game mechanics, or quality-of-life improvements. They are useful for managing large servers and providing moderation, chat management, and anti-griefing tools. Beyond administration, plugins can enrich the gameplay experience with features like enhanced building systems, in-game economies, or new custom game modes.
Note: Modpacks may come with Cauldron or MCPC+ pre-installed, simplifying the setup process.
